Wondering.... particularly all you folks who have multiple cats at
home..... I have one reasonably healthy FeLV guy weighing in at 10 lbs
and the other guy is a bit of a twerp at 6.2lbs as well as not having a
lot of energy due his pain and poor vision...... the healthier guy is
a maniac and just wants to have fun...which involved periodically
throughout the day trying to get my other guy to play by attacking
him..... Yogi.. can't see well and only is able to avoid him by getting
away after he is "jumped".... Aside from my worry about Yogi's eye
getting further injured I am feeling badly for my other guy who I had
gotten the second cat specifically SO he would have a play buddy......
They had SO much fun when Yogi was well but now the other guy doesn't(
obviously) understand that Yogi can't really play...... Jelly ( the big
guy) is often bored and now getting into everything to burn off
energy..... I play with him a LOT but he's just a very energetic
cat....... I've been thinking of taking in a third shelter cat with
FeLV that I know is pretty healthy at this time
( though for fiscal reasons I would foster this time) and has been since
she was a Kitten in the hopes that ( given she is the same size as
Jelly) they might be a play match and leave Yogi alone..... I've never
had three young cats in the house at the same time and wondering if any
of you have an opinion as to the likelihood of the Healthier ones Play
bonding and leaving the sicker one in peace OR will they gang up on the
weaker guy...... The little guy is due to go to a Veterinary
Opthalmologist tomorrow for a determination as to if his eye can be
saved since his weakened condition puts him at high risk for the
surgery.... I want to give him every chance to survive ( comfortably)
and decided that ( despite my desire to avoid specialist charges) I
stand the best chance of getting a good opinion from a vet that really
knows eyes ( most don't appear to beyond the usually seen stuff....often
including Corneal Ulcers...BUT...my guy now has some kind of growth
forming on the cornea at it's intersection with the Sclera... that looks
almost like a large pimple and it's getting larger.... thoughts
welcome...

Subject: [Felvtalk] Lost Hodor
We lost Hodor yesterday. It was extremely hard. He stopped eating and
drinking. The vet had a hard time finding a vein for the catheter
because of his anemia. It was so sad. Thank you all for your kind
words and support. I wish that the vets could have done more to help
him. FeLV sucks.
