RE:  Oz and his rear end.  I had a stray that never wanted his rear end 
touched.  He died from urinary tract obstruction.  The vet was upset that he 
could not find anything to cause it so he did an autopsy.  He found adhesions 
all over inside his body, the kind that come from being kicked across a room, 
very hard.  He was a beautiful champagne color Persian with the most loving 
personality.  Maybe Oz has some adhesions ?

I was stung by a brown scorpion while in art school in Mexico.  What a headache!
Now I find that I have them here in Missouri.  When we built our house and 
finally got it closed up, found a 5 one while on the way to bed.  Missed 
stepping on him thank God.  Because we are on a south facing bluff we have 
them, rattle snakes and anything else that lives under a rock in a burrow.

 Furniture is around #50 down on my priority list of things I need.  I live
 in South Texas.  We have a 365 day flea season and now that I moved out to
 a rural area in order to be able to keep my rescued cats without having to
 deal with stupid Animal Control Officers who never even read their own
 ordinances, I also have scorpions, snakes and assorted weird looking
 crawlies.  I tend to stay away from anything upholstered in favor of
 washable pillows, washable patio cushions, large towels from Goodwill and
 snuggy cat beds and blankets. Anything that can't be hosed down or tossed
 into the washing machine has no place in a house that 38 cats call home. As
 long as I can park my rump on something that is clean, won't have any
 hidden, stinging surprises and is fairly comfortable, I don't care what it
 looks like.
 
 Fortunately, almost all of my friends are rescuers so everyone thinks I'm
 normal.
 
 
 Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty
 neighbors too!

Hi Kathryn, it's so strange! I was thinking of you this morning and telling 
myself that I need to email and see how everyone is doing(-: 
It sounds like everyone has settled in. That's great! My Wildfire will not eat 
canned either, never has and I suppose, never will. Straight dry for her! Take 
care and Thanks again!!

 An update for all:
 Miss Kitty is fitting right in with the rest of the household, both canine 
 and feline. She is the one who the lady actually abandoned. She is young, 
 pure black Bombay kitty. Not a spec of @white anywhere. And she is a purring 
 machine. She does have a strange habit tho.she totally refuses to eat any 
 type of Cannes cat food. Scarfs down the dry, turn her nose up at anything 
 out of can.
 
 Oz is the old battle scarred male that came along as part of the Miss Kitty 
 package although, technically he started it all! While both treated negative 
 for FeLV, he was positive for FIV. His sneezing, coughing, wheezing and runny 
 eyes are much better and he has gained a lot of weight.
 
 I was concerned that his back end stayed scrawny - almost like a dog with hip 
 displaysia, And he gets very upset if you touch his hind quarters. I have 
 another vet visit scheduled for him to see if we can figure out what that is 
 all about. He also isn't much at socializing with ANY species and spends the 
 majority of his time in a little cat house in the master bath.
 
 Will drop a quick note when Oz has seen the vet again.

 Sandy hit us hard!  We had 3 feet of heavy wet snow which pulled down trees
 as well as electric and phone lines.  I had no idea we'd get hit so hard
 this far inland, as we are in the eastern mountains of WV, but we had no
 electricity for two weeks and we still don't have a phone or internet
 service. We have to drive out to a place that has service.
 
 Anyway, I was not able to check into the group all this time, and I was
 very worried about that cat in Ohio who was abandoned.  Now I know both
 cats are fine and have found a home.  
 
 THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES for your kindness in taking these poor babies.  
 The woman who abandoned them should be ashamed of herself. I'd like to 
 see her chained to her front porch all winter with no food or shelter!

  Thanks to all for kind words.  I am what I am - an animal lover.
  
  For those who care to know:
  
  I got both cats tho had to drive all the way to camp ground, (abt 6
  hrs round trip), as cats were uncooperative to the point of downright
  hostility when Marcia's brother, Craig, had them in cardboard
  carriers.  Cat scratch fever!  He ended up putting them/in folding dog
  crate til I got there.
  
  Appears the grey one (actually more of a brown/black/grey tabby), was
  NOT the one the woman had deserted.  The smaller black female was
  hers.  The grey is a battle scarred fully intact male who roamed the
  campground.  Craig had the honor of naming him - Ozzie it is.  Oz for
  short.  I am concerned about him as he is hoarse, has a funny nose,
  tearing eyes and sneezesupper resp issues at the very least I
  suspect.  As soon as I closed them in my master bathroom (quarantine),
  he spent over 1/2 hr scarfing down food and water.
  
  Smaller black cat appears to have absolutely NO white on her.  Not on
  chest, feet, tip of tail, nothing.  Never seen one pure black before.
  She is a lover/lap cat.  First thing out of carrier she made one round
  of bathroom and used the litter pan.  My kind of Kitty.

THANK YOU!  I will bring that possibility up w/the vet.  In talking to
him on the phone he has come up with a few possibilities but I will
see what he thinks.  I also notice that Oz is VERY leery of brooms.
Will even stop eating his morning canned food and run for shelter if I
start sweeping around his litter pan on the far side of the room.  And
unlike Miss Kitty, Oz LOVES his canned food treat.   I have to wonder
if he hasn't been clobbered/chased with a broom more than a few times.
