Dear Sherry, I'm sorry for the late reply, due to having been returning from South America over the last week and a half. My heart breaks for you and Mick, and everyone who knew him. As always, thank you for loving him, and all the others. May God help you heal those broken pieces.

Re: [Felvtalk] Boo is gone
Dear Beth, I'm sorry for the late reply. I've been transferring from Chile back to the U.S. the last week and a half. I hope the sorrow of losing Boo is beginning to fade a bit. God bless you for fostering Boo and the other precious, special babes that are still with you.

Re: [Felvtalk] Spanky is an angel
Dear Stacy, I was beginning a military transfer from Chile to the DC area on Jan 2nd when I saw this post, and am just now settled down enough to find the time to reply. I was so saddened then, and I'm still sad now knowing that Spanky is gone. I'm sorry for this late reply, and I hope that it doesn't upset you too much to be reminded of his passing, but just know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you. You know your love was always the best medicine and that you did everything you could to keep him healthy as long as possible. God bless you and keep you, Mike <3 ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Re: [Felvtalk] Diet recommendations
I've switched my cats to Blue Buffalo and they seem to love the food and they have been healthier. They used to vomit randomly, but haven't since being on the new food. I also smudge of Nutri-Cal on their paw once a day, just so they get some extra vitamins. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 15, 2011, at 10:13 AM, Sharyl wrote: > Heather, I rescued a pair of FeLV kittens.

Sherry...I feel so bad for you, and so grateful that Xander had your love and care for so long. A candle will burn brightly in SoCal for Xander tonight, and one for you as well, to ease your sorrow.

Heather, I rescued a pair of FeLV kittens. Sissy always had enlarged lymph nodes especially at her neck. Rocket never did. I tried several things but never helped.
