[Felvtalk] Preventing Stress

[Gloria]

I agree about Preventing Stress whenever we can!

I've chosen _not knowing_ for sure just because of that very thing - (stress of 
vet visits & testing) especially with the testing results being of question.

I deep massage from head to toe - he loves his belly & chest, under his 
forelegs, toes - - all over to be massaged. 

I'm convinced massaging is great therapy and apply it to all the socialized 
cat's we have.

My Buddy is kept in our guest room with plenty of interaction with the other 
cats through plexiglas window in the door we made.  He gets at least two hours 
of massages, play, hugs, etc. every night. 

I don't agree with vaccinations unless required by law.

I pray a lot! :)

(I have 15 cats I care for-all but 4 were feral-born and now "inside only" 
cats.)
