Thing is, all my guys

Leah,
I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Mikey. I hope you can take some
comfort in knowing you did everything you could for him and that he had
a warm, loving, secure home for the time he was with you. It sounds
like the fluids you got him helped him be more comfortable in his last
hours.
we need to remember that a lot of vets don't really like cats. sad,
but true. cats are seen as rather disposable we have a
24-hour-emergency clinic here owned by a vet who hates cats
and two of the three emergency vets here regularly declare the cat
will die before morning unless

Thanks for the housecall site--I did check it out. I think it may still
be new? The vet I used isn't on it, or the other one I know of (but
haven't used). I'll check into it periodically. I'm very envious of your
pool of 6 housecall vets! Kerry
Kerry,
Actually, it is progress! They ate in front of you. I'd take it up a
notch. When they're hungry, instead of putting it down for them right
away, kneel down low with the bowl close to you, toss them a piece at a
time and get them used to understanding that the food is coming
directly
Ha! Flavia is your target, she's the one that's going to give in first.

Wow. That's bad. A vet who hates cats.
Agree with all you say about checking the vet out before an
emergency--it's true that rational thinking takes a dive. The problem
with emergencies, whether you rush to your own clinic during normal
hours, or ER, is that you have to take whoever is available.
I got the carrier out to take my sweet orange boy, Henry Lee to the vet
(I thought the name sounded southern; he was a starving kitten trying
to eat a piece of dirty french fry by a dumpster in Mississippi). He
was my first positive kitty.
When all of my kitties saw the carrier, they all ran
