Re: Please add Tsunade to CLS
Chelsea, I'm so sorry about Tsunade. Give yourself some time to grieve and then when you think of getting a new cat you can consider whether or not you would like to rescue another positive. If not, you can still use the same cat trees, bowls, etc The virus doesn't live outside the host for any more than 5 minutes tops. tonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have not been able to keep up with this list much because things have been really chaotic in my life lately.

RE: Please add Tsunade to CLS
Chelsea, I am so sorry that Tsunade didn't make it. Gentle Bridge vibes to her and hugs to you. The leukemia virus can't survive in the open air for more than a few seconds, and is only transmitted through things like deep bites, so you probably don't have to worry about the condo and scratching post. If they make you nervous, give them a scrubbing with, say, a vinegar/water solution and let them dry in the sun. And this is way more than you really need to do. Diane R.

Re: Please add Tsunade to CLS
Chelsea, I remember when you first came here. You were so eager to learn new info. and help Tsunade. I am so sorry she lost her battle with FeLV. It must be very hard for you. It sounds like you made the right decision in letting her go. It's one of the last and most selfless gifts we can give, for those of us who love our furbabies deeply. I hope you allow her sweet memories to comfort you as you grieve for her. I think it's safe to use her kitty condo and scratching post again. The virus does not live long outside the host's body. I'm betting Tsunade would love for another kitty to enjoy them. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

Re: Please add Tsunade to CLS
Chelsea, Others on the list can advise you on spreading FeLV, but I just wanted to say how sorry I was for your loss. I remember you when I joined. You will be able to open your heart to another furkid. There are so many waiting to be loved by someone just like you.

RE: Please add Tsunade to CLS
So sorry to hear about Tsunade. I hope your grief eases. My good vet said the same thing-that the virus can only live for a few seconds. I hope you find the strength to get through this and take in more kitties in need.
