RE: Monkee's Funeral Service
Caroline, I think that's wonderful what you are doing in Monkee's honor and for Rambo. That's nice that your community has such programs. No such luck here in the sticks. So, your Catholic church has a place for memorial services for animals and such? I'm Catholic, and I can't imagine our church doing such a thing, but we're a little far behind the times I think. The Pope said some nice things about animals having souls or some such thing. I thought that was rather progressive for a conservative pope. I'll have to look for that quote somewhere. He also lamented the treatment of animals today for food (factory farms, etc.). As for the poetry, I know exactly what you mean! I'm an English major (finishing up masters), but I'm not a creative writer by any means. I love writing analytically. Essays get me very excited. I even applied to law school but chickend out and didn't take the LSAT. I appreciate poetry, but always thought that those who write it are totally different from me. It's all too abstract for my liking. Well, when facing the loss of my second pregnancy last year, I found myself in a really poetic state. Odd. I'd jot down phrases and observations while driving. There must be something therapeutic about it. I've never written a poem out of my ideas, but I've hung onto them in case I decide to sometime. Creative writing hurts my brain-the right side, since my days are spent in total left-brain-ness, but I think that poetry can be very healing. You should share your poem if you're comfortable with that. I hope your service planning goes well. I completely understand about your sister. My family is not very understanding about my animal passion. At least your mom is helpful. Mine just bugs me to take her pets off her hands! I finally got sick of it and told her that when she has 6 pets, then she can ask me to take some, but until then, please don't bother me about it anymore. Her pets have a fine home. They are in no need of rescue. If my mom and sisters weren't so darn lazy and self-centered. Enough ranting! I was trying to be supportive of you! Anyway, let us know how it goes. I'm sure it will give you some peace to put Monkee to rest. It will also allow you some time to grieve and get some sadness out. Best, Melissa _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Caroline Kaufmann Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 8:47 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: OT: Monkee's Funeral Service Melissa: In answer to your question, we haven't done Monkee's funeral service yet. BUT WE ARE GOING TO DO IT. My mom and I spent a lot of time debating where to do it and if we wanted a religious or lay person to do a reading/say something. We found the location...a barn behind my the church I grew up going to and where I went to school. The barn isn't really a barn, it's a building that used to be a barn. And tho I went to a Catholic church and school, my mom was surprised to discover that they now use the barn and the outdoor area behind it for things just like this. I kind of put it on my mom to help plan it and make phone calls/inquires and she just lost track. This Sunday, we are going to the Pet Memorial Ceremony sponsored by Chance's Spot- an online community for those grieving the loss of a pet. It's at an outdoor Amphitheater and there will be readings and music and everyone who attends will get their pet's name read aloud. I planned to take both Monkee and Rambo (the last of our geriatric cats- 19 yo- and my favorite of the litter, whom we put to sleep last Oct). And by take- I mean their ashes. We are still doing a separate, private ceremony for Monkee. I wanted to do it prior to the group ceremony on Sunday, but we just ran out of time. I wanted to do it tomorrow, but my Mom was dying to go to Morristown, TN to visit her only granddaughter, Lily, and she does SO much for me, that I can't begrudge her that. I will definitely let you know what we decide to do. I am going to have memorial prayer cards made for everyone who sent me a sympathy card (I got tons). My sister thinks I am crazy for wanting to do that (she told my mom that), but she can go to H-LL! There's a company that makes Pet Prayer Cards online and I have picked out what I want and the pic of Monkee I want on it. Still deciding about the text. I wrote a poem a week after Monkee died. I am NOT a poem writer AT ALL tho. I am a writer, but not a poem writer! But it just came out...I still don't know where it came from? I thought about putting the poem I wrote on the prayer cards, especially if I read it (or have it read- I don't know if I can get thru it) at Monkee's ceremony. The only person I have shared it with is my mom, yet she still hasn't read it yet because she says she can't (because she cries)- so I don't know if it's any good or not! But, I will keep you updated on what we decide. I'm pretty confident The Monk will always be my most
RE: My new pimp daddy cat trees
Pet trees are so expensive-but yours sounds actually worth it. Some are so overpriced for the crappy materials that are used. We've been meaning to build a cat play house, but haven't yet. One thing we do is to take old spools that electrical wire was on, or welding wire (from local companies), and cover them in scrap carpet. Our cats love it, and the spools aren't too big for our living room. They're about chair-height, and the cats just love ripping into them. They can also sit on top (carpet covers the hole), and play king of the spool while swatting each other on and off! Such fun!

The 4 posts holding up the tree are all wrapped w/ sisal. Anyway, I choose the black carpet w/ faux leopard carpet (had no idea THAT idea could be found) that wrap the perches. Kitties LOVE it. They LOVE it s much, they found the man's business card in my wallet and ordered 2 more. Only he is out of black carpet so what does he use instead? Purple Royal purple w/ leopard fur trim..

looking for medicine
hello all, I am now fostering an elderly cat for a friend. the cat often throws up. He is not leukemia positive, but my last kitty was. She had some medicine that helped her with digestion and vomitting. I used the last of it on Tigger (the foster) and it worksgreat. But I need more and they dont have it on petmeds website. The vet wont sell it to me without the cat going in which will cost $250. I dont have the money for it and neither does the cats owner. So does anyone know where I can buy liquid metoclopramide susp. ??? thanks Chelsea

Re: looking for medicine
It might be a prescription item, if so,hopefully your vet will be nice enough to write a script. If it's for a different cat, it could be a problem. Normalprotacol wouldbe to see the cat.

Update on papillon
Papillon had his vet visit today. He has been lethargic lately and yesterday he stumbled when he tried to walk. Dr. Smith found that his heart rate is up, he is having eye redness w/discharge, his stomach is beginning to collect fluid and I believe his temperature was up too. Prognosis is that his felv is on the rise, so to say. He received a cocktail shot of Depo Medrol, Dexamethasone B-12 some eye drops to be given TID. And he told me that this was all we were going to do, and I am to call him daily w/ reports. Once they start having the neuro problems, it never goes back to normal. I am going to accept this, my funds are always tight Dr. Smith knows this. He also knows that I am in the felv+ kitty club for good, and he knows also how many more special needscats I have. And he has seen this condition so many times,so, he knows what he is dealing with. He stressed 2 things for Pappy, good nutrition w/ supplements stress free lifestyle as possible. Those are the keys to the felv+ kingdom right now. I also think what Tad posted a while back made alot of sense, that we take them in, knowing they are going to die sooner rather than later, and it will hurt us, but we go on. We just do the best that we can do for these cats that not many people will open their homes to. And it is not their fault, continously dealing w/ the death of a beloved pet is hard on our souls. I understand why folks cannot do this on a regular basis. We are blessed to have them, in so many ways, and it hurts when they pass, but we just hold them in their final hours and tell them they are the best little kitty in the whole wideworld. But until then, everyday that we have them we greet them w/a smile and we tell them how much we love them and how much they mean to us.. :) Susan J.

Re: Update on papillon
Susan, I'm so sorry for your little Pappy and for you. I know what you all mean by the best little kitty ever I read Caroline's response to you... I thought one day, a while back, it is almost like THEY know they are a bit more trouble, so they make sure they are extra charming, irresistable...Not every single cat comes across that special. For example, my cat Velcro, is a real pain...He is grumpy, boring, lazy...never plays,not interested in anything except food. growls at everyone, even me sometimes...Except for being a fatty, is the picture of health. I do try to restrict his food intake...He can also be very needy, likes my lap a lot...If he is comfortable and I need to get up, he will most often bite and claw me , just to let me know he does not like losing his lap...He is not what you could call the best kitty ever . He is not FeLV+ kitty either... My Gracie , however, is...and she is the best kitty ever... My heart breaks for everyone here with sick kitties and those who have lost their kitty. It is just about impossible not to cry every time one of us is going through a crisis. There is just something universal about how those kitties touch us, where we can all understand just how sweet they all are and the pain those of us who love them are feeling. I do know one thing for sure:Our little FeLV+ Kitties do bring out the best, in all of us. I know that.

Susan I'm so sorry that your Papillon has run into a rough patch. I hope the treatment he got today (please give us some detail on his treatment) will get him to a comfortable place where he can be your 'best kitty in the whole world' for a long time to come. This disease seems to inhabit the exceptional, sweetest, the very best kitties in the world. They seem so open and grateful for the love and care they get.

Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Chris, Prayers that little Kaylee's surgery is a success. I'm sorry you guys are going through this. I never even considered a tumor when I read your posts. Did the vet think that the cancer will be limited to the eye only? I sure hope so. Our Smookie only has one eye and she does great. She doesn't even know she only has one eye!

Re: Update on papillon
Hi Jane, His treatment today was the shot. It was composed of 2 types of cortesone B12. Once the disease takes the turn that Pappy's has, (neurological) there is really no treatment. With the exception of daily monitoring, lots of love plenty of snuggle time, supplements. Dr. Smith said that the shot may or may not help him, however, he seems more alert tonight and more social w/the other kitties. I know this is all temporary, but a girl can dream :) Susan J.

re: Update on Papillon
Well, I have to admit that Papillon LOVES to grab my hands, bite bunny kick when he gets a whim.. But they are ALL the best kitties in the world. My friend Sheila had a polydactyl tuxie boy that was a real turd. A REAL turd.. Oh, and he was felv+, of course, so no one wanted him. His name was Blackjack because he had 21 toes. He would be lying in her lab while she was on the computer, all sweet actin'. All of a sudden he would go crazy and attack her face. She LOVED that cat s much. It was like an abusive relationship. She even said that when she would dress or undress in her bedroom, BlackJack would just lay on the bed and watch her, like he was @ the strip bar or something. (Take it off, baby...!) And he would grab @ her too... :) She got sooo attached to him,she had to start putting some distance between herself him. Which just meant he got to hang out in the indoor /outdoor felv+ area more,as opposed to her bedroom. He passed away from the neurological problems that Pappy is now experiencing. Susan J.

Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Yes, there are tumors that are non cancerous. But it is my understanding, in people anyway, that any tumor in the brain is automatically considered cancer for some reason. I could be wrong on this. I was told this from my friend who has a tumor on her pituitary gland, which has since sprung a baby. She has named thempete repeat. Great gal. Usedtowork w/her @ the AHS in the clinic, very dedicated to the animals. Went towork for the HSUS on movie sets,now she regulates the animal usage in films.

need medicine
Yeah i know the cat is overdue for a vet visit. But I am currently unemployed at the moment, I am young so I still live with my mother. We are keeping the cat because my friend does not have a place to live, no job, and no money. I am feeding the cat innova food. The vet appointment will cost about 250 bucks, and they dont do payments or help for the poor. The cat is otherwise healthy. Any ideas on a good appetite stimulant and where I can get one? I will try that drugstore link. thanks Chelsea
