Hi Julia,
I'm very pleased to hear you had a visit from Samantha. I'm sure the
new kitty will love you, even if she's not able to show it right off.
Animals know more about what's going on than most people give them
credit for and this kitty is probably upset about losing her human and
home,
Elizabeth, Chris and Wendy,
Thanks so much for the encouragement and prayers. I've always felt
like the ferals in my care are just as much a part of my family as the
animals in my house. We all have a connection and they trust me as far
as their circumstances will allow them to. I talked to
Julia,
I'm glad to hear that Samantha sent you a message. I
know it makes you feel better. I hope you are feeling
better since Samantha passed. Good luck with the new
kitty tomorrow. Let us know how the 'visitation'
goes.
:)

Nina,
Prayers going out for Ceasar. I hope this is
something that some meds and a little TLC can fix.
Will he allow you to medicate him do you think, since
he's so weak?
:)

Geez, can you say control freak?! lol. I can't

LOL. Sorry. I just can't understand that type of

Prayers going up for you and Caesar, Nina.
Last year I caught the most pitiful Tom and took him to the vet. He
looked terrible. He had large abscesses on both sides of his face,
terrible sores, his ears were shredded. What fur he did have was matted
beyond belief and he had no fur on
Hi, y'all :)

How great of you to have such concern over a cat that too many people would

painful death and even if the result tomorrow is grim, you will have spared
him that and shown him the love he needs now more than ever. Caesar is
You guys all know I caretake a couple of small colonies of ferals. You

Just a thought, but perhaps peat moss might work. It would track pretty bad
though. I was just spreading some in the flowerbeds today, man, the ferals LOVE
to poo in it! Anyways, it's a thought. Not sure how toxic peat moss is to cats,
but it can't be too bad, my ferals are fine, and they poo
You know, I am wondering now if Lucy is actually allergic/sensitive to all

I think you are right about this. Quincy has used pine litter for years
with no problem, and Lucy seems to have (though it could be coincidental) gotten
a flare-up of her IBD just from using it for a few days.

Thank you for posting this - very interesting article.
I too, was wondering about pine litter because Mama Kitty's favorite
parlor spot is digging a deep hole in the pine mulch I've put around trees and
in flower beds. She's there briefly though and goes to great lengths to

One thing that strikes me about everybody I've seen post on here that I

Ain't it the truth!! I had the same experience with one of these

Kerry, I do think Ginger's reaction is rare. So you might want to wait and

I don't think fluids from yesterday would be in his leg today unless he has

I'm sorry he is doing badly again. I would guess rheumatoid arthritis

better when he gets dex shots? Polyarthritis would.

I have used it for years with Quincy, and have liked it (very little odor,
easy to clean, environmental). However, Lucy, who has IBD, had a flare-up
