Hideyo My heart goes out to you. You lost that little Angel, and you think it was your fault. If only all humans were that hard on themselves... You're a great person Hideyo, and an even better kitty mom. Please don't be so hard on yourself. Accidents happen and you know if the shoe were on the other foot, that you would be forgiving. If someone accidentally caused you bodily harm, you most likely would not have anger in your heart for them. Try not to be harder on yourself than you are on others. Those of us who are like that are our worst critics. That little angel was probably needed somewhere else. Maybe Spain, or maybe close to home where she would fill a need for a lost human.

OT: Smookie and my life
Hey guys, I wanted to update you on the little kitty that I adopted. I decided to name her Smookie after a black cat that my brothers had when they were younger and who disappeared too soon after they got her. Smookie went to the vet yesterday to get spayed. Her spay went well. She was up this morning eating and drinking and going potty and playing. Just normal kitty business. She seems fine. I was a little panicked to see that Marylyn had lost two of her babies four days after she had them spayed, so I will be watching Smookie closely these next few days. It's amazing how much she reminds me of Cricket. This morning she flopped her legs behind her while laying on the bed, just like Cricket did. Some of you might think I'm crazy, but if you saw what I see, you might actually consider that Cricket is somehow a part of Smookie. As far as my life goes otherwise, I could use some prayers. I am feeling a huge amount of stress right now. There are only 6 more days of tax season left, 5 of which I have to work (in addition to my regular full time job), and they are talking about drawing straws for who will work on Easter. Last night I got home at 9:45 and I have a feeling the rest of the week will be the same way. In retrospect, the cost of spending so much time away from my family has not been worth it, but I cannot just quit at this point. At the same time, my husband and I are tiling almost our entire house. We are trying to get most of it done before I have surgery on my feet on the 25th because I will be down for several weeks and will not be able to help him much. I am also a little nervous about having my surgery, although very happy I'm getting it done since I've had chronic pain for years with both feet. In addition to all of this, I just got an email from one of my nephew's teachers telling me he has been acting out recently at school, like he did when he was first enrolled last fall. I have noticed some of the same behavior at home. I know part of it is that I have been gone a lot working this second job, but most of it is most likely because he is feeling anxiety at having to go back to live with his mom as soon as school is out. He does not want to go. I am going to be heartbroken when he leaves. If I knew he would be going somewhere where he would get the attention and love he deserves, it would be ok. But I know he's not, and it breaks my heart, and I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal with him leaving. So all in all, I pretty much feel like I'm going to fall apart at any minute. Your prayers right now would be invaluable. Thanks for caring guys, Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

RE: Smookie and my life
Dear Wendy, My prayers are with you all the things that you are going through in your life. I certainly don't feel alone that many people on the list are going though a very hectic life as I am - I am glad about Smookie's surgery went very well, Wendy. Please not too worry, I have a feeling that Smookie is going to be just fine in her recovery and I will definitely keep praying for Smookie as well. PS. Cricket might be Smookie's guardian angel and she might be right besides Smookie and that's why Smookie reminds you so much of Cricket.. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wendy Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 11:02 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: OT: Smookie and my life Hey guys, I wanted to update you on the little kitty that I adopted.

Sandra,I was so sorry to read this. You have truly tried everything you could for Tabbs. It sounds like he was ready to go. I know you're going to miss him and hurt for him, but he's in a better place now.Take care, tonyaSandra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Tabbs Spain, crossed over, 8th AprilI am heart broken, but after Tabbs Long and brave fight, I had my Lady vetcome out to the House to put My brave boy to sleep, He had so many trips tothe vets in the last month that I did not have the heart for that last one,when I knew that he would know where he was going. I have known we werelosing the fight for the last 3 weeks, He had lost interest in his food andalso had lost a lot of weight, but was still enjoying life up until the last2 days. he did not wish too be with me any longer sleeping or for sittingon my lap. and on the Friday I had called the vet out, I picked him up forhis last cuddle, but he wanted to be put down, and when I put him on thefloor,for him to go back to his hiding spot in the video unit, he rush outside into the garden, and did a wee, but then instead of going to one of hisold sleeping spot, he disappeared down the into the Spanish under growthwhere I could not follow him, due to us living on a mountain type range. Allday I called him and all night, up to 2.30 in the morning, I was stillexpecting him to turn up on the end of my bed, but I was scared that he wasnot coming back, and had gone off to die.Back up again 4 , and 6, still no Tabbs, by 8 o clock I knew he was notgoing to turn up,So on with my walking shoes and a lot of protection clothing, plus mywalking stick, and some rope, and down the mountain I went calling andpraying, but knowing unless I could see him, I would not be able to recoverhim, due to not responding to me on other occasions, when he wanted to bealone.one hour later and a little bit worst for wear due to the heavy undergrowth, I hear 3 meow's from him, but for the next 20 mins nothing, but atleast I knew he was down there some where, and a lot further down than Iwould have though he would have gone. I shouted to my husband to get the carand drive down to the bottom of the valley to see if could hear him or seehim , but no luck there. But my young cat Tiger who follows me every where,had followed me down through the thick under growth and was further down,than me, but he had found Tabbs, who was behind a big stone rock, it took me about 10mins to get to him, But he would not come to me, I now had the problem ofclimbing back up with him in my arms, which to begin with was OK, as he washappy to have a cuddle, after 10 mins with one arm round him and the othertrying to grab plant life to pull myself back up the hill, I was havingtrouble hanging onto him,But 20 mins later, and nearly having a heart attack we got to the top. Oh Iwas so happy, to have found him, I had thoughts that I would have alwayshave been looking down that valley and wondering where he was, and neverknowing how long he was there before he past on.My FELV boy Chang who pass on last summer, did this to us, and also My FELVBoy Rocky , he went missing for 3 days, but came back to die, they whereboth, too wild too do any treatment with. But Tabbs who was also a stray wassomeone's pet at some time,Sadly Tabbs did not wish me to hold him or give him cuddles, and went backinto his hiding place of the Video, so the phone call I had made the daybefore had to be repeated, No interest in food or water, and he lookedreally fed up. I spent a couple of hours sitting next to him and giving himmy contact and talking to him, while we waited for the vet to come. Eventhen he tried to do a little roll for me to tickle his tummy. My best Boy.The end was easy and very peace full for him, thanks to my vet.If we could have got the epogen, then may be he would have had a betterchance, for any one interested in the care Tabbs had or the history onfeline interferon and interferon A which he was treated with, then when I amfeeling better, I will give any information that may or may not be ofinterest.Also if we had started the Interferon early may be things would have had abetter ending.I do believe that the Interferon did give Tabbs a couple of extra months. hewas ill at Xmas time, so who knows.but Thanks to you all and this web site I do feel that I was able to do morefor Tabbs, than I would have with out it. Thank you.please Belinda would you add Tabbs to CLS list, do I need to send you aphoto of Tabbs.

Easter Lilies toxic to cats!
Easter Lilies Holly Nash, DVM, MS Veterinary Services Department, Drs. Foster Smith, Inc. Easter lilies, and other lilies can be toxic to cats, causing kidney failure and death. All parts of the lily can be toxic, and eating just one leaf can result in severe poisoning. After eating a portion of an Easter lily, a cat will generally vomit and become depressed within 2 hours. The vomiting may subside, but the cat will not eat and continue to become more depressed. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you know or suspect your cat has eaten any part of an Easter lily. Treatment includes causing the cat to vomit by giving an emetic, administering activated charcoal and a cathartic (stimulates bowel movements), and giving subcutaenous or intravenous fluids. A cat must be treated within 18 hours of ingesting the plant, or the damage to the kidneys will be irreversible. Other lilies which belong to this same plant species and are also toxic include tiger lilies, rubrum or Japanese showy lilies, and various day lilies. Many other bulb plants are also poisonous such as daffodils and hyacinths. http://savingspaldingpets.blogspot.com/
