I call you that "sight unseen" because how could you be anything but friends since you love cats...
I am "mama" to 12 cats. Hubby, Chubby, Fuzzy, Milo, Mickey, Jerry, Eve, Muffin, Gabby, Austin, Nosey and Nappy. Upon count I see that 6 are toms, so 6 must be gals. It might take a while to tell my story so I'll try to break it down. (I talk about cats as if they were people or my children. I hope you'll overlook it.) We started out with 5 cats when we moved to this house. We have 4 of those left. I'm pretty sure Patch went to Rainbow Bridge. My teenage daughter "rescued" two abandoned females that we thought were males to start with. Thus, the girls are Mickey and Milo. I don't understand how after all these years as a cat person, I could mistake gender but I did, so... On July 6, 2005, I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord at C1/C2. I was in the hospital for a week. Mickey and Milo waited until I got home to have their litters. The surgery had a year's recovery period (during which I didn't worry so much about cat health but my own). Otherwise, I think I would have realized that some of the cats had FeLv. Actually, it was confirmed when two kittens I had placed in other homes tested positive and the new owners decided to put them down. I have been concentrating on getting rabies shots and spaying/neutering. Since I also have MS, but am not on disability, we only have one income and it is a challenge to do what is needed for my furbabies. I am here to learn how to keep my furbabies healthier and I need to see if I can find a way to find good homes for some of them. I have much to learn and I hope I will have something to contribute as well. Have a blessed day all, Nita in NC ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
