Re: ournewbaby
Lynne, Snowball is beautiful! And I could see the smile on your face as you wrote about all her funny quirks and playfulness that you're learning about. What a wonderful time this is for you and her. And such a reward for all that you went through with Boo Boo, from the loving and tenacious care to the pain in letting him go. I think Boo Boo is enjoying himself immensely, watching the both of you from the Rainbow Bridge. He's probably whispering into Snowball's ears funny little things to do to make you laugh. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: Lynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 11:14:59 AM Subject: Re: ournewbaby Oh thank you Wendy for your kind words. What a difference a day can make though. This little dickens kept us up all night. She would take turns on each side of the bed, blatting. We'd say, come up Snowy, she would, purr like a freight train, cuddle up and sleep for 20 minutes, jump down and start the whole routine again. This morning she was racing around the house like a lunatic, playing hide and seek. She was kind of naughty yesterday, stalking Lennie, ate his food, layed in his litter box. Did nothing in his litter box, just lay in it. So we changed Lennies food. This morning she ate her own stuff and is using her own litterbox and I think she understands that Lennie wants nothing to do with her. She'll still walk by him and hiss just to bug him. He doesn't care. She reminds me a bit of BooBoo, very gentle and loving but she has a more playful streak in her. Of course poor Boo was in no condition to be playful. She certainly has helped ease the pain of losing him, probably because she is pretty high maintenance. We need to comb her at least once a day and clean her eyes twice a day because they do tear a lot. I swear she would be show material if those eyes weren't so much work. I'm not going to do anything extreme with them, just bathe them with warm water a couple times a day so they don't get crusty. Yep we love her and you know, if dear Boo hadn't been with us I probably would never have been made so aware of all the devastating illnesses and terrible conditions so many of these cats live with.

Starting again
Hi everyone! Well, we are 36 hours into a two week trial adoption of a young siamese FeLV+ male. His name right now is Dusty (it might change, he doesn't really answer to anything) and he's 11 months old, seal point with icy blue eyes and a funny little trill instead of a meow. He's precious and is immediate purrs and headbutts. He's still a little unsure of his surroundings and tends to still slink places - but I did get to see him in a confident moment and he's really beautiful. He's slightly overweight so a little more pear then cat right now but hopefully the activity of both cats will help keep off the extra weight. Athena thinks she likes him so far - she has her hissy moments but she is very interested in touching him - it's really quite amusing to see. He'll sit on the floor and she'll be on the couch above him, reaching down with her paw (no claws) to just touch his back or his head tentatively!! almost as if she doesn't know if he's real. He looks a good bit like Orion who we lost but I don't think that she could be connecting them visually. We'll see how it goes - I think he's missing his friends now (he lived with 4 other positives in a foster home) -- Beth Gouldin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 940.395.5393 God Bless!!!

Re: newgirlexpected
Good for you Lynne. Congratulations! tonya Lynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got the email I've been waiting for today. I have been trying to adopt this adorable little rescued cat, persian, for a couple weeks now. I have missed BooBoo so much and have been through such emotional garbage with the previous owners of him that I just need another cat to give a good life to. This cat was rescued from a horrible person who had a pet shop in town. The humane society and SPCA went in and seized his animals and the City took his business licence away. This cat, (Snowball) was so sick, eyes swollen shut from infection, URI and it has taken the foster woman a month to get her well. She got final approval from the vet to be let go, has got her shots updated and that's that. She had been disgnosed with herpes. I know, I'm getting myself into another potential situation here, but at least I know what I have to deal with if an outbreak occurs. The vet was going to have her spayed before releasing her but I convinced him that I would do it in the near future once she has settled down in her new home. I wish I had never had BooBoo neutered so quickly after getting him. I truly believe it triggered his rapid downfall. Anyway, I now have the foster mom's personal email and we are going to start the process of her coming to me. I am just so happy to be able to look after another little lost soul. Lynne
Very, very important: Cornell website and input requested from our members
Hey guys, I called Cornell and spoke with a gentleman regarding our collective thoughts on their FeLV information (some being incorrect and out-of-date). I also forwarded some of our posts to them so they would know specifically what I was referring to. They have contacted me back (see below) and asked for our input, specifically on the incorrect information we feel is posted on their website, and also regarding the inactivation of the FeLV virus due to drying. Email me or post here anything you'd like me to forward on to this gentleman, who is a professor of virology there. He requests that information be backed up with references/studies, so add any studies or links that you can. This is a great opportunity for us, and for our FeLV+ furbabies, present and future! Thanks! Wendy P.S. I will post his .pdf document in another post since we can't have attachments here.

For the past several days, whenever I have had a few minutes, I have tried to address these concerns. First, let me address the FHC website. I totally agree that the website is not as current and up-to-date as it should be. We have already made a major commitment to totally redo the website, to make it dynamic, current, and a reliable source of information about cat health and care. This will take us a bit of time, but I hope by later this year we will have a better website to offer cat owners and veterinarians. The mere fact that some information on the website has not been updated recently does not mean it is out of date. I reviewed the posted information FeLV and failed to identify anything that is out of date. Some fairly strong statements were made on felvtalk that our information was incorrect and out of date. I would appreciate receiving details of what is not correct, with information about the reference sources. We must rely on controlled studies, not just opinion. Incidentally, I will be lecturing on FeLV to the 3rd and 4th year veterinary students at Cornell next Monday, so if there is something I should know about FeLV, please send it to me via email. Secondly, the question of inactivation of FeLV by drying needs to be addressed. Despite searching the literature several times over the past few days, I have not been able to come up with a valid, controlled study that addresses the survivability or inactivation of FeLV dried onto a surface. If your readers know of such a source, please let me know. I have put together a brief review about FeLV in the Environment in an attempt to address this issue. I have attached a pdf file of this review. Please feel free to distribute this or post it on felvtalk. Sincerely, Fred W.
