Tigger passed very suddenly, from what we believe to be a feline heart issue
He has been playing that morning, being silly as usual, not wanting me to go to
work, as usual
When i came home, he was gone
you probably had the SNAP done
wait a few weeks, then do the IFA
and remember, that they can live very rich lives, being just as loving (more
so, in my opinion), and being silly.
Bless you for taking this little one in
John

Hi John!
Thanks so much for your quick reply....wow, you had 6 cats all in the house??
That would be heaven for me:))) My husband is NOT a cat lover, so he was not
particularly happy stepping in the poop today:(
I'm thinking we were chasing the kids in the house at about the time she left
her mess. Maybe she was scared and it justall ran out?? I hate to keep her in
the basement now, but I don't want any "surprises" during the night. She does
have plenty of blankets down there with her food and two litter boxes.
I do not know what test she was given. If it's not too difficult for you to
discuss, could you tell me how your Tigger's health deteriorated towards the
end? So I might know what signs to look for....
Hope your other kitties are healthy:)
Thanks again for your time!
Tricia

My Tigger lived 1 month shy of 5 years with FeLV
He had his ups and downs, as we all do
He lived with 6 housemates...NONE are positive!!
As far as the stool, cats get it like we do. may have eaten something that
disagreed with him
What test was done. Snap or other??
With Snap, if he's been exposed, it will be postitve, other (ELSA??) is more
through, and can tell if he actually has it
I wish you the best
FeLV kitties can be the most loving of all, as Tigger was
John

Subject: [Felvtalk] stray cat I took in has feline leukemia
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me....
We live in the country and have about 8 outside cats. A friend decided to
take one home, Pumpkin, and had her all fixed up at the vet with shots, spay
and declaw. She found out she has feline leukemia. She kept her for about a
month, but I guess she was making a mess as far as using the litter box. I
told her I didn't want her to go to an over crowded humane society, so I took
her back. She is now in the house, as she is front declawed, and she is not to
be around the other cats with her cancer.
So... I've had her home since just before Christmas, and she's been fine other
than not eating a whole lot. Her stool is quiet soft, and I did find a few
hard turds in two different sleeping places that she uses. Well now today,
she had a ver messy stool on the wood floor in the hallway!! Really shocked me
as she's been so good using the littler box.
Is this a sign that she is getting sick, the not using the littler box? She
has a prescription for Tylosin Tartrate, and she said to give this to
her(powder form), when/if she gets sick???
She does seems to sleep most of the day, but I know cats do do that:) She also
does purr quite loud!! Must be a good sign. She will play with a string too.
So she's been very happy, but now I had to resort to putting her back in the
basement with her food and litter. I might end up sleeping down there with
her again, as I did when she first came in thehouse. She has had the run of
the house now for weeks, but I just don't trust her since her accident.
I've read where infected cats can live quite long, but yet others do not. I
certainly would not want to put her thru all sorts of treatments...
Thank you for your time:)))
I appreciate any input for my Pumpkin!
Tricia
