Stan,
What a sweetheart you are! I'm praying that Jersey recovers from
whatever is causing the eating and back leg problems. We have discussed
all sorts of feeding tips to get kitties interested in food when they
don't feel well enough to eat. Let us know if you can't find them in
the archives and we'll post more about it. FelV is a devastating
diagnosis, but our angels can and do lead happy healthy lives, (although
usually shorter ones). I'm glad you found this group, keep us informed
about the two of you.

Hi Belinda,
Thanks for the information.
I am going to take Jersey to the vet tomorrow. I took him on Friday,
they kept him in the clinic for tests and the doctor called me in the
evening. I was shoked to hear he has a leukimia and could hardly catch
what she was explaining me. I am going to talk with her tomorrow
afternoon.
Now, I give Jersey some yoke and cream cheese. He rejects the diet
food from the vet. He likes margarine but I use that only to give him
some vitamins.
I cannot believe that disease is so spread in the USA. In Bulgaria,
where I come from I have never heard for cat cancer. Cats usually die
from accidents or age. I am really amazed to read that 60 million cats
in the US carry this virus. Something has to be done.
Thanks again. Keep in touch
Stan
