Thank you for that Edna, I really do hope that my cat can live a long & healthy life like your cat, so many people are negative nellies about being that optimistic, but I'm glad to here it does! He sounds like he had the best of his days on the lake, we let ours go out by the pool and lay around... he loves chashing frogs lately! For the first time he seems to have that spunk back...

We fed him Purina dry and some canned food (this was 20 years ago so we didn't know a lot about Feluk at the time) and he was a happy, healthy kitty up until he passed away. We found him when he was 10 and he tested positive. We kept him inside for the most part until we moved to the lake and because we were right on the water, we would let him go in the backyard while we were outside. I am sure others here have MUCH more knowledge than I do and I bow to their wisdom.
