Summer 2002: Finally took in stray cat that'd
been hanging around for a year or so. Sweet, beautiful short-haired black
kitty with yellow eyes, about 2 years old - she met the others, got along fairly
well. Was absolutely IN LOVE with my husband.

Hi Nina:
Cotton is mixed with all the others. He's
only been with us for about 3 months. My established cats are:
Miss-oldest female
Myca-big male, but very sensitive
Cricket-youngest smallest female, but very
feisty.
Miss and Myca tolerate Cotton's lack of
manners but Cricket is the

Hi, I think it is great that you foster. But you must remember this. Any
time you bring another cat into your home the "Pecking Order" will
change. And there will be stress on the part of the cats you already

I don't know if you were on the list when my Simon was sick, but he

Thank you, I call him Handsome Man! He's even better looking now. It's

Nina, I thank you for your kind thoughts. I

much of how they feel in their faces and body. I could tell that Miss
was quite angry about Cotton when he first came. She started avoiding us,
and I could just see the anger brewin
Hi Nina,
Thank you for the advice about the Interferon.
I will go back and read the archives about some more about more supportive
measures for Cotton. I'm very impressed that the L-lysine helped.
The Interferon is coming from a vet pharmacy through mail order, and they
gave me a choice of flavors
