Alex, that was always my greatest fear, was that I had to rush Bump to the ER, and the interstate would be backed up. As it was, it was morning work traffic, had to slow up some, but I got thru OK. Didn't go to work on Monday. On Tues, construction, down to 1 lane, like beyond, way backed up.

I do believe, on Friday, God was watching over me and Bump. I would have fa-reaked, if I had run into that on Friday. I cannot even imagine, how horrible it must have been for you and Alex. Big hugs to you, for having to go thru that. (((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))

Thank you all, for sharing your stories. I am trying hard, to push those last moments away, and remember the way, he used to look at me, with great love. I at least know, that he knew, I loved him so much. kissing

Ohhh....I don't come here much anymore because the site acts up and gets stuck and won't work unless I use a browser I hate. I am so sorry I didn't see this sooner. The Burmese and Bombay Army plus me send great big ole purrs and prayers out to your family, we hate this happened. Meowma still feels sadabout BooBoo.but now remembers the look of love. Hopefully it will come back to you soon. Yes Bump got quite a few more really good years he would have missed otherwise. But still we are very sad. Lisa, Meowma would love for you to email on the regular email...

Meowma still see's me all of the time. Meowma and Dad can still hear me at the front door from time to time. I have never lived where they live now, but I am always with my Meowma and she knows it!

Its really hard trying to get those last images out of your head. Trust me, I'm still going through it. When I had to put my Angel Hanna down it was horrible. Her eyes were squinty, tongue hanging out and she was drooling like a St. Bernard. Every time I picture her, that is what I see. Its been two years and I can't get that image out of my head no matter what I do. Of course I have pictures of her when she was a kitten, when she was happy and healthy, playing. It doesn't matter though.

It might sound kinda crazy, but I think I remember Hanna that way for a reason. Of course I would rather picture her happy, healthy, being the lap cat that she was. But I think because of Hanna, I'm much more aware of Hunter. Now I'm the type of person to ask questions, to get a 2nd opinion of any diagnosis. Now, I'm the type of person to fight and not take no as an answer. Before I trusted vets. I had no reason not to. Now I'm very wary of them.

You're lucky that Bump came to you. Hanna never did. I say that but I think she did come to me in a different way. She gave me Hunter. Hunter, crazy, needy, overly energetic Hunter. I guess she wanted me to have some spice in my life. With Hanna, things were overly dull.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I believe everything happens for a reason. Although you might not believe it now, you may in the future. I most definitely believe you saw Bumpurr, probably letting you and the kittens know hes fine. Try to find a happy thought about him and replay it in your mind over and over again. I do have to say, you are one of the best cat moms around. You are always here for us catsters, now we are here for you.

Take care of yourself,
Kelly & Hunter

I know Lisa, it's hard not to think about it. But you MUST try. You MUST let the positive and wonderful memories stay in the front of your mind. Those are what's important. I don't know that there's a reason for everything, I don't believe that's always the case frankly. But we make due with the hands we're dealt. I've done it with what happened to Alex and I know you are strong and can do it with Bump. You were already doing it. Right now it's time to take care of YOU. Let your heart heal, let him come and see you, let the kittens comfort and love you. I know in my heart you'll keep up the good fight and educate more people on how to give their babies those wonderful years you did to Bump. What a lucky boy he is to have had you. big hugflowers

Bump chose me, I think, for a reason, his HCM. If it were not for that, I wouldn't know, what I know now, and be able to help other kitties and their mommy's or daddy's with it. I hear the terror in their posts. I remember that terror. I knew nothing about it, and had no one to help me. So I did extensive research.

It makes me feel good, to be able to help the mommy's and daddy's, give them the information, no one else will, and give them comfort and reassurance.

Just because Bump didn't make it, doesn't mean any kitty with HCM won't. He wasn't even supposed to live past 1 yr old, he made it to 5 1/2 yrs. He gave me alot of love, he had a great show carrer, and alot shuddered, thinking about going against him. I made some great friends on the circuit. And, I got the kittens because of him. I remember his greatest show, in Springfield MA, he won every ring.

I got a very nice card, from my vet, and she wrote a long personal message, made me cry, of course, but the warm thoughts, she intended, came thru. I also got a nice card from the ER vet, it was nice of her to do that too. Best of all, I got a report, from the Health Dept, in Albany, that his brain tested NEGATIVE for rabies. I told the ER vet, I wanted a copy of the report. I knew he didn't have rabies, I feel vindicated now.

I do believe, like Hunter said, sometimes things happen for a reason, sometimes they just happen.

Just as I was on a mission, to find where Bump's came from, took me a whole year, but I found it, now I am on a new mission, because Bump died. And those that know me, know, it will get done, maybe, this was the whole purpose, of Bump, and his saga.

The kittens are acting much better now, which makes me feel better. They don't check his carrier like they used to. I am thankful, they never stopped eating. Happened to me, when one of my mares was killed in a freak accident, my other mare, stopped eating, and just stood in the corner, and hung her head. I know that animals know, when their buddy dies.

You'll be okay Lis. You are much, MUCH stronger than I was when I lost Alex. You already know what needs to be done, I had no clue and at the time I couldn't have cared less. Today alone I have received 3 of those emails you talk about. The ones where the parent is like "please tell me I have hope". There is always hope! Always.

So terribly, terribly sorry. I feel so bad. I know Bumpurr had a hard way to go and had the best possible care. Of course he was well loved. My condolences to the entire family. Bumpurr was quite the character and will be sorely missed by this kitty.

Just saw this. I'm so sorry for the loss of Bumpurr! He had a wonderful life with you. Bumpurr would want you to remember him with a smile and remember the good times. So sorry.
