Belinda   I know how you are feeling...I have been reading your posts about Bailey over the past few weeks and thinking how close they were to my OJ.... I have been hoping for a miracle for our kitties and I am still hoping for Bailey...And hoping that someday we will find the key to beat this thing...

He will be laying somewhere and when he gets up there is usually a little poop there, so it is still coming out of him involuntarily, he doesn't seem to have any control over it sometimes.  Anyone know what may be causing this??? Prayers are really needed, my baby is slipping away from me and I don't know what to do ... -- Belinda Happiness is being owned by cats ...
