from:"TatorBunz"




Hi all,
I ask for the records on Dukee they 
won't release them to me. They said the only way they would release them if 
another Vet requested them. Then it would be by fax only.
This is the first time I have ever been turned down getting any 
Vet records. 
Is this right?
I can tell you I'm getting disappointed in some Vets in the 
area I moved to.

Re: Vet Records




You know all I wanted was copies of them and nothing 
more.
I have to admit it does make me a little suspicious 
though.

Update Re: Vet Records

Wow, I lived in TX back in the early 80s up until 91 never had
a problem with getting my Pet Vet records either.
Especially since I was moving back to WA.
state.

Just to let you know I have spoke with a person of Veterinary
Board. She told me to write a letter of request and that they have 15 days to
get to me since the services were rendered and paid in full.
She gave me the Washington rules and laws along with what
Belinda sent me.
If they don't comply or if the records appeared tampered with
to file a complaint with them.
Something doesn't feel right about this. I think they aren't
being honest with me on what happened to Dukee. Then charge the amount they
did.
God, I will be so upset if this is the case and will file a
lawsuit against them.

Hi there,

I am in Texas. This is my vet's statement on medical records:

http://www.staroftexasvet.com/pages/6/index.htm

This is not because he will not release copies - he is explaining why a
person may or may not be able to obtain copies from their previous vet.

The emergency hospital here gives me copies of EVERYTHING when I
pay/checkout, including the notes they take when they check on the
animals. It is pretty cool, I wish everyone did
that.

Re: Vet Records/Morbid question




My husband thinks Dukee died the same day he had the surgery 
and they wanted to make the bucks for having him over the 
weekend.
He is using some curse words right now. Not a happy 
camper.
I just told him about my experience with the Vet trying to get 
copies.
Normally, don't tell him everything unless there is a 
need.
Didn't want to start anything.

I have a question and probably morbid:
Is there anyway they can find out how longpet has 
been dead before they are returned back to their owners.
I know they can on humans.
What I think is funny is that he was put in a Science Diet box 
and it was tape very well. You would have to use a knife to open it. I didn't 
open the box to look at him really didn't want to see him that way. I wanted to 
remember as he was. Maybe I should have.

Re: Dukee has went to the Bridge... :( Terrie

Gina,
Thank you for your caring thoughts!
I take everything seriously when a kitty is ill even if I don't
know what I'm doing sometimes. I have been known to be astrong person and
hold my own. This time I couldn't do it. It must be my age as I grow older
getting softer. Normally, I'm hard as nails.
Yes, Dukee was a very brave and loving soul. He will be missed
greatly by his furfamily and us.
He did fight to live but guess it was too overwhelming for
him.
We buried him next to his buddy Sam. Said prayers and put a
copy of the Rainbow Bridge with him as I have done with allof mypet
losses in the past. So everyone has their poem with them.
I have candles going on right now that are scented Baby Powder.

Which was his favorite to smell believe it or not.

SAMe (Denosyl) for Dukee

2006-10-29 Thread TatorBunz




I have a question: 
How do I give Dukee SAMe (Denosyl) when he comes home when he 
is on a feeding tube? I noticed it came in tablet form on my 
research.
One thing I did noticed on him when I popped the cans of wet 
food for the cats he still came in and took a few licks of the food but not 
enough. 
He has always done this.
So when I feed the others when he gets home he will hear this. 
So how do I refrain him from eating their food if he is on a special 
diet?
Will he be able to eat their food on top of his 
food?
I also feed my cats snacks?Dukee knows 
it!

Sorry for stupid questions but gotta ask!
Boy, I know I'm going to have questions for you guys on this 
tube feeding. 
I don't want to be overwhelmed when the Vet hits me with this I 
want some firsthand knowledge from you guys. So it's preparing myself and my 
family. I certainly don't want them doing anything to jeopardize his health even 
though it wouldn't be intentional.
I have never done it before! Yikes!

We all support whatever decisions that you, your husband and Dukee
pursue. Please keep us informed as best you can. Many blessings

have decided to go forward and have the tube put in Dukee of course with help
from a "Good Hearted Member" of this group.

If all goes well he will have it done in the
morning.
I have high hopes that he does well...I'm praying anyway.

I do have to admit I'm a little skiddish putting a kitty
under even though it won't be for long. Because of what happen to
Taz.
Thank you all for your support on this it means a lot to

Now, I gotta get some much needed rest and check on
Dukee!

UPDATE:Dukee 10/28/06

Dukee is at the clinic as we speak.
Believe me I rushed him A.S.A.P. when I got the call
back.
Please pray for him and send him positive
energy!

"I had one of the Techs tell me also that he may not make it.
That I needed to think quality verses quantity on him that I should put the
money on the kitties that may need it. I told her we had thought of
that."
That is he does have FIP at least we are trying to help
others.
At this point I don't care!
I'm having a hard time to compose my self. My heart is breaking
and trying to keep from crying is one of the hardest things to do especially in
the public eye and at home.

For those of you that don't know about my Taz go to his link
below under Pet Memorial. You will see why I'm skiddish about any kitty being
put under.

Dukeedeserves this since he has been fighting to stay
alive this long.
I thinkthe Techrealized what she says to me doesn't
make a damn to me and to you guys. If he does make it I will be overjoyed but if
not it will be part of a learning lesson for those of us on the list. I will get
all records and any information to help others.
The Veterinarian will do a panel and the tube inserting along
with medicated intravenous feeding.
They will keep Dukee over the weekend in which I'm not
surprised I expected it.

Can you guys tell me how you feel on the FIP
vaccination?
I know my reputable breeder friends are against the
vaccination.
Iwould like your out take on this.
Thanks!

If someone has a sick child who needs very expensive medical care, would
anyone tell them that the same amount of money could save 30 children dying of
malaria in another country (which is probably true)? By her reasoning,
no one should ever get expensive medical care for themselves, their kids, or
their animals, because the same amount of money could always be used to buy
simpler, cheaper life-saving care for other humans or animals in other
places. There is of course logic to it. But love has its own
logic, and the truth is that no matter what we do we can not save
everyone.

So it is good that the tech saves many animals over a few, in her own
life, I guess. But it is nonsensical, as well as inappropriate and
ineffective, for her to try to convince you to do the same. While she
may save many, she obviously has never loved one in quite the way the way that
we have, in a way that explodes logic and just creates a fierce need to
protect them and maintain their life and happiness.

If she tries to say anything to you again, tell her you have different
priorities than her, and a lot of love for your individual animals.

Dukee...he is awake!




Okay all,
Dukee made through he is sitting up. 
They will be feeding him through the tube in just a bit. They said he is alert 
and looking around. He will remain on the IVs until Monday with meds flowing 
through. They will call me if anything changes on him. As I will call to check 
on him through out the evening.
To be honest I didn't think he would be strong enough to make 
it through because of him being so weak. 
I'm thrilled right now...he does have the fight left in him 
tomake through this part and hope he continues on. 
Please continue with your prayers and positive energy it is 
working for him. Bless You All!
Especially his guardian Angel that helped him have the 
surgery!
(He knows your helping 
him)

He is agitated.
He prefers the coolness as well for whatever

Dukee is still with us. 
My eyeballs hurt and I'm exhausted. I'm not a young kit 
anymore. Used to be able to do all-nighters with kitties when they were 
ill.
I have been cat napping all night in here with him and the 
other cats.
I can tell you he wants to go and hide in dark places prefers 
to lay on cold areas. He is still alert.
I told my husband last night that I would sendDukee to 
the bridge. 
He ask me a hell of a question like 
"Does he have to go? Can we let him die at 
home?"
So for obvious reasons that makes me feel like crap... 
:(
Should I let Dukee hang out or should I take him to the 
Vet?
Just asking for your opinions on this.

Dukee's Appt with new Vet




Okay, I'm taking Dukee to a new Vet at 12:30 pm today. 

She will examine him to see what else may be going on. 

She will not euthanized him unless in dire need. She has 
requested the records from the Vet that seen him, before any decision is made. 

So the records will be sent by fax to her. 
The Vet that diagnosed him wants $36.00 up front for 
euthanization.
I'm not trying to hang on to him or be selfish 
either.
But I thinkwe should have another opinion on 
this.
He is still eating some and drinking as of very early this 
morning. 
I'm going to put fresh food out to see if he is going to eat 
more.
He is still weak

UPDATE:Dukee's Vet Appt

Okay all here is the news!
Just got home awhile agoyes I do have him
home.
At least now we have something to go on but not much
better.
He has Liver failure and very jaundice.
This Vet did a thorough work-up on him.
She said at this point because of his color she didn't need to
take blood from him the fact that he is anemic. He has a fever of 101 which
means it's down from 103.8
He has lost more weight. He was 8 pounds and now is 7.4
pounds.
She also said he has lost all of his muscle
mass.
She did say that he did need to be fed by a tube. Since force
feeding will not work because it may make him sick.
She said there aren't any guarantees that this would work on
feeding him through the tube because of the liver damage. The fact is he has fat
on it.
There was an ultra-sound done it showed his liver
damage.
I would do this in a heart beat if I could afford it just give
him a chance.
We don't have any credit cards. We just don't have the funds to
help him this little guy. Time is very critical here.
So he will remain here and live his time out for however time
he has left.
When I see the pain and the horrible cry he will be taken in
A.S.A.P.
So we don't know how long he has...will try to make him
comfortable.
I have included the estimate of what it would cost through
her.
Would this be the norm?

Re: UPDATE:Dukee's Vet Appt

She said that because of the percentage being high on the
Titers that it is probable having FIP. That the liver damage is a cause of
FIP.
She did take a sample of his blood and sent it out.

At this point it wouldn't make any difference on his
results.
But warned me that she is siding with FIP on this. He has too
much damage in such a short amount of time and the fact he is very jaundiced. As
I stated she did ultra sounds and I forgot to add that he had xrays done as
well.
She could feel his some of his organs. They were
swollen.
I know I'm not giving the information you would like to hear.

If he has the tube in him he will get a complete workup done on
him Vet made a point of saying that to me.
My husband isn't home yet I will ask him if we have the funds
to do so.
He will probably crap his pants since we just recently paid off
the original Taz's medical bills. ($5000.00)
Vet's office doesn't have a payment plan.
But he is a cat lover and does love Dukee. I guess I will wait
an see if we can do this.
I'm frustrated as well and very tired.
I just want to do what's best for Dukee and make him
comfortable.

end (he had FIP)..– and Garfunkle had a liver damage which could have been
treatable if I had known it sooner.. the cost seems to be pretty
reasonable, actually – but if he is jaundiced, he needs to get all toxins out
ideally via IV fluid so that it can get all toxins out –and he will feel
better.. can the vet accept any payment plans from you guys? At least,
you will need to give him some fluid – when liver is not working well, he will
start collecting toxins and make them feel sicker and wants to throw up.. can
you give him a fluid at

  We Are Seven
  William Wordsworth
  
  --A Simple Child,That lightly draws its breath,And feels its 
  life in every limb,What should it know of death?I met a little 
  cottage Girl:She was eight years old, she said;Her hair was thick with 
  many a curlThat clustered round her head.She had a rustic, 
  woodland air,And she was wildly clad:Her eyes were fair, and very 
  fair;--Her beauty made me glad."Sisters and brothers, little 
  Maid,How many may you be?""How many? Seven in all," she saidAnd 
  wondering looked at me."And where are they? I pray you tell."She 
  answered, "Seven are we;And two of us at Conway dwell,And two are gone 
  to sea."Two of us in the church-yard lie,My sister and my 
  brother;And, in the church-yard cottage, IDwell near them with my 
  mother.""You say that two at Conway dwell,And two are gone to 
  sea,Yet ye are seven!--I pray you tell,Sweet Maid, how this may 
  be."Then did the little Maid reply,"Seven boys and girls are 
  we;Two of us in the church-yard lie,Beneath the church-yard 
  tree.""You run about, my little Maid,Your limbs they are 
  alive;If two are in the church-yard laid,Then ye are only 
  five.""Their graves are green, they may be seen,"The little Maid 
  replied,"Twelve steps or more from my mother's door,And they are side 
  by side."My stockings there I often knit,My kerchief there I 
  hem;And there upon the ground I sit,And sing a song to 
  them."And often after sunset, Sir,When it is light and fair,I 
  take my little porringer,And eat my supper there."The first that 
  died was sister Jane;In bed she moaning lay,Till God released her of 
  her pain;And then she went away."So in the church-yard she was 
  laid;And, when the grass was dry,Together round her grave we 
  played,My brother John and I."And when the ground was white with 
  snow,And I could run and slide,My brother John was forced to 
  go,And he lies by her side.""How many are you, then," said 
  I,"If they two are in heaven?"Quick was the little Maid's reply,"O 
  Master! we are seven.""But they are dead; those two are dead!Their 
  spirits are in heaven!"'Twas throwing words away; for stillThe little 
  Maid would have her will,And said, "Nay, we are

Okay, I have decided to go forward and have the tube put in 
Dukee of course with help from a "Good Hearted Member" of this group. 

God Bless You!
My husband stated that he deserves the chance after we had a 
long discussion.
If all goes well he will have it done in the 
morning.
I have high hopes that he does well...I'm praying anyway. 

I do have to admit I'm a little skiddish putting a kitty under 
even though it won't be for long. Because of what happen to 
Taz.
Thank you all for your support on this it means a lot to 
me!
Now, I gotta get some much needed rest and check on

Losing Dukee...... :(




As I sit here I'm crying my eyes out having problems typing 
this to you all. My husband keeps checking on us see how we are doing. We are in 
my computer room with his best buddy "Vinnie". 
I have soft lights, food and water along with their beds in 
here.

Can anyone tell me what tranquilizer to give to help him to the 
Rainbow Bridge? Otherwise I will wait until early morning to let him 
go.
So this will be a long night for me.

He is crying and very weak. He has never been one to cry. He is 
such a good boy just like my original Taz. Poor guys have never done anything 
wrong in their lives. God they are about the same age too when it was 
time.
God this is so heartbreaking!
I have given him his doses of his meds and the Interferon 
nothing is working for him. Force feeding isn't a option here because I don't 
want him throwing up what little he has eaten.. I have given him everything I 
can possibly think of even cans of Tuna with juice.

Re: Losing Dukee...... :(




I would like to add that he is starting to breathe harder as 
well.
I held him a few minutes ago felt him all over. He has no tummy 
and I don't hear any rattling in his lungs. I don't feel any tumors or anything 
out of the ordinary.
I think it is his heart since I did mention he hada heart 
murmur. 
I have also included another kitty with us which is Buggy my LH 
Torti PT. She was like his mom when he was a baby. 
She is washing him right now as I type 
this.
I have told Dukee that if he wants to go it is okay and if I 
have to I will help him go to the bridge.
I will be close by to my computer so I can do my business and 
read emails from those of you that are still up.
I willstay in the room tonight with Dukee along with

Angels and friends that are hovering near, waiting anxiously to greet
them. I talk about the joy and celebration that awaits, how soon there
will be no more pain, no more discomfort, no more fear. How soon they
will leave their beautiful body behind, to venture on an incredible
adventure. I tell them how much their earth bound family will miss them,
but how they won't miss us. They won't miss us because we will always be
connected, because we will love each other forever, and even though I'll only
be able to see them in my dreams and memories, they'll be able to see me
whenever they like. I close my eyes and "see" them whole and free,
chasing butterflies with my loved ones that have already passed. I ask
them to see it with me, to know that they are going to a beautiful place full
of loving friends. I talk about the first time I laid eyes on them,
favorite memories, about how those moments will exist in my heart and keep me
company until we can be together again. Of course all this is said
through a flood of tears, but still, it brings a smile of comfort to my face,
because I believe in my heart that all this is
true.Nina

Re: Losing Dukee...... :( Nina






Thank you
Yes, I seen the messages that's okay. Rudy my Siamese does that 
to me sometimes.

The answer is yes Hideyo he was given the Interferon by my best 
friend that is a Vet Tech. She is familiar with it.
There isdamage to his system I guess was too late for it 
to work.
He is slowly leaving us. He doesn't want to be touched by me or 
his family of kitties. I have noticed to he is limping on the left rear leg. 

That's unlike him so that tells me he isn't happy. 

When in general he is a happy kitty.

My girlfriend was close by so I ask her to help me on this. She 
said she would be more than glad to help in this matter on giving Dukee his 
Interferon treatments.
She is also retired Manager and Vet Tech of a huge animal 
clinic.
I have a lot of confidence in her. She is always rescuing 
animals. 
She has a heart of gold. She has animals that are throw-aways 
from humans. Many that have special needs. 
She is familiar with Interferon, that is why I trusted her in 
helping me on this since I didn't have any experience with it. She doesn't have 
access to it like you do Hideyo. She also said thank you for what you do as 
well.

Dukee's tests....Hideyo...Appreciate your input and help on this!

2006-10-23 Thread TatorBunz

Hi Hideyo and everyone,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've been trying to
gather more information up about this and working to make a little
money.
I spent an hour with a couple of Vet Techs at the Vets office
today. They in fact called the lab (Phoenix Central Laboratory) up to get more
information on the testing. They ask what his level was they said it might not
be FIP then it could be. There was no clear answer on this. So the Vet Techs got
out some new Vet books that have been published in the last year they are going
to put some literature together to give me.
Dukee continues to eat and drink water. He is using the litter
box.
He hasn't thrown up only the one time I saw it. He is still
purring. He isn't playing not even acknowledging catnip in which is his
favorite.

I did find out what tests were ran on the blood they took. This
is the results but it's not what I wanted to see. I had thought he had a
total blood work up. I'm not taking him back outside and stressed him out
more.

TEST NAMES

Test Name: Feline Viral II
Negative
Test performed by Elisa
*There is no antibody test to date that differentiates between
infected and vaccinated cats.
*Vaccinated cats will have positive antibody responses
indistinguishable from that of infected cats for at least 1 year post
vaccination.

FeLV ELISA
Negative

FIP SCREEN:
TITER IS 1:6400 or greater
Interpretation:
Positive titers are not diagnostic for FIP.
Although FIP titers greater than or equal to 1:6400 are more
often associated with clinical FIP, titers less than 1:6400 and negative titers
do not rule it out.
(Negative 1:100)

Please do send me some!
I have never used this before so I'm blinded by this. I'm not
ready tolose Dukee.
Vinnie is doing better. Which I'm glad to say your prayers are
helping.
I will agree with you all on this so-calleddiagnosis of
FIP.
Which I don't think he has. He doesn't show any of the classic
signs of it.
What do you need as for payment for this Infereron? Where can I
order some? Can I purchase from you? How do I give it to him? Is this by mouth
or by IV?
Sorry for all the questions.
Pardon the _expression_ I'm just scared sh*tless over
this.
I've never had anything like this happen in all the years (30)
in rescue.

Belinda,
Can you put Dukee and Vinnie on the special list for
prayers.
As you guys know I have more cats in my home. Total cats
residing is 10
so this is devastating news for us.
Well it's not good on Dukee. He has lost so much weight it's
unreal.
His appetite is decreasing and water intake as well.

He continues to go downward.
His results are back hehas testedvery high for
FIP
My Vet is so sorry to tell me this. He is a good man as he has
lost some of his own personal kitties to this horrible disease as
well.
He said to give him lots of good food and love.

He does "Not" euthanize kitties unless it's permitted by the
caregivers.
Dukee is being distant with us but when we sit with him he is
still purring.
All he wants to do is sleep.
I have told my Vet that when I see he is uncomfortable I will
bring him and let him go to the Rainbow-Bridge.
He said he tested negative for Felv/Fiv
I will get the lab results in a bit and post to you guys so you
can read it.
My Vet has told me to treat all as if they are
FIP
God almighty this is just horrible!
Vinnie goes in a bit...he appears to be doing well in the last
24 hours.

First Dukee,
Dukee has a heart murmur grade 4my Vet also specializes
in Cardiology. He took blood will know the results tomorrow afternoon. Dukee
has a fever of 103.8
I had a total blood panel done on him. This was sent out not
done on site.
Even though he has tested negative in the past it doesn't
mean he can't get the Felv/Fiv virus as he indicated. He said when they get
ill they can show the symptoms of this and it can also be in their bone
marrow. So he sent home some Amoxi drops to give him for the fever. However he
is eating some and drinking some water. I gave him some snacks in which he ate
some. My Vet is hopeful that it may not be the horrible Felv/Fiv but he says
you never know. He also said FIP is on the rise that he has seen a lot of it
recently by prior patients that have died. Their owners had the necropsy
done.

Secondly Vinnie is has been throwing up and has diarrhea his
stomach is like it is full and hard. He is aware of his surroundings and very
loving. Still eating and drinking. I'm not able to get him into the Vet until
Saturday morning. If I have to I will take him to ER in dire
need.
He is 6 yrs old and my husband's baby. My husband doesn't
know any of the news yet pertaining to the cats. He will be devastated on
Vinnie if there is anything wrong. He knows Vinnie has thrown up some. As much
as I hate to say but I always hope that my husbandgoes first before his
Vinnie. This man is extremely close to this cat. I don't want either one of
them to go but I'm speaking of reality. Afraid husband will clam up if you
know what I mean.

"Vinnie is also in the photo contest. If you like I can send
a photo of him and Dukee if you like to see them. Send me an email I would
love to send their photos to you!"

Since, I'm the caregiver/companion of the cats I pay
attention of what goes on around them whether it's eating, drinking, playing,
or sleeping, using the litter-boxes, and plus all their bad or good
habits.

I don't think I can handle more bad news at this time. With
the recent loss of my Sam and my daughter's kitty Gutt. With my move home
being damaged on the new property and my husband being sick on top of it.

My husband has Liver Failure and Hep Che recently had
shoulder surgery back in July had complications from that as well. He is doing
better will return back to work on the first of Nov. That is great news for
me. We will have stable income coming in.
My rescue has been put on hold as hard it has been hard on me
not being able to help all the Siamese needing homes.

Sorry so long but needed to vent/shed a few
tearsabit in hopes to make myself feel better so when my husband
comes home from helping his friends working on a truck...I can talk to him
without losing it.
Thank you for hearing me outyou guys are awesome and the

So please send good vibes our way in hopes Dukee and Vinnie
are alright.

He uses this term on URI's as well.
Use with caution and don't bring others into the 
home.
Quarantine kitties inside. (which mine don't go 
outside)
Give good diets.
Clean litter boxes
Keep everything sanitized is what he said.
He said he figures Dukee had been expose when he was a baby 
before I rescued him. Then when his heart started acting up this was a start of 
everything. Suppressed Immune system.
Vetis really sympathetic on this.

This is which I do anyway. I clean house every 2 days with 
bleach when mopping floors. I scoop litter boxes several times a day. Dump every 
2 days.
The test results indicate high titers in which is possible for 
FIP
I will pick up results when I leave in a bit.

I'm thrilled to hear this!
Wow, this totally amazing...yes had tears flowing when I have 
read the emails that both have been found!
I didn't get to hear or see the newsstory even though I 
do get the channels on direct TV. Did anyone video-tape this? 

I had some distractions outside last night...wildlife was 
hungry.
This is one time we can all cry for joy and happiness for a 
good reason!

Yes, I agree call forms of communications in your area Shelters

Especially since they are microchipped and do call the company list them as

Sherry,
My heart goes all out to you for what 
you do. I'm so sorry to hear about Katarina. I have a personal kitty that is a 
Torti she is my baby. 
I can't imagine at this time on how I would feel if I lost her. 
She is a rescue herself. I got her when she was barely 4-5 weeks old. She is now 
4 yrs old. 
Myself, being a rescue sure I deal with a lot of cats but not 
the load of having Felv/Fiv kitties. God it's gotta be tough to be so close to 
all the kitties that you deal with on a regular basics. I tip my hat to you for 
what you do. Bless you for being there for the kitties.
There is a special place in heaven waiting for you when the 
time comes. All the furangels will come flying to you with happiness and 
love.

Hideyo,
I'm so sorry my heart aches for you. Please believe you did
everything within reason for Tsubomi. She knows how much you loved her and she
loved you as well.
Yes, the shock of it will come soon.
That's the worst part when reality sets in.
Please take care of yourself and get some much needed rest.
Your other furbabies will need you to be strong for them
too.
Please accept my condolences in your loss.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know

to do things she wanted to do and now transited to a place where she had a

in my arms – felk is such a scary disease – everything happened so quickly,
before last Friday, she was acting just fine – but I wish I had paid a little
more attention to her little signs though ---

Again, thank you all for all the
prayers and encouragement – I and Tsubomi will be forever connected with our

Re: OT: Photo contest Terrie's Siamese/Recent Rescue






Thank you so much for saying that.
It hasn't been the same since losing them.
I miss both Sam and Ling. Sam was only 2 yrs old and Ling was 
16 yrs old.
Both Tazzy and Vinnie are still with me. They are spoiled but 
in a good way. 
I do have other Siamese but couldn't get them to stay on the 
couch.

P.S.
I want to add that I rescued a 17 and a half yr old Sealpoint 
male.
The family was movingg 
They had this guy since he was a kitten. This really irks me 
something fierce. This is one of the reasons why I don't like people in 
general.
I knew darn well nobody would adopt him because of his age. 

So I took him home and he will live his time out with 
me.
He has became my granddaughter's kitty. He sleeps with her 
every night on her pillow.
