Re: Tad lost his Sammy
Tad, I'm sorry you've suffered another loss so soon. Someone on the list said once that they believed we have more losses in the spring and fall and I believe that seems to be true. I don't remember what the reason was, but she said that in the spring and in the fall the window to 'the other side' or to heaven or to whatever you believe was more open or accessible for some reason. I know we've had a lot of losses recently. I hope summer is better for everyone. tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TadI am sorry for your loss of Sammy.My heart goes out to youCarlaDate sent: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 09:44:04 -0700 (PDT)From: Barb Moermond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgCopies to: Subject: Re: Tad lost his SammySend reply to: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Tad, I'm so sorry you lost your Sammy - 18 mos is too short a time to have with our babies.

Hi Michelle, Maybe I'm grasping at straws here, but has he been tested for toxoplasmosis? That can cause seizures, among other things. Just wanted to throw out that possibility, since it's treatable. I'll be keeping Bramble in my prayers. Yvonne Mom of FIV+ Simba

AC: Charmed/Bamama
Hi I have two cats that I loved that passed away, Charmed was Felv+ then tested negative after 1 1/2 yrs then 6week later discovered he had cancer and died. Both were very special in different ways and both left me with a sadden heart that I still cry about often. He was very smart I would like to know if he really understood and was he happy the time he spend with us even though he was seperated from his siblings. . It's 4 yrs almost and I still miss him. I had to make a choice when he had a heartattack not to try and bring him back and it hurt a lot not too. Was he ok with that? Bamama was like my little watch dog. If my boyfriend yelled at me she would fluff up and protect me. She became anemic when her spleen was removed and with full flown aides as it was it was too much to battle. Even in the end as I cried to pts she dragged her body (she had a seizure the night before) to me to comfort me on last time. It's been almost 3 yrs for her. Is she ok and does she forgive me for the mistakes I made and my paients was running a little low when she didn't want to eat and I would get annoyed with her. Can you tell me anything about either one and how they feel or anything about them now that they have passed? Carla [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Charmed/Bamama
Hi, Carla. I'm sorry to hear of your losses, I know what it's like to lose a beloved pet. Please see this page on my website www.katberard.com/com_lossandgrief.com to help you with your grief. They do not want you to continue grieving and stay stuck in that energy. Allow it to move through and then let it go. Staying stuck in grief is not good for you; there is a process to move through, but the point is to move through it and let it go. I know that's easier said than done, but animals are geared for living in the moment and enjoying love and joy and compassion. Continued grieving when they are in a good state in the spirit world does nothing for them, or for you. The best gift you can give your departed friends is the joyful heart, one that honors and appreciates their spirits and their memories. And moving forward through life with an open and grateful heart for the time you shared together. I am not in any way minimizing the sadness you feel; but staying stuck is not good for you (or anyone). I speak from experience. Please consider getting the two books I mentioned in a previous post: Animals and the Afterlife, by Kim Sheridan; and Blessing the Bridge: Death, Dying and Beyond. I think you'll find these extremely helpful. I would be happy to talk with your cats in private sessions, but it would be unfair to others for me to get personal messages for you in this forum. Please feel free to contact me privately [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you'd like to proceed with sessions. Kat Kathleen A.

(June 7, 2005) Newly elected Pope Benedict XVI's well-known love of stray cats apparently is not shared by the Dominican Nuns of the Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx, New York. The Mother Superior has ordered the removal of seven feral cats who are almost all neutered, rabies vaccinated and have lived on the monastery's five acres for the past 8 years. In a decision backed by the Archdiocese of NY, the plan is to first try to force the cats to leave by withholding all food and starving them. Then if they don't go on their own, the resident Sisters will trap them and hand them over to the city. Shelter workers would be forced to euthanize the cats because they are feral and unadoptable and have nowhere else to be placed. The Vicar of the Religious Office for the Archdiocese, Sister Helen C., stated, my compassion does not extend to these animals and they will be removed eventually, one way or another. The plan is not only cruel for depriving these cats of their long-time home and causing their suffering and likely deaths, it is ineffective feral cat population control, said Bryan Kortis, Executive Director of Neighborhood Cats, a leading feral cat organization and a member of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals. Maintaining neutered feral colonies, using a method known as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), is the only proven way to reduce feral numbers in the long term. Otherwise, new unneutered cats will simply replace the ones removed and the cycle of suffering and killing will go on indefinitely. Over the past eight years, at their own expense, volunteers have removed nine cats from the grounds of the monastery and placed them in homes.

Thanks Joan for forwarding this. I've sent off emails to both address and I'll follow them with faxs. Here's what I wrote in case someone wants to use it as a template. Could someone please explain to me why feral cats that have lived on the Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx, NY for years are now targeted for eradication? What exactly have these animals done to warrant this? How is it that they have lived in harmony with the Dominican Nuns for the past eight years, but now are cruelly being removed from their habitat? What is it that they are doing, besides controlling the vermin population and enriching the compound with their beauty and grace that leads you to take these measures? Why is it that you are refusing the help of animal activists to resolve this issue in a humane manner? I've always had questions about practices in the Catholic Church, but this is not only puzzling behavior, it's down right cruel. Please rethink your position on this matter.

RE: FW: Bronx Nuns Seek Extermination of 8 Year Old Cat Colony -O.T.
Title: Message Thanks Nina. Here's mine, too. Kerry ...is something sorely lacking in this world, and spiritual leaders are not expected to join the ranks of the cruel and indifferent. Re the headline "Bronx Nuns Seek Extermination of 8 Year Old Cat Colony", I am absolutely incredulous that someone who holds the position of "Vicar of the Religious Office for the Archdiocese" can state "my compassion does not extend to these animals" and "they will be removed eventually, one way or another." For "these animals" have harmed no one, and are utterly innocent and defenceless. Unlike humans--unlike Helen C.--no animal is capable of premeditated cruelty. Helen C. is a disgrace to the community of Sisters and all spiritual leaders, and should be removed from her post. If she was once compassionate, the power has surely corrupted her, and she has totally lost sight of the sort of human being she is supposed to be. sincerely, Kerry MacKenzie, Chicago. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joan DoljanSent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 11:51 AMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Re: FW: Bronx Nuns Seek Extermination of 8 Year Old Cat Colony -O.T.

Re: Question - Long
Nina, I took Muffie to the vet, he sedated her and shaved her body left the fur around her face and head long. She looks like a little strange lion, but I know she feels better. She seems healthy and has calmed right down. She gets along great with my other babies. Some ignore her, some act like she has been here forever. I got up this morning and found her sleeping in a clothes hamper with my boy Spanky.She loves to be petted, but will not sit on your lap she will not get on the furniture either. I put her on my bed, the sofa, chairs even the counters and she will jump right down. I guess someone taught her not to, but maybe she will change in time when she sees my kitties sleeping anywhere they decide. She had what I thought was a lump on her side I was afraid it was a tumor or something. The doctor x-rayed and said she had some broken ribs that healed wrong. He thinks maybe she had been kicked in the past. I don't think she had a very good life before. The bad news is she tested positive for felv I will have her tested again in a couple months. My doctor knows I have other pos. and how I feel about the subject so he doesn't even bring pts up. He did that one time with my Charlie 3 years ago. I brought Charlie home I thought to die, but he is still healthy and happy at the ripe old age of 14 . Anyway I love Muffie already. I will probably even keep the name it seems to fit. Thank you and everyone here for all the good advice. Sheila

I've just forwarded to all our fosters, board members and FuRR Yahoo group asking them to write. We had a similar situation here just about this time last year - an Episcopal minister was poisoning feral cats around his church. One reason he gave for not wanting cats arounfd (he never admitted poisoning but there were witnesses) was that the fleas bothered his congregation. I expect if there was a flea problem it was more likely to come from the homeless shelter in the basement of the church.Cherie A Gabbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just sent it to my local, NBC, ABC and CBS stations, I hope something can come of this.

re:Bronx Nuns Seek Extermination of 8 Year Old Cat
Thanks, Nina: I sent this email to both addresses and phoned the archdiocese. I spoke with a woman in Public Relations. Her sole desire was to find out how I got this informataion. She kept trying to brush me off, but I didn't let her. I was brought up Catholic and St. Francis is my favorite saint. I can hardly believe that nuns are capable of creating an Auschwitz for these poor little creatures of God. I refer to the starving of these little beings and then trapping and placing them in a shelter where they will be gassed. You must know that this is a sin. I will say a rosary for you in hopes that you repent and remember this: :Jesus Condemneth The Ill Treatment Of Animals Lection XXXVIII 6. And whatsoever ye do unto the Cast of these my children, ye do it unto me. For I am in them and they are in me, Yea, I am in all creatures and all creatures are in me. In all their joys I rejoice, in all their afflictions I am afflicted. Wherefore I say unto you: Be ye kind one to another, and to all the creatures of God. Kathy (JMJ)
Re: Question - Long
Sheila, Muffie's positive!?? Can you believe it? Poor little angel, broken ribs, out on her own with no front claws... How wonderful that she's finally home where she belongs. We were just talking about how the animals that need us, are drawn to us, I guess Muffie is a prime example. The fact that she's not symptomatic after all the stress she's been through is just great. Maybe that means she's got a better chance at a long, happy life. How telling that she's getting along with your other cats and already feels at home. Thanks for the visual of her sleeping with Spanky in the clothes hamper! As far as her not wanting to be on 'higher ground', that's not at all unusual for a newcomer. They tend to keep a low profile at first. Is she walking with her tail erect yet? Tell her how beautiful she looks with her new hair cut for me. Welcome Muffie! Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nina, I took Muffie to the vet, he sedated her and shaved her body left the fur around her face and head long. She looks like a little strange lion, but I know she feels better. She seems healthy and has calmed right down. She gets along great with my other babies. Some ignore her, some act like she has been here forever. I got up this morning and found her sleeping in a clothes hamper with my boy Spanky.She loves to be petted, but will not sit on your lap she will not get on the furniture either. I put her on my bed, the sofa, chairs even the counters and she will jump right down. I guess someone taught her not to, but maybe she will change in time when she sees my kitties sleeping anywhere they decide. She had what I thought was a lump on her side I was afraid it was a tumor or something. The doctor x-rayed and said she had some broken ribs that healed wrong. He thinks maybe she had been kicked in the past. I don't think she had a very good life before. The bad news is she tested positive for felv I will have her tested again in a couple months. My doctor knows I have other pos. and how I feel about the subject so he doesn't even bring pts up. He did that one time with my Charlie 3 years ago. I brought Charlie home I thought to die, but he is still healthy and happy at the ripe old age of 14 . Anyway I love Muffie already. I will probably even keep the name it seems to fit. Thank you and everyone here for all the good advice. Sheila

The Universe, God, karmawhichever you ascribe to...never piles more on you that you are spiritually, emotionally or pshycally capable of handling. (Although I do wish that at times, perhaps, the powers that be would have just a bit less faith in me particularly) ;-). 2) Many times...its NOT about us. How often have we asked (the Powers that be) to use us for the greater good? Often we are called upon to intervene for *_/someone else's sake/_*...and any lessons we learn, while never wasted, were perhaps not the reason for the intervention, but products of the shared experience. There is ALWAYS payment for a good deed.

Hang in there, tides ebb and flow...you'll get a break eventually. Peace, T Kat, Could you comment on why it might be that some of us seem to draw animals, and people too for that matter, with serious illness to our lives. I guess I should back up first and ask you if you feel everything happens for a reason! I do believe that everything happens for a reason, some things are life-changing events and others seemingly inconsequential. The last year, or so, I have found my life more and more consumed with sick and injured animals. One wise friend reminded me that I take in strays and other unfortunates that haven't had the benefit of a good start, and of course that's true. But it feels like there's more to it than that. I have started to work on my problems with acceptance, (I have been known to be somewhat of a control freak where my fur kids are concerned), and it does seem like the waters are calming. I pray all the time for guidance in recognizing what my lessons are and how to learn them without any more suffering than necessary, but I wonder why it should be that some seem to be touched with disease and death more than others. If this is an inappropriate question for this forum, just say so. We've been hit with a lot of loss lately and we're still reeling. I do tend to wax philosophical with very little provocation, so I'll understand if you choose not to answer this one.

Re: FW: Bronx Nuns-Everyone forward them THIS!
THE POPE THE HOMELESS CATS: John Paul II had a dream By: J.R. Hyland The first time I read the account of Pope John Paul II's dream, the thing that surprised me most was the fact that it was included in the book GOD'S BROKER. Published in 1984, the book was the result of two hundred hours of conversation with the Pope. These interviews began soon after the author, Anton Gronowicz, was introduced to the Pope in 1979, and continued for two years, in the Pontiff's apartment at the Vatican An American citizen of Polish descent, Gronowicz was the longtime friend of many highly-place churchmen. And in the prologue to his book, he explains how he was able to circumvent Vatican bureaucracy. "Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of Poland, introduced me to the Pope, acquainted me with Vatican circles and convinced the Holy Father that he should bypass the Vatican department of State and grant me private interviews." Subtitled "The Life of John Paul II as told in His Own Words" the subject matter of the book ranges from reminiscences of the time when the Pope was known as Karol Wojtyla, a young man living under the Nazi occupation of Poland, to his reflections on social justice issues, theology and church doctrine. And in the midst of these human-centered concerns, the author devotes four pages to a dream the Pope related to him, about a homeless cat. This surprising interpolation might lead to the conclusion that the author understood the significance of the dream: that he was sensitive to the plight of God's other creatures and the way they are abused. But the comments he makes as the Pontiff relates his dream, indicate he had little understanding of the implications of what he was being told. But from the way in which this dream preserved its vigor and immediacy, so many years later, it is obvious that it was very important to John Paul; and he fully understood its implications. In his dream, John Paul follows a homeless mother cat who was trying to find food and shelter for herself and her kittens. She is turned away by those who lack nothing, themselves, and by men who represent the various faces of established Christianity. The dream took place in 1969 the night before the Pope, known then as Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, was to visit New York City for the first time. It was late summer and he had been touring Canada. He spoke of the beauty of its fields and forests and how he had wished for more time to walk in woods vibrant with color and with his "ears filled with the songs and voices of animals." In the midst of this discussion of Canada, the Pope abruptly changed the subject and said: "The night before my departure from Canada to New York, which I had never seen, I had a strange dream." But his dream was not of beautiful forests, warm with the summer sun. It was of a crowded city, frigid with the cold of a northern winter. And although he had never been there, his dream captured the way Manhattan looks and feels, after a major snow storm. "It was a terribly severe winter in New York, the city was completely covered with snow. Inhabitants were well-off and warmly dressed, and walking slowly along roads because cars, due to mountains of snow, could not be operated. I was happy that I could walk on top of the snow on avenues of white. "All my physical effort was spent on walking. To this day, pictures of huge apartment houses on both sides of the avenue are instilled in my mind, and the doormen quickly closing and opening entrance doors as though trying to prevent humanity and warmth from escaping. "On top of the snow, I noticed a brown cat emerge from a side street and walk on the snow. I looked closer, and to my surprise, saw that this big cat was being followed by six small brown-and- white kittens, all of them following the big brown cat in a perfect line. The mother cat looked back from time to time to see if her babies were there, but her main concern was to reach the entrance door. I presumed she was trying to find warmth for herself and her children, but as soon as she reached the door, a man in a well-pressed uniform, jumped at her with a broom and chased them away. I followed this procession and prepared to deliver a speech to the doorman. I opened my mouth and tried to complain, 'Where is your proverbial American generosity? Where is your American good heart and fair play? Let them in. Let them in!! "I tried to speak, but the words would not come out. Maybe I was afraid of the doorman with the broom. I started searching my cassock pockets for a piece of bread, found some crumbs and put them on my palms, calling: 'Kitty, kitty, kitty.' But the words would not come from my supposedly intelligent mouth. Instead, the wind blew the crumbs from my palm and I said, 'what can I do? I can't speak to the cats. I can't speak to the doorman. But there are many hungry birds. They might pick up the crumbs.' "Again, I walked after the cats, now with a pain in my chest, feeling tremendous cold. On the left I saw a

Welcome to the group. I communicate with my cats fine on my own. Maybe that's not normal, and I'm special too. From reading your website, possibly the reason why I can't announce myself as a real pet physic is because I have too much mind clutter. I never have been able to meditate or clear my mind, probably because of my ADD. I continue to play the lottery in hopes that some day I, too, can be free of working a normal full time job, though not ever even having been fortunate enough to have been part of corporate america and even having the luxury of a nice air conditioned office job, like you did (I work long hot days in a pizza shop in 100 degree misery). I have worked with animals in the past, and think I would rather work in a job I hate rather than have to be exposed to the humans who own the animals I could be working with, and the other humans who I am forced to work with around the animals who do not necessarily have the animals best interests at heart (it's bad enough working with other humans when some animal's happiness is not involved). I worked for a vet once, as an assistant, and she really turned me off, she was in it only for the money, and did not even tell people all the options that existed for their pets (no wheelchairs for disabled pets, no treatments for FELV or FIV, no alternatives to declaws). If I had the power to help animals, I don't think I could rightfully rationalize only helping those who's human's could afford to pay for my help, and basing my help on how much money I could make, rather than the animal's best interests (and it's really sad that so many people in the pet care industry do this!). So that's why I don't make my living working with animals, though I really feelthat working with animalsis my calling, because society forces us to live a life that requires money, and I can't condone making money off of any animals in any way. Anyways, it's nice that you don't have my moral confines, and have found a way to help animals and make money and not feel guilty about it. Sounds like, from your website, you've become something of a celebrity in the pet psychic circles, with all your clinics and such, I just hope you can stay true to yourself in the long run. Reminds me of the horse guy, Pat Parelli, he started out with a new way of working with horses, and now's he's a big star, makes a ton of money doing his thing. John Lyons is probably worse than him, having created a whole lines of gadgets that you have to buy to use his program. I just don't understand why people can't be happy with helping others freely. We live in a very sad society, I guess I just don't fit in, thankfully! Anyways, back to the hello, and off my soapbox! I have four cats, and one new rescue who will be one of my cats from now on. Doobie, the fat lovable cat, who I bottle raised. His momma was a foster cat of mine, and I kept him from her litter. He's my baby, and is very happy and lacks for nothing really (he never asks for much anyways). Miranda, the bitchy, unhappy, and always paranoid cat,who hates everyone and everything, except every so often when we are both alone, she comes to me and we agree on things and she gets some loving. I got her at a very unstable time in my life,and herproblems are all feeding off of my own issues and her unstable upbringing (she wishes I would get more therapy). Then there's Tigger, I got him from a dairy farm to replace Moogie, my FELV+ kitty who died. He knows he's my support mechanism, and he always gives me lots of love and understanding, and is always there for me to talk to (he reminds me how unimportant the little things are, and reminds me to take it easy, like he does). That leaves Mythic, a stray I took in a few winters ago, when is was -30 outside. He just kinda lives here. He's jealous of the others because I have not formed the bonds with him that I have with the rest, so he's always seeking attention, and I'm always turning him away. Sometimes he gets fed up with it, and tries to run out the door, because this stresses me out, and he wants to remind me that I do care about him, and that I should pay him more attention. Then there is my new rescue, Bones. She has a broken back. She is here to save me from myself. My chance at redemption for all my past mistakes, which I'd rather not

Re: Nina -wait a minute...is that a dragon?!
To quote MC, hee hee hee. I have a good feeling about Tobbie's special needs diminishing when he's adjusted to living in a home with great care and less stress being directed at him. It must have been hellish living with an old lady with diminishing faculties. I placed this wonderful older Tuxedo cat, (with my understanding sister, God bless her), that had been trying his damnedest to take care of an elderly mom with dementia. You should see the way he's begun to thrive! He looks 5 years younger and he's so happy! Have a talk with Coebeio, before you bring Tobbie home. Get her on board with helping to care for him. I'm sure you'll figure out what's best for everyone concerned. Oh, and I know the 'eyes averted' thing doesn't work. I can't bring myself to really do it anyway!

Stronghold is the European/Australian label for Revolution in the USA. It is made by the drug company Pfizer. Revolution and Stronghold are the EXACT same drug, just labeled and approved for different countries. You need to IMMEDIATELY wash your cat, ASAP! The drug continues to seep into the blood stream for 3 days after being applied! This COULD be an adverse reaction! Here is the website for Revolution, and the PDF file of all the indications of the drug: http://www.revolution4cats.com http://www.revolution4cats.com/docs/pdf/FullInfill.pdf SAFETY REVOLUTION has been tested safe in over 100 different pure and mixed breeds of healthy dogs and over 15 different pure and mixed breeds of healthy cats, including pregnant and lactating females, breeding males and females, puppies six weeks of age and older, kittens eight weeks of age and older, and avermectin-sensitive collies. A kitten, estimated to be 56 weeks old (0.3 kg), died 8 12 hours after receiving a single treatment of REVOLUTION at the recommended dosage. The kitten displayed clinical signs which included muscle spasms, salivation and neurological signs. The kitten was a stray with an unknown history and was malnourished and underweight (see PRECAUTIONS). ADVERSE REACTIONS Pre-approval clinical trials. Following treatment with REVOLUTION, transient localized alopecia with or without inflammation at or near the site of application was observed in approximately 1% of 691 treated cats. Other signs observed rarely (0.5% of 1743 treated cats and dogs) included vomiting, loose stool or diarrhea with or without blood, anorexia, lethargy, salivation, tachypnea, and muscle tremors.Post-approval experienceIn addition to the aforementioned clinical signs that were reported in pre-approval clinical trials, there have been reports of pruritis, urticaria, erythema, ataxia, fever, and rare reports of death. There have also been rare reports of seizures in dogs (see WARNINGS). Here is the only info online for the actual brand Stronghold: http://www.emea.eu.int/vetdocs/PDFs/EPAR/stronghold/V-050-PI-EN.pdf Instructions specifically state: Do not use in cats that are suffering from concomitant disease, or are debilitated and underweight (for size and age).disease, or are debilitated and underweight.

Words of Wisdom from Dogs and Hamsters
Dawn Baumann Brunke, Author of Animal Voices and Awakening to Animal Voices wrote an interesting article entitled Awakening to Animal Voices: Animal Guides and Teachers which was published by www.soulfulliving.com The article contains excerpts from Dawns new book, Awakening to Animal Voices, and can be found at http://www.soulfuliving.com/awakening_to_animals.htm Excerpts from sessions I did with my Weimaraners Max and Barney, and two dwarf hamsters named Emily and Princess, were included in Awakening to Animal Voices. Here are a few of their messages. The question asked of Max and Barney was what did they want humanity to know about their species/about them: Max: My world is one of quiet contemplation, and moments of great joy. I am not here to prove anything or to be the best at something. I Am Who I Am, and that means that whatever I do or exhibit or feel and share with my beloveds is the core essence of me. Honesty, Courage, Honor, those are important to me. That is what I am about. I am also Love, big Love. And I am exactly where I am supposed to be, with you and with those you share your home and your life with. I assist you at times with your work, and that is something we have done before (in other lifetimes). This time I have helped you open to your abilities by working with divine, cosmic energy and bringing that into our home. My life is a good place to be. Barney: We are here to bring your [humanitys] heart out to help you feel what you [humanity] know deep inside to be true that you are worthy of the love that you show to us. We show it back to you; look in our eyes, you see it there. We do not lie. What you see is what you get. Sometimes you do not look closely, you are too afraid. You do not want to see yourself, to give acceptance and love and graciousness and compassion to yourself. We hold it for you to see and that is the truth. Be true to your spirit, your self, your way of being. Do not walk as another does. Walk as you are meant to walk. Be who you are. You are here at this moment, in this lifetime, to accomplish great things. The question posed to Emily and Princess was what do you want young people to know? Emily and Princess: (Emily) The world is evolving quickly, much more quickly than many know. This is a good thing, and long overdue, but also in its time. Humanity is having to make quicker choices about self, about happiness, about prosperity, about peace at home and within and in distant places, all at the same time. It is a confusing time, and a wondrous time because you are in the midst of a dramatic evolutional stage. Be part of the evolution, choose to take the next step forward and up, look for what brings you peace and joy, and then look for how you can serve others. Or, instead, you may find that serving others in whatever manner whether that be serving the best hamburger with Love, or caring for a person or animal with Love who is making their transition from this world, or planting a bountiful garden with Love, or whatever you choose to do will help you heal your heart and soul if they have been bruised. Whatever you choose to do in this life, do it the very best you can, and with Love. It will serve you well, more so than you can ever measure. (Princess) This is a great planet! We are all here for one reason soul growth. We all have choices, and each choice we make sets into play a chain of events. We will not see the end of the chain, or perhaps even past the second link, but know that your actions and thoughts and words matter. Know that you are important to this world, to its evolution, and your contribution of self, of your unique self, your talents and skills and personal touch, are needed and very, very important. Do not underrate yourself in any way. If you find yourself in such a place, climb right back out and keep going. The world needs you, and you need the world (yes, even those of you who think you may not). Loneliness is not a place you need to live, it is simply a choice you make, for those who choose to make it. We say, if you find yourself there, please come back to us. We the collective We of humanity and non-human beings need you. Truly. Kat Kathleen A.

Reincarnation/Healing-Health Issues
Here's a post I made to another list that you might find interesting. I have had a few cases of animals living past lives as humans; I'm sure I'd have had more by now except most clients don't ask me to explore that question with their animal friend. Penelope Smith, in When Animals Speak, says Most domesticated animals that I have communicated with have had experience in other lives as humans. They are comfortable with human thinking and human problems. They enjoy helping people through their often complex and emotionally turbulent lives. They often easily accept being a cat or horse, even though they haven't inhabited those forms before. In previous lives as humans, they usually loved those animals, understood them, and identified with them, or they are very conscious of their choice of species and quick to learn how to enjoy life as that animal. Some animals who have been humans before tend to act like, even demand, the privileges of human living. Animals who have had no human experience, or have never been a domesticated animal, can be fearful of humans and find it hard to tune into often confusing or chaotic human thinking. Some animals may just want to hide out for a while and be feral, while they maintain a minimal or safe contact with humans. They have made some decision to learn from the path of being close to humans, but it may take them awhile to respond to humans as something besides predators or alien beings. By respecting their choices and understanding their situation, we can greatly assist fearful animals to progress in the direction of amiable coexistence. Experiencing and mastering another way of life is usually the main purpose for changing forms and seeking totally different circumstances. An individual's passion or major concern usually has some past-life thread. For example, people working now to rescue or assist animals may have tried to help animals for lifetimes, or they may be attempting to make up for having hurt them in the past. Horses who easily learn and excel at dressage may have been equine champions previously. Horses who resist an activity may have mastered that activity already and wish to go on to something else. [pp 177-178, When Animals Speak] Penelope has a whole chapter on this topic, as well as a section on how animals perceive death including from the soul perspective. Your animal friend is here in this form at this time because s/he chose to be. With sick pets, we humans have to be careful not to project our desires or need to heal onto an animal when it would interfere in some way with their life path. It's a fine line; we want our animal friends to have the best lives possible, but we have to take care not to force them to move along because it pains us or disconcerts us to see them struggling in some way. They have to want to move forward, that's the key. You can certainly talk with them and ask them how s/he views her/his life with you, what her/his life purpose is, and is there anything you can do to assist her/him with that and with her/his health issues. Your animal may be here in service to others (such as the joy s/he brings to animals and humans alike) because s/he is making up for something he did in past life/lives. For example, [I'm using he as an example], he wants, he chose (at the soul level, before incarnating), the experiences he is going through. There is learning there for him, even if it just looks painful to us. We can offer assistance; it's sometimes hard to know when it's assistance and when we're forcing their perceived issue into the light rather than letting them get to that place of enlightenment on their own. He may also be here to teach others (only he knows what he's here to teach, so you'd have to ask him), and to offer others unconditional love as well. Sit quietly with him, get centered, come from the heart, and ask him what he might need from you to make this life the best it can be. He may need nothing from you except love, and necessary (but not invasive) medical care from time to time. You can offer him Bach or other vibrational essences (first send the concept of essences to him and ask him if those sound and feel useful/helpful/appealing to him, then trust your instincts), energetic healing (such as Reiki or other forms), color therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, herbs . . . . Ask him what he would find helpful and then be open to what he sends you. He may say nothing; he may send you a color, a feeling, a knowing . . . trust your instincts there. It's always important to ask the animal if they wish healing assistance before providing it (this is a principle of Reiki and other energetic healing modalities -- the being has to want it and be open to it, it's never sent without permission). I learned this lesson in a big way from my dog, Max (he showed me a previous life as a dolphin). I worried about him incessantly for several years because he had many, many health issues (mostly due to vaccinosis). Two
Re: Kat - Drawing disease to our lives
I absolutely believe that every being that comes into my life arrives to teach me a lesson. I also believe that everything that happens to me is also happening to teach me a lesson, and allowing me to learn from it. I probably have not learned them all at the time, or even yet, but I know it all happened for a reason. I have so much capacity for compassion that I feel that these beings needing it come to me because there is a gap in them that I fill, and visa-versa, in me that they fill, almost in a purely scientific way. Like an empty vacuum being filled with air. Everything fits together in this world, where one thing is missing, something replaces it. If we make the right choices and take the correct actions, things fit together in a harmonious way, creating light and goodness, and truth. If we make the wrong choices, and make bad moves, things do not run so harmoniously, and we get the sensations of unwellness, conflict or discord. When things happen in our lives, we need to be aware of all of it's meanings, and then carefully make the decisions we need to make, and take the actions we need to take to put the situation to the best use in our lives, then we need to carefully find peace in what we have done, and file the information gathered from the happening in our consciousness, so we can actively recall and use the lessons it left with us. Each sick cat we take in leaves us with at least one lesson learned, most likely at least 4 or 5 lessons. The saying "you learn from your mistakes" rings negative to us, but in truth, it's just how we learn. It's only negative if you go through the mistakes, and then don't learn from them, and end up repeating them over and over again. There's another saying "history repeats itself". In that, exists proof that as a whole, humanity does not effectively learn from it's mistakes, and make the correct moves and take the correct actions as a whole. Each one of us who begins to learn, and use the lessons in our lives to create positive energy within ourselves and the world around us, is one more person changing the shape of our society and species, for the betterment of us all.

Faye, Did you read the article posted about methods of finding lost animals based on their personalities? Why don't you set a humane trap in the area you spotted him? If you don't own a trap, you can usually rent them from feed stores, or get a rescue in your area that cares about ferals to help. Write to me off list if you want some suggestions about effectively setting the trap. I know how hard the 'not knowing' is. I would trust your instincts on this, do you think he's still alive? Even if that wasn't Simba you spotted, somebody's out there that could use your help. You spotted that cat for a reason. Let me know what you decide to do. Nina Lewis Faye wrote: Nina, the cat I saw was thin and looked like he had lost weight recently. Simba is a good hunter and there is plenty of mice, rats, and voles for him to eat and he does eat them. I wish I could have had a couple of more minutes to look at him to make sure. I was so stunned at seeing him in that place, that my mind wasn't at its best. */Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED]/* wrote: Oh Faye, he's such a handsome man! I'm so sorry to hear Simba is still missing. He must be being fed by someone, if that was him. Have you done all the things that Gloria and her pals did in searching for Sam? Even if you have, it might be worth starting over. If someone has been feeding him, I'm sure they don't know that he has been missed all this time. I hope that was him, and that he'll finally be reunited with you somehow and soon. Nina Lewis Faye wrote: Would you please do a reading for my baby, Simba? I lost him months ago and a few weeks ago, I thought I saw him. However, he climbed an incline that I could not climb and took off before I could verify that it was him. It may not have been him. However when I called his name, he stopped and looked at me. However, I could not look at him long enough to really tell for 100%. He was probably chased out of my yard by stray dogs. The dogs have been destroyed. They were vicious dogs.

need prayers please!
One of my 4 year old babies, a mutt doggy, Corky (mix of Scottie, Westie and Schnauzer) all of sudden started having bloody stools early this morning or I should say, there really was no stools, just tons and tons of dark red bloods coming out like a flood so much came out that I almost fainted I never seen so much blood at one place she has also thrown up I took her to her the emergency clinic getting some IV and antibiotics she bleeded there also. After some testing, they narrowed it down to a couple of things and they are hoping that fluid therapy and the antibiotics will treat her - please pray for Corks recovery a poor baby, she is very scared there, she is never out of the house and I really want to be able to bring her home soon! Also, last Saturday, I rescued a boy kitty who I had been feeding for several months now. I noticed that he lost lots of weight (I hadnt seen him for a couple of weeks) and I took him to the vet everything seems to be OK except that on ELISA, he tested positive on FIV now I am having Cornell Lab to do the western blot (as I had a couple of cats who tested positive on FIV via ELISA, and ended up negative later) anyway, now I have to figure out where to place him he must have belonged to someone a long time ago, as he is very friendly and used to people. I talked to Carl (I named him Carl) via AC Carl told my AC that he used to be an indoor kitty when she was a kitten, and somehow he became an outdoor kitty, and somehow, then he did not have a home anywhere I asked via AC, if he would like to stay with me and to be an indoor kitty, he said he would like that very much I hope his lost weight is just a temporary, and I am so praying that the western blot will come back as negative please also pray for Carls well-being, he is such a sweet baby, and he has had a rough life since he had lost home
RE: and one more prayers also please!
I also have a stray kitty whom I have been feeding, and who seems to be having some type of problems I sort of felt something was wrong a while ago, but I was not sure exactly what it was but yesterday morning, when George (his name) came to eat, he did not touch the food at all and I am so worried according to my AC, he might have a tooth infection and might have some problem with kidney I need to trap him and take him to a vet ASAP last night, I saw him in my neigh hood (under the car which is his favorite place) and I set a trap, and he went inside a trap, but something (weed) got caught in the trap door and the trap did not close and he was able to get out from the trap (I am so stupid not being so careful) now I am worried that he wouldnt go into the trap Please pray that I can trap him very very soon so that I can take him to the vet and take care of him George told my AC that he is willing to try to be an indoor kitty if I really wanted him to, but if he is not happy and miserable there, he would like to be back on street and I promised that I would do let him go if that happened to be the case he is a tom cat, but he is not aggressive type at all. My priority is to catch him first before his condition gets any worse. Please please pray that he will come to me and I can trap him with no problem very very soon. Thank you!

Hideyo, Many prayers coming for Cork and Carl - FYI, I use homeopathic Arnica for bleeding, usually. Use it on myself for nosebleed and I used it on my beloved kitty Nicky before he died - mouth bleeding, vet said cancer. Works great.

Also, last Saturday, I rescued a boy kitty who I had been feeding for several months now. I noticed that he lost lots of weight (I hadnt seen him for a couple of weeks) and I took him to the vet everything seems to be OK except that on ELISA, he tested positive on FIV now I am having Cornell Lab to do the western blot (as I had a couple of cats who tested positive on FIV via ELISA, and ended up negative later) anyway, now I have to figure out where to place him he must have belonged to someone a long time ago, as he is very friendly and used to people. I talked to Carl (I named him Carl) via AC Carl told my AC that he used to be an indoor kitty when she was a kitten, and somehow he became an outdoor kitty, and somehow, then he did not have a home anywhere I asked via AC, if he would like to stay with me and to be an indoor kitty, he said he would like that very much I hope his lost weight is just a temporary, and I am so praying that the western blot will come back as negative please also pray for Carls well-being, he is such a sweet baby, and he has had a rough life since he had lost home Mayer, Brown, Rowe Maw LLP is moving our Chicago office to the Hyatt Center, 71 S.

RE: AC-Simba
Are you planning to consult with Kat on Simba? I hope you will it might give you a good clue as to how to find him I will be also praying that you and Simba will be re-united very soon. I have been re-united with a cat who had been missing months in the past dont give up he needs you to continue to look for him. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lewis Faye Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 2:54 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: AC-Simba I did read the article. It made some great points. There are several problems. The reason I didn't chase after him that day is because I couldn't climb the cliff and it was fenced off and posted to boot. The posting is a major problem. The thing is people in this area rarely post keep out signs. It makes me wonder if the owners are operating a meth lab which is currently in epidemic in our rural area. It is a new development but we have had 2 houses explode within the last 6 months. On this land, nearest house is well off the road past the signs. In our part of the world, people are very friendly and don't get bent out of shape with their neighbors chasing a cat onto their land but these same folks don't post signs either. Plus, the land is fenced with barb wire and very thick with brush. The cat I sawmight not be him. There was an orange tabby cat run over on that same street. I stopped by that dead body every day for 2 weeks and examined every hair on the body. It wasn't Simba but I couldn't get it out of my mind that it was and had to keep reassuring myself. I see a red or orange tabby and I think Simba. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Faye, Did you read the article posted about methods of finding lost animals based on their personalities? Why don't you set a humane trap in the area you spotted him? If you don't own a trap, you can usually rent them from feed stores, or get a rescue in your area that cares about ferals to help. Write to me off list if you want some suggestions about effectively setting the trap. I know how hard the 'not knowing' is. I would trust your instincts on this, do you think he's still alive? Even if that wasn't Simba you spotted, somebody's out there that could use your help. You spotted that cat for a reason. Let me know what you decide to do. Nina Lewis Faye wrote: Nina, the cat I saw was thin and looked like he had lost weight recently. Simba is a good hunter and there is plenty of mice, rats, and voles for him to eat and he does eat them. I wish I could have had a couple of more minutes to look at him to make sure. I was so stunned at seeing him in that place, that my mind wasn't at its best. */Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/* wrote: Oh Faye, he's such a handsome man! I'm so sorry to hear Simba is still missing. He must be being fed by someone, if that was him. Have you done all the things that Gloria and her pals did in searching for Sam? Even if you have, it might be worth starting over. If someone has been feeding him, I'm sure they don't know that he has been missed all this time. I hope that was him, and that he'll finally be reunited with you somehow and soon. Nina Lewis Faye wrote: Would you please do a reading for my baby, Simba? I lost him months ago and a few weeks ago, I thought I saw him. However, he climbed an incline that I could not climb and took off before I could verify that it was him. It may not have been him. However when I called his name, he stopped and looked at me. However, I could not look at him long enough to really tell for 100%. He was probably chased out of my yard by stray dogs. The dogs have been destroyed. They were vicious dogs.

What a story! You really should write something! "Sam on the Lamb" lol. tonya"Gloria B.

I went right over, and there was Sam under her van in the driveway. Wow!I couldn't squeeze under the van, but stretched out and gave Sam some Fancy Feast. I had to slide out at bit and at some point Sam got scared and ran into the back yard. We attracted some of the neighborhood kids, too.Long story short, he jumped over a fence, went under a vacant house, where there was a live possum and an armadillo, so pretty soon he was outa there - I was glad! Headed for the next house and under it. By that time, Susan made it over to where it was all happening.Fortunately, the house he was under had only one opening, and had a pretty neat large crawl space. He kept hiding behind the big air conditioning stuff and we couldn't get to him.Susan - in spite of spiders, dirt and claustrophobia - crawled under and set a couple of traps laced with cat food, mackerel, salmon juice, and a cup of milk. We sat in the driveway just about all day, except for a 2 hour break, checking under the house and eating junk food.About 9:15 or so tonight, Sam just walked up to the access door. Susan said, he's right there! We talked to him and I reached my hand in and petted him, I think he remembered me - nd pretty soon grabbed him. He tried to get away, and Susan scruffed him and got him to the car and WE GOT OUR SAM BACK - YEAA!

Re: Healing-Health Issues (bach flower essences, alt therapies)
Bach Flower EssencesRescue RemedyCan I use this stuff on myself, and what will it do for me? Anything that will help me concentrate and pay attention to my job? I already carry around a bag of stones and crystals that were advised to me as possibly helpful for my issues, and have a rock that sits beside my head on my nightstand at night to help with nightmares (it's actually to help stoprepeating negative patterns, but my nightmares have always been re-occurring, so that's why I chose it). Anybody here ever use crystals on cats, like in their bedding, or made into collars or pendants on collars? I'm getting one made for Bones, healing stones and crystals, for mind and body healing. What about magnets? Anyone ever have any success with using magnetic therapy on their cats for various ills (particularly interested in if it helps traumatic injuries). I'm already getting Bones a orthopedic foam bad with heat and massage options, plus going to start her on crondroitin, MSM, and vitamin C supplement (it's made just for joint and bone issues). http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=10354N=2001+113677It's the Flex-care MSM granules on that page. Was considering getting some magnets to put in the bedding. Any other suggestions that might speed her healing time? She's doing really good so far, I just want to do everything I can. She's going to physical therapy with me in 2 weeks, and I also have the number of an acupuncturist, but have not called her yet. She does not seem to be in very much pain anymore, the drugs the vet gave me for her pain seem to really work great. You guys ever heard of Metacam? I give her a dose every 3 days, and she seems so much better since starting it.

Re: Healing-Health Issues (bach flower essences, alt therapies)
Jenn, I'm so very glad to hear bones is more comfortable and doing well. Give her a nuzzle for me. Is she gaining any weight? Something that I'm going to look into is Lyprinol. Anyone heard of it? I don't know very much about it yet. It's a human anti-inflammatory supplement that's suppose to be good for asthma and arthritis. If it checks out as something I think will be safe and effective, I'll try it for Zevon, (my German Shepherd with Degenerative Myelopathy) and Gypsy, (my IBD kitty). Here's the link http://www.lyprinol.com/home.htm A couple of women on my IBD list are using it and have had good results so far. If you check it out let me know what you think. Nina
Fwd: Do NOT buy Hartz products
I don't remember if I sent this to the group or not. I also made a 'handout' in microsoft word that I'm going to hang up in stores that sell hartz products. If anyone wants it let me know and I'll send it to you. You can't send attachments onlist. t Please pass on to anyone you know who has pets. The EPA has long known thatHartz products cause deaths in animals. Evidently now they've admitted it, but they've worked out a deal where they still get to sell what they have already produced until it runs out ==News for Release: Friday, June 3, 2005U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Hartz to Relabel and Cancel Flea and Tick Drops for Cats and KittensContact: Eryn Witcher, 202-436-2215/ [EMAIL PROTECTED](Washington, D.C.-- June 3, 2005) At EPA's insistence, Hartz MountainCorp. has agreed to cancel uses of several flea and tick products thatmay be associated with a range of adverse reactions, including hairloss, salivation, tremors and numerous deaths in cats and kittens. Thecommon pet product brand names which are involved in this actioninclude: Hartz Advanced Care 4 in 1 Flea Tick Drops Plus+ for Catsand Kittens; Hartz Advanced Care Brand Flea and Tick Drops Plus+ forCats and Kittens; Hartz Advanced Care 3 in 1 Flea Tick Drops for Cats and Kittens; and Hartz Advanced Care Once-A-Month Flea and Tick Drops for Cats and Kittens.In the short term, the agreement calls for immediate relabeling of theproducts. The new labeling will state that the products of concern arenot to be used on the most vulnerable animals, including cats andkittens that weigh less than 6 pounds, cats older than 13 years, orkittens less than 5 months old.Hartz will stop all new production of the cat and kitten products bySeptember 30, 2005, and not sell or distribute any affected productafter December 31, 2005. The measures announced today will help ensure pets are protected. Pet owners should pay close attention to new labels and exercise good judgment when choosing pet products."EPA is taking this action because there are safety concerns with theseproducts,'' said Susan B. Hazen, principal deputy assistantadministrator at EPA. "Pet owners should be alerted to these concerns,and may choose to transition to alternative products. We take seriouslyour obligation to ensure that pesticide products, when used as labeled,are safe."The company agreed to a prohibition on any remaining retail sales byMarch 31, 2006. This orderly transition allows consumers anddistributors to move to alternatives flea and tick products and will bestrictly monitored. Hartz will also be notifying their distributors andretailers of the changes in order to ensure a workable phaseout.As with any pesticide product, all label directions and precautionsshould be carefully followed to ensure the product is used correctly.It is prudent to follow the new restrictions for all products, includingexisting stocks.After a public 30-day comment period, EPA intends to issue acancellation order and an amended registration, which will be effectiveby October 31, 2005.
