Oh Melissa! So sorry to hear about Cassidy's IFA! We keep holding out hope,
but sometimes it still comes back with bad news. :(
Glad you got a chance to practice! I hadn't thought about that, but maybe it
would be a good idea for all of us to have some "drills" to practice what we'd
do with the babies in case of a fire, a tornado, etc. I hope Angel starts
feeling better soon! Can't help you with the black lips thing, but I'm sure
someone will know.
Hang in there and give Cassidy head butts and ear scritchies from me! I hope
you hear from BF soon.
Hugs!

Bad news
Cassidys IFA came back positive. I was kind of hoping
that the Elisa was wrong, but no such luck. Im still waiting to hear back from
Best Friends as to when they want him for sure. Its kind of frustrating since
I havent heard from them in a while even though Ive sent several emails. I
know theyre busy, but Im just worried they gave up Cassidys spot since I was
being troublesome! J
Scary thing yesterday: We had a tornado warning in the afternoon, so I had a
good test run for getting all six cats into the basement. Luckily, Angel wasnt
hiding under the bed like she does in thunderstormsso I had an easy time
getting her down there. It was so eerily calm, no wind, just a sprinklevery
scary! I was so worried for the kitties. I only have two carriers, so I used
one for Cassidy (FeLV+) and one for Ashley, who is still a little sicklyloose
stools, adjusting to food, getting rid of worms, etc.
But, the funnel reported near here dissipated, so it was a relief! But, Im
glad I have some practice with getting them into the basement. Dont know what
Id do if Angel was under the bedI guess shed be fairly safe there since the
bed is so heavy that I cant even move it!
Does anyone have a cat with black lips? Ashleys are black, and they were
like that when she first went to the vet. He didnt mention anything about it,
so when he called today, I asked about the coloring. He said some cats can have
pigment thereblack-looking lips. He also advised we keep her food the same for
another week, de-worm her again after a week, and then see how her stools are
coming along before I switch food or anything. Shes eating like a horse now,
so thats good. I just hope she gains some weight! I suppose its difficult to
adjust from garbage to real cat food.
