Hi Elizabeth,
So sorry to hear Mama Kitty had a seizure. I haven't had time to write
anyone much lately, but I have tried to keep up with reading the list and
have followed what you've been going through with her. It is weird, we had

Marissa,
Thinking of you and Slinky at this difficult time, so glad that he was able
to spend his life with such a good friend at his side. Peace and hugs to
you both,

I am so worried.
When I got home this afternoon, I noticed that Mama Kitty didn't have a lot
of spunk. She ate well this morning but this afternoon, she didn't get up
and go to the front door to go outside. I picked her up and took her -- she

Thank you for the comment on the poems. You were right – they could not find
a vein, but this poor cat was so bad off I don’t think he noticed. Poor
thing.

I know exactly what you are saying - I have already spent a couple
thousand dollars for transfusions on Felix - at the same time, I have
others who needs FOI or other medical treatment - it's hard to know what

I'm pretty darn sure the tax deduction would include interest on the

If you are not a non profit then you could possibly try to work with one -- so

I know FIP is hard to diagnose, but I've been through it quite a few times
