Beth, your description of Blue is hilarious. I love it.

Hi Nina,
Glad to have you back online, you were missed! Haven't had enough caffeine today, what is a "GSD"? Glad to here he did well, I think Moxy will too, she's a little tuffie and absolutely lives up to her name. I've been sleeping with her on the floor every few nights when my old middle-aged joints can stand it, playing with her in the evening and allowing her supervised visits with her brothers during their quiet time. Otherwise, she has free run of the spare bedroom, we took all the furniture out and put it in the frontroom so there would be nothing to jump on and no need for a cage. Still, she's anxious to be free again. Another week and she can start coming out a bit, though we'll have to lock up our adult kitty, Blue, while Moxy is out. Blue is fascinated with the kittens but is just not getting the "play nice" thing. She was chasing them all over the house, cornering them, hissing, and slapping the poor dears. Or laying in wait on tall pieces of furniture for them to come walking by unawares, when she would drop straight down on them like a leopard from a tree. She doesn't bite, she thinks it is all a great game, but she's scaring the **** out of the babies, so I've had to start locking her up during the day for their sanity. I bought some feliway spray to try, but the only difference I can see is that she doesn't hiss at them anymore and she has an absolute look of joy on her face as she does a flying superman leap into the room, hoping to land on one :oP.
Thanks for the info. on the feline interferon, I can't afford it at this point, but will bring it up with my vet at Will's next visit for blood work (and maybe neutering, though this scares me). I don't want to offend her, but I'm going to ask if she will refer him to an internest after the surgery, as her knowledge of this treatment is limited. The only reason I knew to push her to start him on the alpha int. was because of all the wonderful information from you folks on this site. Perhaps the FDA packet and the hard numbers from that study I found will be enough to convince her (or the internest) to try the omega.
Thanks again, and best wishes for Spencer's good days to continue through October.
Beth
