I think people claim cats kill too many songbirds. What about hawks, don't they kill songbirds? What about raccoons? Yes, my cats get a few, very few, but not as many as the bird people claim.

Re: [Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 21, Issue 6
Everyone in my area knows that if they find a sick or injured animal, bring it to Dorlis, the crazy cat lady. I even rescued a juvenile turkey vulture last fall. After I noticed him, I made a call to the bird sanctuary in St. Louis to find out what and how to do. They said give him some time and feed him. I went to a meat processing place nearby and got a 5 gallon bucket of deer trimmings every day for a bout a week. He recovered on his own, thank God, because trying to capture him would put myself and my helper in jeopardy. It seems that they bite with a mouth of razor sharp teeth and at the same time vomit which could cause severe, possibly fatal infection. I do know how to do it should I ever need to. Now to your 3 legged cat. Has he not tamed down? Every feral I have found eventually became the biggest baby, loving to sit on my lap and sleep on the bed. Took me about 8 months of letting him/her decide when to take the next step. I got bit a couple of times when I broke the rules (forgot to tap on door so he could see me coming). He felt trapped, could not flee, so latched onto my leg and bit. Margo wrote: > > >> > >>Perhaps for this issue you should look for a vet who already gives the > >>vaccine of your choice.

Re: [Felvtalk] Mixing FelV pos. & neg
My family unintentionally mixed positives and negatives. We still don't know how the virus got in. One of the positives was euthanized, which is when we discovered the virus. Seven years later, the other positive is lying across the bed looking at me. She probably has lung cancer and possibly eye cancer, but she's done so well, and I'm very grateful. Three other cats who also had a lot of exposure to the positives tested negative. As far as I know, no one was vaccinated, though my positive girl might have been. I don't think that she got anything beyond the first vax. Not even sure about the booster. If I were to mix, I'd definitely vaccinate the negs.

[Felvtalk] (no subject)
This is so sad that you can not feed outside cats Cat friends in your area need to ban together to try to get this changed. Do the city codes allow such a thing to happen or are they just deciding to do this. Post on face book to try to find some attorneys in the area that love cats that might be willing to help. Contact Alley Cat Allies or Best Friends and see if there is anything they can do to help. Good luck finding a way to try to advocate for the cats in KS and the people that care about them___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Mixing FelV pos. & neg
Hi Marcia - Lee in Texas. Fortunately we dragged our Animal Control kicking and screaming into the 21st century during the 20th century with protests against their use of a pick-up truck engine with a tube extending into a hole in the wall. The wall was part of a small room at the Animal Control facility where they would toss unwanted dogs and cats, lock the door and turn on the truck engine. Then we had to convince them to get rid of the relatively modern gas chambers which replaced the truck engine, probably prototypes of the ones Hitler used on unfortunate citizens. Finally they are doing Death By Injection (they call is EBI, euthanisia by injection). Now we have to convince them that excess animals are not criminals and should not be put to death. However, they have accepted TNR and outside cat colonies. They really had no choice. San Antonio's only major newspaper did several investigative articles on our lovely City Pound as did The Current, San Antonio's progressive newspaper which is very popular with people who have a brain. Unfortunately, we have to stand ever vigilant here because the now renamed Animal Care Services (what a joke!) goes forward with most of the humans who run it having their heads turned on backwards or in a place where the sun never shines. You would probably do well to contact Alley Cat Allies at www.alleycat.org and tell them what's going on. They might have some good advice as to how to get this latest atrocity gone in your town. Yeah, cat feeders are much more dangerous than drug users-dealers. Everyone knows that.

Hey guys(-: Marcia from Ks. Guess what the town that I live in is doing now? They are actually ticketing people who are caught feeding cats outside of their house! No kidding. This town is full of methheads and this is what they focus on. So sad.
