In addition to what Michelle mentioned
already, any changes could cause stress among cats.. change of food, litter
box, change of location of food or litter box,, change of the house… you
name it….but it sound like your kitty is pretty happy… you may not
need any medications now.. but I do suggest you give her supplement to maintain
her immune systems I give my felk kitties, V-B 12, V-B complex injectables,
transfer factor, astragals (sp? – herb)… etc… From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cats get stress from confinement,
introductions of new animals, lots of strangers around, long car trips (some
cats), etc. I think I contributed to two of mine getting lymphoma by
confining them-- one in a large cage for a week when I went away because he was
beating up one of the other positives and someone was visiting to feed them
rather than staying with them and the people at the shelter told me I should
cage Buddy to keep him from terrorizing Simon all day and to make sure they both
had access to food, water, litter box, etc. Bad idea. I think that it
contributed to him getting sick. And my Josephine, who lived in a different
part of the house (could not get along with the other cats) with us and our
dogs, was hunting mice all night in our kitchen and mauling them to death so I
started locking her in a bedroom at night, which stressed her. I also, for ease
of someone feeding her when I went away for a weekend, put her back in with the
other cats for 3 days. I think that contributed to her getting lymphoma, which
happened shortly thereafter. I do not ever stress my positives with confinement
now unless really necessary-- vet visit, moving, etc. I also try not to let
people bring rowdy dogs into the house, etc. Hope that helps, Michelle In a message dated 9/6/2006 10:57:10 P.M.
