In loving memory of Moogie
January 2001 - April 2002

April 19th 2002, Moogie lost her fight against Feline Leukemia. She lived a happy and loving, yet short life, up until the very end. She is greatly missed.

Moogie Moo Moo, mama's baby, I love you.

I would like to thank the staff of Sequist Animal Hospital for making Moogie comfortable in the end and for taking care of all the cremation arrangements.
Thank you, Sequist Animal Hospital

In Memory Of Moogie

  I can look back and know that even though she only lived just over a year, she had all of the good experiences any cat could have in a lifetime, she just did it a little faster than most.

Sickly kitties give more love.

I hope everyone opens their heart to a sickly kitty and gives it the best life possible.

  Sickly kitties need more love, more time, more attention, and more devotion, but they give it all back to you. Sickly kitties snuggle up under your covers at night because they have a hard time staying warm on their own. Sickly kitties trust you 100%, because sickly kitties know that you crawl on your hands and knees on the way to the toilet in the middle of the night just so you don't step on the sickly kitty stretched across the hall way floor that doesn't have enough energy (or desire) to move out of your way. Sickly kitties know that if suddenly their food begins to taste bad and they don't want to eat it any more, you will go to the grocery store and buy them a carton of light cream and some ham lunch meat. Sickly kitties know that sudden trips to the vet to get rehydrated because mom had to be at work for 8 hours and couldn't be home to force feed water 3 cc's at a time are the norm, and no work schedule is more important than rehydrating the sickly kitty. Sickly kitties know that even though they feel really bad, in a few days mom will make it all better again, and they can enjoy a few more weeks under the covers with mom at night, a few more weeks walking across mom's keyboard on the weekends. Sickly kitties know that mom never lies, mom never ignores them, and mom never puts them in second place. In the end, sickly kitties know that mom will be there and hold them and tell them everything is OK, and that it's OK to go to sleep, and as they close their eyes and let go, sickly kitties know that mom loves them, and always will, and mom knows the love is a mutual feeling.


  Sure, it hurts, but I get a lot in return for my efforts, it makes me feel good inside, and that's the best feeling in the world. I have no regrets. Life is a roller coaster of emotion, you might as well be in the front seat where the view is good, and the wind is in your face.


  Thousands of perfectly healthy kitties are euthanased daily because they are carriers of an infectious disease such as Feline Leukemia, FIV, FIP, and other diseases. Many would live several happy and healthy years indoors with no signs of sickness. Most Animal Shelters and Humane Societies do not accept these cats into their facilities.
