As always, I send my condolences to everyone who has lost a beloved kitty. My beloved foster cat, Kitty, who went to her new home a few weeks ago, while being treated at the same time for diarrhea, has had a recurrence of the same symptoms, and I'm worried about her. Here's what her new mom says: "She is vomiting clear liquid, not eating as much and there was a small amt of blood in her stool this morning too.  I talked with Robin (from PAWS) and she said the thing that worried her the most was the lack of appetite.  I called my vet and she said the same thing, we're going to go in on Thurs AM and run the full gamet of tests- just to be on the safe side.  Although, Robin mentioned this was the same type of symptoms she had before with you. True?   The Vet wasn't worried so much and thought the Thursday time was fine enough unless things seem to worsen.  like I said she's still hydrated, I've seen her drink and she's been playing." Does anyone have any idea what these symptoms may mean? She did have all those symptoms while with me (I rushed her to the vet). Also, can someone confirm what I believe to be the case: that it's unsafe for a cat to go even one day without eating. Kitty was very hard to assist feed, and I'm afraid that her new mom may not realize how very important it is to get food inside her (it doesn't seem like the vet paid much attention to the lack of appetite and associated danger in letting it go on). I want to email her mom, but back it up with facts, and what the consequences of Kitty not eating can/will be. Grateful for any information that i can pass on. Kerry M.     IRS CIRCULAR 230 NOTICE.
