Hey Wendy,Personally I would.

I think you may be right. I have to make her appt. to be spayed here in a sec, so I'll tell them I need the vaccination. It lasts for three years anyway, so that may be the only one I need to give her. Thanks, Wendy --- catatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Wendy, Personally I would.

Re: OT: I adopted a new kitty; looks just like Cricket
Congratulations, Wendy!I know how you feel about that felv test. Have all your cats been exposed. Or if she tested positive would you separate her???If not, I'd just get her vaccinated and not worry about the test. If she ever gets sick you can do it then. As long as she's healthy just don't worry about it!If I got another cat now I would probably test.. but it wouldn't make any difference in how I treated it. I probably would just not have it vaccinated.My first positive was vaccinated for felv because we thought she was positive for fiv, but not felv. It certainly didn't hurt anything, but it didn't help anything either.If you really don't want to know then just don't bother, but get her vaccinated because if she's negative you want her to have the vaccinations going for her.twendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys,Well, I finally went back to the shelter yesterdaymorning, while my dogs were being snip-snipped at thevets, and adopted that little black kitty that stolemy heart weekend before last.

Re: I adopted a new kitty; looks just like Cricket
Just so you'll know: Barn cats are held in high esteem in the cat world. They have the best of several worlds as long as they have a caring person around. They have food, a warm, dry place to stay, plenty of good hunting, warm hay to sleep and hide inetc. I didn't realize how admired they were until I read a book by Dawn Haymen (www.springfarmcares.org). The caretaker is for putting out good snacks and clean water and taking care of emergencies. If you would like to work on Charity's fears try spending time in the barn talking softly, taking out good snacks frequently and putting Feliway spray on you and your clothes. And look at things thru her eyes and ears. You are very big and you don't smell right (sorry--you don't smell like a cat--the Feliway will help here) and, well, you get the idea. Just the size thing is frightening. And her only contacts with people have involved being crammed in a box, dumped, loosing her kittens, being trapped and taken to the vets. There are a number of websites on feral cats. And there are lots of things you can do to at least partially socialize her so you'll know if she is healthy etc. It is so obvious that you care about her and you have done well by her. I have had two feral cats move in with me and they are totally different from house cats and totally wonderful in their own ways. I am feeding TNR several thatcome to my Mom's. People have either dumped them or they are the offspring of some that have been dumped. I wish they all had a nice warm barn and someone to care for them the way Charity does. Just spending time around them, just talking and being, makes it easier for them to realize you are not going to cause pain or kill them. Now I'm rambling..Thanks for caring about Charity. I suspect she appreciates it very much too. :))) If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Wendy~ Best wishes on your new baby! Wishing you both many years of love and happiness. And, I do believe that our departed furbabies come back to us. Do you remember me posting about my little Timothy?? He is one of the bottle babies I raised this summer. (They were dumped in a box w/ their feral mom, Charity...She got out, and my neighbor brought the babies to me. I did trap Charity, had her spayed, tested and tried to socialize her. Poor thing, she was just too frightened. However, she does stay in my barn, and does not stray far from here.) I'm rambling again Timothy is now 10 months old, and I swear he is the reincarnation of my Ethan!! (Ethan was my Felv boy who I lost to lymphosarcoma when he was only 18 months old.) Timmy is solid black, compact body with amber eyes, just like my Ethan. I noticed months ago different "mannerisms" and "looks", and it is uncanny! I adopted Thomas, his brother out in November. But Timothy will have NOTHING to do with adoption events!! He would act very "disinterested", and I even had a man comment that Timothy had found a home - MINE!! And, I guess that's true. Nina said that sometimes reincarnation happens when there is "unfinished business". And, Ethan's passing was so sudden, he had never been sick. I did expect him to live much longer, so of course, there was much that was "unfinished". Heck, we never even got to say goodbye the way I would have liked to have been able to do. I look at Timothy and I think that perhaps he REALLY IS my Ethan, come back to me in a healthy body so we can share a lifetime together. Who knows, huh? I take comfort in these things. I wish you all the best. Patti
Re: I adopted a new kitty; looks just like Cricket
Patti, Thanks so much for your thoughts. I don't think that reincarnation for animals is crazy. Humans I would have a hard time accepting, but not animals for some reason. I do remember you talking about Ethan and Timothy. It's weird how there can be so many different mannerisms for different cats. I am waiting for my little black kitty to flop down on her stomach one day and stick her legs out all the way behind her as if she were lying prone like a human. If she can just get out of heat long enough to get her little bottom out of the air... I will join you in taking comfort that Cricket might actually have come back to spend the rest of his life with me...I'll watch and wait and see... :) Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: I adopted a new kitty; looks just like Cricket
Dixie did the same thing. I guess I am overly cautious. She told AC friends of mine that she had been to the vet and hated it. We all took that to mean she had been spayed. She trembled awfully when I took her in for some blood work. The vet couldn't find a scar but I kept pushing for some sort of test to make sure. There is a hormone test (expense but worth it in her case). Since she was FeLV + I didn't want to put her thru surgery unnecessarily. Besides, I had lost 2 girls 4 days after surgery. Different vets and unrelated cats. I don't believe either vet did anything wrong but I was and am spay shy right now. Long and short: She had been spayed. Yes, I imagine they think we do really weird things.

Re: I adopted a new kitty; looks just like Cricket
Wendy, Yea, I've heard of that too. They have a name for it, but I can't remember what it's called, and because the life of spirit doesn't have the same time constraints as our world, it doesn't matter if the host body was born before the reincarnated soul passed. If you want to hear something uncanny... When my friend Patricia, (you may remember she's my AC friend), wanted to adopt one of my bottle babies, she said she had been told that whichever one she chose, would make room for her Siamese kitty, Ghandi, that had past several years before. Now here's the strange part... When she took Molly home, she was long haired, she had the markings of a Siamese, but she didn't have the body type. Over the course of a couple of months, Molly's body began to change and she grew up to look like a Siamese! I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes. Her fur got shorter and sleeker and her, legs long and her head more angled! Don't discount the fact that this may very well be your sweet Cricket come back to you! Pay attention and see if you notice any other character traits that they have in common. It doesn't really matter, although it's wonderful to think about, if this is Cricket. I know this baby will be loved and cherished. Congratulations on your new addition!!

This kitty is such a love and will bless our home. I noticed she has tapeworms yesterday, so I gave her a quarter pill of those pills you can get from the feed store for dog tapeworms. That's what I usually use, and had some left over from last year. Otherwise, she seems very healthy, and gets along as if she has both her eyes instead of one. I have to get her shots and get her spayed in a month, so I will probably have her tested for FeLV at that time as well. But I'm sure there are many of you out there who understand me when I say part of me just wants to forgo that FeLV test, and not know if she is, you know? Ignorance is bliss. I guess that would be irresponsible though, as she would need special care, although all my kitties eat healthy and get their vitamins. Anyway, I am very happy about this new addition to our home, and I just wanted to share it with you guys, who can appreciate it the most. Thanks for listening! :) Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!?
