On Sunday, January 22nd, our sweet kitty, Billie, passed away. She was such a loving and special kitty. We sorely miss her and always will.
She was only 10 years old, but had had a malignant mammary gland tumor removed in May of 2005. She recovered very quickly from the surgery, and until a couple of weeks ago, had been very healthy and happy. We don’t know if the cancer had anything to do with the illness she had before she died. We had been in and out of the veterinary clinic almost daily in the 2 weeks before her death. The vet here isn’t quite sure what happened to her, probably a respiratory infection and probably viral. They don’t really have all the tests available here that they do in the states, and when they do, it takes a long time to get results. However, the outcome is unlikely to have been any different in the states.
This has been a sad and difficult week for us, but we are comforted by the fact that she did not have a long period of suffering and is at peace now. We love you, Billie!

Sorry for you loss. We will miss Billie. We also miss you both.
what sad news, we are sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about Billie. But just think of the adventures she had and how lucky she was to have you both. Take care.
We are so sorry to hear about Billie. John and I went through the same experience last spring and it was awful. What a lucky kitty to have owners that were kind enough to share Mexican paradise with her and did EVERYTHING they possibly could to heal her illness.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Take care.
