Thank you so much, Wendy. I remember when I first joined too -- you were one of the first people I talked to and you helped me feel so much better about everything. Thank you for being there.

Elizabeth, Prayers going out for Mama Kitty. I can't believe it's been a whole year since you joined this list. I remember when you did. And Mama Kitty has done wonderfully all that time. I hope your vet visit goes well and it's nothing serious. Whatever the problem is, hopefully you've caught in enough time to be effective in combating it. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. :) Wendy --- elizabeth trent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm worried about Mama Kitty this morning. > > She was diagnosed almost a year ago - and rebounded > very well with > Acemannan.
