Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about Ginger. I hope you find peace in the fact that she was with you for a good amount of time, was happy, and her end was quick and not drawn out so her pain was minimal. I'm sure she appreciated everything you did for her. Marissa On 2/23/06, Belinda Sauro

Thanks, Nina. These old fellas are just very special, aren't they. We all were thinking that by now Mr. Kitty's owner - they guy who got married - must be paying for giving Mr. Kitty up -- by living with a very controlling wife! We all think he deserves it. I've got to wonder how much you love

It seems to me that Mr. Kitty paid a very dear price to give his owner an opportunity to see just how bad his judgement in women must be! I do hope they both somehow benefit from his sacrifice. They must define love in a very different way then we do. Thank you again for being there to ease

He paid a very dear price, indeed. I think the couple of months he spent caged at the vet, so traumatized that he was considered feral, damaged his health to the point that it shortened his life.Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It seems to me that Mr. Kitty paid a very dear price to give his owner

Hey Cindy, Equistim or something like that is probably what the vet called it. It is the same thing as ImmunoRegulin. Is your kitty getting the IR injected into a vein in the arm/leg or are you just giving kitty the injection in the skin (like sub-Q)? :) Wendy --- cindy reasoner [EMAIL
