I do not think so. The person is a guy who supposedly looks after Felk cats
possibly holistically his email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does this match your
information. Belinda who is in Siamese rescue lead me to believe he has been
checked out. I may be able to get more information tomorrow. What is the
sanctuaries name?

I am really on the fence about this. On one hand I would like to think
fate is intervening. A felk near me. He was just neutered 1.5 yo needs a home.
May have a home in IOWA I am in VA. The person in IA cannot take until May but
deals with FELV cats. I have not talked to the owner or I should say caretaker
she is not able to keep the cat until then. Right now the cat is still at the
Vet clinic. i have only spoken with a siamese rescue person who got involved bc
it is siamese. They cannot house due to teh felk. I had a part Siamese cat 4
years ago and will always miss the funny boy named
Puttyrat See my email addy. I am just too tired to talk to this lady
today. I had a root canal started Friday and my mouth still hurts. Hard to be
upbeat when I am in pain. I think the cats will be taken care of, but I kinda
would like the Siamese boy.

ps re adding another. You never know. My friend just added a third cat
to his 2 female cat, 2 male golden retriever household. Rocco has been a
perfect addition, bringing out the best in each of the other cats. The dogs are
terrified of him! Part of it, I think, is he kept Rocco isolated for quite a
while and did slow introductions (followed Pam Johnson Bennett's suggestions).
Another friend introduced a male kitten to her two old boy cats and dog. They
do mostly fine with occasional annoyance directed toward the kitten, now one
year old.
White I still had 6 cats (now only 5), I tried to introduce an older,
disabled male foster cat and then a neglected male foster kitten. My youngest
boys would have none of it. They harrassed and chased and fought with the new
one. The older boy was adopted by one friend and the kitten by another. The
kitten was accepted warmly by the 2 resident (adult male litter mate cats) in
his new home. The older boy got along with the dogs in his new home.
I think, like people, the personalities make a difference.

I know mine miss the stolen ones. Shimmer is my eldest, he is 12
now, and not too much into the antics of the young ones.
Missy is my kitty with congenital heart disease, and she self-limits
her play.
That leaves Tuffy no one really to play with when I am gone, and I
think she is lonely and confused.

I am sure mine do. After Stripes died, Squeaky kept urinating on
the paper towel roll. I would replace and he'd urinate again. The vet said it
was grief. It stopped after a couple weeks ~ dind't have this behavior before
or after. They were best pals for 15 years.
After Teddy died, I almost lost Coco. I know she was grieving for
him. They were inseparable. It was heartbreaking. She has never been like that
with another cat but is with me now.

Hi Folks,
You never know if the other cats miss a deceased cat. I figure
for the most part mine don't. I am now rethinking that. Being cats they are
subtle about their emotions. Well Right now I have 5 cats on my bed, no room
for me unless I move one. And Grey and White who shows her dislike for me more
often than not has been lovey dovey towards me. Not sure that will last but
there does seem to be a change in her behavior.
I am was not sure...contemplating taking on another felk cat who
is at a Vet Clinic not far from me. However I am not sure how the stress of
many cats would affect this cat. I am not sure how a new cat will affect my
cats. Mostly they will go OH another one.... I have not talked with the owner
yet. She has a home for it in May but cannot house the cat until that time.
Anyway, just thinking out loud. Emotionally I am not sure I can handle another
'sick' cat. I know it is a crap shoot with these guys even with the best care.
Maybe I will keep him until May.
Well I hope everyone is well and the kitties slaves as well :-)
Sally
