Susan, I absolutely LOVE Percy!!!! [As a "name"] And you are so right w/ your comment about Percy having many other names!!! I know, with my own purr-sonal experiences, both at home & at shelter, all babies have their own purr-sonal list of names we go by..................And what's absolutely amazing, and awesome, they all seem to respond to "their name at that specific moment"..... They are so ever smart & perspective....... When people stop by house & inquire about their names, I, of course, reel out the whole list for each one!!! Of course, never fails, I get "that look" & tons of questions, mostly like "why" Fluffy or Tom wouldn't suffice.... Guess you must be a genuine critter person to understand, huh? [ Or, A CRAZY CAT LADY, which I've also been called...... NEVER to my face though. Go figure! ] Looks like you will have to put more dishes out...... I'm with you on that thought, 'as long as they're eating!' Even my ferals got Evo.....No complaints there..... But, w/ my dear, ancient Puma, those Elegant Medleys from Fancy Feast, I really believe they certainly saved, at least, really helped my boy along. Along w. meat baby food, & "people tuna!!!! And, I was able to add supplements, so we all were happy..... I too, absolutely love those big-headed FIV boys!!!! And, I swear, w/ all my years in rescue, B-I-G FIV+ boys hold a special place in my heart!!!! They're such LOVE MUFFINS!!! And, sadly. due to lack of adequate information available, too often overlooked!!!!!! Til the day I die, I will always believe "EDUCATION IS THE KEY!!!!" Need [many] more people out there at least "attempting" to educate!!! Prior to my MVA, I made a point to get out no less than 1X week to do what I could.... handing out brochures, pamphlets, etc. at a local [major] pet shoppe, one who would not sell companion animals, but rather encouraged adoptions from shelters!!!! (In fact, several times a year, they engaged in "employee incentive" programs. and, our shelter benefited, VERY nicely I must add, from their employee incentive programs...) Oh, I've rambled again..... Much love to your [very fortunate] Percy and the rest of your babies.......And, blessings for all the work you've done.......I pray that you can continue for a VERY LONG time..... [I'm just fortunate I had been able to do so much prior to my MVA....] One must always remember that sometimes life isn't a bed of roses..... It can, and sadly does, throw some pretty mean curves along the path.... Never take any day for granted....One NEVER knows what the future holds.... Words from a woman who knows only TOO well....................... Hugs,
Patti & her gang ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
