now i am wondering if that was Shadow's problem. he suddently loss use of his

Catnip--not bad! Haven't tried that one. Whenever I think I've found

"perfect" pill pusher-downer), they always manage to show me who is the real

As sort of a parenthetical to this discussion, which I confess I've only

Those who love and care for feral cats have a very difficult calling,
one that causes great pain when a feral leaves for any reason.
However, when a feral cares about you, it is the most rewarding
experience because that caring can not be forced nor is it bred into
the cat. Bless you and

it takes time, but ferals can be taught to trust us humans. i had 2 and each
took around 18 months of concentrated effort before they became lap babies.

The doctor has certainly earned her wings!
