Re: [Felvtalk] Hemy has a home
Bonnie, I was saddened to read that your Aunt has passed. At least she was at peace knowing her cats were safe with you. You have done a great job with Hemy. She has definitely found her new forever home. Sharyl From: Bonnie Hogue ho...@sonic.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Monday, September 5, 2011 1:31 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] Hemy has a home Just an update on that little “feral” cat I took from my dear aunt’s house…. After going to Forgotten Felines for spay (already spayed), partial tail amputation and general health check, “Hemy” lived in a pen on my deck for nearly a month. I would get my upper body in the pen and we would have a ‘love fest’ of petting, purring, head-butting and cuddling. Clearly: not a feral cat. So I left the pen door open yesterday. She sniffed all around the yard, circled several times, returned to the pen to eat and sleep in her favorite bed. I called FF about finding her a home, but I think this is her home, and I’m her person. I love this little cat. I suspect she has some health issues, but I’m delighted to give her a home and in return have her friendship. By the way, my dear aunt passed away on Aug. 24. I visited her the evening before and she said then the same thing she said every time I saw her: “I’m so GLAD you have the cats.” Then she’d ask about them and I’d tell her how each one was doing and how wonderful they are. It was obviously important to her that her animals were being cared for, and I think the fact that it was me (‘in the family’ and a known cat lover) helped. I’m happy that my taking her cats made her happy and gave her a little peace in her time of transition. ~Bonnie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Fletch
It has always been my understanding that you should never give asprin to cats: Aspirin Side Effects Aspirin is not a medication that is typically administered to cats. If administered, it may cause a few side effects such as: Stomach acidity, which can lead to stomach ulcers Upset stomach Vomiting Diarrhea Blood coagulation delays Lack of appetite Read more: Can You Give a Cat Aspirin? - VetInfo From: marciabmar...@gmail.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 21:40:49 -0500 Subject: [Felvtalk] Fletch Update and more questions.

This morning he refused to eat or drink and hasn't done so all day. I hav given him some electrolytes 3 times today. He didn't like that a bit. He had very watery poop with hard chunks in it.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fletch
You can give baby aspirin like every other day or 72 hours or something like that for just a few days though. “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 10:44:05 -0400 From: at...@optonline.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Fletch Same here!

Re: [Felvtalk] Sadly, Black Tom crossed the rainbow bridge last week
Kelley So sorry for the loss of Black Tom. Each cat is special and their life counts. It is so difficult to tell when to intervene sometimes. I hope his helper comes to see it is not her fault, and to appreciate the times they spent together.
