OT:Kitten love!
Hi everyone, I'm up early as I have to work all weekend and I just have to tell someone how darling my kittens are. I worked late yesterday, got in dead tired at 10:30 and went into the bedroom to set the alarm. The 4 newly unsequesteredkittens came racing in and lined up in a row on the edge of the bed to get a treat. (we've beenluring them into the room at night by shaking the treat bag, guess they've got that lesson down pat!) I turned off the light and layed down, hubby stayed up to watch Letterman, but fell asleep in the lazy boy out in the tv room. Some time latter I woke up plastered with kittens. One laying on top of each arm, one on my back, and Will on my head, and all of them purring like crazy!!! Even on not much sleep, this was just pure bliss. Normallythey sleep in bed, but I'll only have one at a timesnuggled up to me.Guess they missed me while I was working late... Iadore my kittens! Beth [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dexter
Hi everyone I was just wondering if you could add Dr. Jens dog Dexter to your long list of prayers? She just found out he has congestive heart failure,he is feeling a bit better but needs prayers.She had just lost her older dog about a month ago.Thanks for all your wonderful good wishes. Sherry How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messengers low PC-to-Phone call rates.
Re: Dexter
Sending good wishes. I know how that feels. We lost our three dogs very close to together. People can live a while with congestive heart failure, though, so I hope he does. MIchelle

Re: just need to vent about my feral feluk
Jeni,You have gone through a lot to help this cat. I know I'm probably in the minority on this one, but my opinion would be to help this cat cross to the bridge. It doesn't sound like it is having a good quality of life.I had a negative feral that never let me touch her for over 10 years. But she did interact with my other cats and was not afraid or anything so I just let her be. When she got sick I didn't try to treat her because it was simply impossible, so we let her go.You're in my thoughts and prayers.tonyaJENI RECA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sorry, I just need to vent about the frustration I am going through right now with the feral feluk living in my house...I know I don't have as big as problems as everyone else, but I know some of you can sympathize with me...so the story is after our beloved papoose died of feluk, I was approached at work by the head of the HR department at my shelter and she asked me if I could take in a feluk she trapped and spayed and was going to release until they found out she was feluk. I said yes, because our feluk Hillman Waller was lonely after papoose passed on and well I was lonely too with only one cat and the three dogs in the house and I wanted to help other feluks. My husband was not too happy at all, didnt really like the idea another cat, he didnt even want papoose (but fell head over heels in love with him). So i took home this very feral black female about 5 years old feluk postive. We have had her for about 3 months and I have not gotten to touch her once, I am okay with that, but it hurts not to be able to pet her and show her I like her. She first lived in a play cage but was more freaked out about being in it and attacked me anytime I went to change the litter or feed her, I let her loose in the house. She had hiding spaces and that was fine, I checked up on her and made sure she ate, but now she has gotten into the wall of the duplex we live in. The basement was refinished into a living space that we have and they put up new walls but there is a space between the new walls and the old and she got into the there by an opening that popped open without my knowlegde and now we cant get her out! I am so frustrated and upset that she is in the wall and that she isnt going to come out for me. most likely we will have to trap her but i just think she so unhappy it seams and I feel bad for her. she is so freaked out by our dogs and our other cat tries to get close to her but she doesnt really like him. he's lonely and she must be lonely, and i fell awful about her and now she is the wall and i wrote a really long story. i know i shouldnt complain i know people out here on the list have it a lot worst then me, I am just upset and worried because who knows what is in those walls and god forbid she eats something back there she shouldnt and chews on something back there she shouldn't and well rats, i hope i dont have rats, i live in a city...sorry for venting and thank you for listening...everyone is so good to each other on this list, it's nice to havejeni

OT: Idea on raising funds for animal charities
Hi Everyone,I had an idea to try to raise some funds for animal charities on my catwebsite. I signed up for several affiliate programs which pay a percentageon the sales of their products when accessed through my site. I am going to donate 100 percent of any proceeds I receive to animal charities on a rotating basis. I am not expecting to receivea lot ofmoney from it, butI would be happy to be able to give a donation every month.Has anyone had anyexperience doing this? What would be the best way to advertise? There are rules against using the companies' names in email, spamming obviously is a no-no, andother means (such asusing the comapanies' name inmeta-tags on the web pages)are not allowed, but I canuse generic words like pet supplies, pet medications, etc. I have plenty of bandwidth to accommodate an increase in website traffic, and my site is zonedfor commercial useif I choose,so that isn't a concern..Any ideas or suggestions?Thank you!Gina in Placerville, CANo heaven wil not ever Heaven be Unless my cats are there to welcome me.--epitaph in a pet cemetery Tiggertales ~ a site about our beloved felines Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Bandy and Inky update
Thanks guys for all the well wishes...Inky is felv neg..I don't know if I sent a reply to this or not since my computer is still messed up.. Anyway, guess we will keep going one day at a time...I do know that once the fulvicin is stopped that the ringworm can return...so I am going to have to board Bandy next week as I am going out of town for a few days, but when I get back I am going to bleach his room, bowls, beds and all top to bottom just in case...He will have to continue the fulvicin a few more wks since he is only getting 1/2 the dose. Then I guess we will stop it...and see what happens...everything else seems to be doing good at this point. He just keeps amazing us all... Thanks againhope all your fur-babies are doing good today..as always you and your babies are in our thoughts and prayers.. Kerry, Bandy and Inky Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com.
