I am so sorry that you are experiencing this assault. It must be
so difficult and so stressful.
Our animals are often victims of what we have done to our
environment (pesticides, herbicides, chemicals etc) and
over vaccination and feeding poor quality food. It has been going on
for too many years,
and it seems that our animals are battling many more cancers and
disease, and living
shorter lives as a result.
What's happening to your kitties may have more to do with the genetics
that they
were dealt, rather than your environment or their care.

Two/three years ago, after it had been banned for use in houses, a
dealer for BK Cypress Log Homes quoted me a package that contained
arsenic treated lumber and, when I questioned him, sent me an awful
email regarding the safety of this wood and how no person would eat
it. Tennessee Log Homes had a dealer who was very unhappy when I
rejected some of his arguments re arsenic treated wood. (There is a
lot more to that story.......if you ever consider using them email me
personally and you won't consider it for long). Arsenic leaches into
the soil and poisons the plants, water etc. It is also used in some
fencing and creosote is used in RR ties that are used for landscape
timbers. Power poles and telephone poles as well as fence posts more
than a couple of years old are probably treated. They certainly
weren't removed. There are questions about the current "accepted"
treated woods. Please remember how long the arsenic treated was
considered safe. Obviously I am a tree-hugger but please, with that
many illnesses, please have it checked.
