Re: ournewbaby
Lynne, Bless you for taking in this kitty. It brought tears to my eyes to read your post, because I know how very lucky she is to have the new family she's just inherited. She probably doesn't know it yet, but it won't take her long. What a wonderful thing that Boo Boo is part of the reason that this beautiful cat now has a forever home. Please keep us posted on how she does. :) 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 ~~~ - Original Message From: Lynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 11:14:25 AM Subject: ournewbaby We met the foster mom of the cat we adopted at the vets this morning and now have our new little girl home.

Re: ournewbaby
Oh thank you Wendy for your kind words. What a difference a day can make though. This little dickens kept us up all night. She would take turns on each side of the bed, blatting. We'd say, come up Snowy, she would, purr like a freight train, cuddle up and sleep for 20 minutes, jump down and start the whole routine again. This morning she was racing around the house like a lunatic, playing hide and seek. She was kind of naughty yesterday, stalking Lennie, ate his food, layed in his litter box. Did nothing in his litter box, just lay in it. So we changed Lennies food. This morning she ate her own stuff and is using her own litterbox and I think she understands that Lennie wants nothing to do with her. She'll still walk by him and hiss just to bug him. He doesn't care. She reminds me a bit of BooBoo, very gentle and loving but she has a more playful streak in her. Of course poor Boo was in no condition to be playful. She certainly has helped ease the pain of losing him, probably because she is pretty high maintenance. We need to comb her at least once a day and clean her eyes twice a day because they do tear a lot. I swear she would be show material if those eyes weren't so much work. I'm not going to do anything extreme with them, just bathe them with warm water a couple times a day so they don't get crusty. Yep we love her and you know, if dear Boo hadn't been with us I probably would never have been made so aware of all the devastating illnesses and terrible conditions so many of these cats live with.

Here is Snowball. As you can see she requires high maintenance. We need to wash her face and eyes at least twice a day. Nothing wrong with them, just persian eyes. Lynne Your files are attached and ready to send with this message. attachment: mellynsoapsjpg 624.jpg

RE: Snowball
She is lovely! I, too,just lost a cat (although not a FeLV+), but a cat I had for 13 years and for the last two years, he was going through chemo for intestinal cancer. But prior to his passing, I agreed to take a cat that tested positive for FeLV and needed a home (I have had many FeLV+ cats, lost 3 last year to the disease). I was unsure about following through with taking the new cat when Puddin'taine died even though I knew it was coming. I went ahead and took the other cat and am so glad I did. He has really blossomed and made himself at home--even helping to fill the void left behind. I mention this because I know that Snowball will do the same for you and Bob. Every time I read where someone's pet has died and they say they can't go through that again and they decide no more pets I think how sad. I know it's tempting, having lost so many (since I typically rescue FeLV+ cats, that is unavoidable) and it never gets easier, but sometimes sooner or sometimes later, another furry soul comes along and needs you (and you need him/her). Here's wishing that you and Snowball have many many days together. Tracy
Re: Snowball
Lynne - thank you for sending her picture. She is a beauty. My Persian had to have her face washed regularly, too--you're right, Persian eyes. I am so very glad you all have found each other.

Re: Snowball
I can't believe how this little one has adapted. She spent most of yesterday upstairs, coming down occasionally to see what was going on. Tonight she came down, started racing from one end of the house to the other, up and across the furniture, grabbed some ribbon I was working with and unrolled it and now is out in the patio with Bob and Lennie getting some fresh air before bedtime. She is so frisky and when you call her, she comes, just like a dog. Strange little girl. It's been a long time since we've had a cat that is this playful and the only thing we could find toy wise were some of those practice plastic golf balls. Well she loved them, chased them all over the place. Guess I'll have to make a trip to the pet store and get her a furry mouse toy to play with.
