Hi All,   I've been reading through this list, lots of great information!  Been trying to chime in but having trouble keeping up with the fast pace lately, you are all very chatty :)  Anyway, Laura, my FeLV + kitty is doing wonderfully.  She had several days of loose stool, a few weeks back and

I agree with you 100% Laura. If she's enjoying her food that much she must be feeling good and if she gets fat so what. We wouldn't want to stress or upset her by taking away food. A far worse problem is trying to force feed them when they're wasting away. Lynne - Original Message

My Tucson is a big cat but still a bit on the heavy side but you know, if she doesn't feel well, she instantly stops eating... Not only does it give me a signal something's wrong but that extra weight gives us a bit of time to figure out what's going on. Of course, she's a bit of a fusspot and

yeah, i'd much rather have a slightly plumb FeLV than a scrawny one.. that's an excellent point, too, chris, about being able to see the change more easily when she DOES stop eating On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 11:37 AM, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My Tucson is a big cat but still a bit

Hi Laura I have to agree with Sharyl. I kept Junior a bit on the chunky side for the same reason. He went from a low weight of 10.5 pounds after being DX'd to about 12.5 pounds which was a little above his normal weight. He was still chunky when he was sent on his journey. I am glad he did not go
