Because I'm scared. That's why. I wish I could get it to make more
sense. It had always been the plan to let her and Merls out when I got
them all vaccinated and tested. They are finally all vaccinated and
tested, and the youngest is over 1 year old, and I still can't do it.

With 8 cats, the most I have had at one time, it is too expensive. I now use
catnip and other mints planted in the yard. The cats love it and roll around
in it, have no fleas. In the winter, I break off pieces for them to play with
and eat.

If your other cats are healthy and getting vacinnated every year for FELV, why
not let her in with them. I have never seperated FELV cats from negatives and
all my other cats that have passed on were 18 and 19 yeas old, they died of old
age related problems.

I agree that sometimes people do not treat stray animals well. But in her
case there is zero chance of unwanted pregnancy.

My sadness is profound for your loss. My Zander – he of the wondrous response
to Winstrol – also finally succumbed at age 7 to a very bad heart. The vet said
she had never seen anything so bad, and yet there were no indications of any
heart problem for the whole time. My first thought –
I'm so sorry Kelley. Thank you for taking such good care of Merlin. I know
he appreciated it. <3 <3 <3

All of my cats get spayed/neutered as soon as they are old enough. Unwanted
kittens are targets for guns, cars and poison around here. People think of
strays, dog or cat s a nuisance, not worthy of respect and life.

You did NOT fail him. Heart disease is not easily detected and cats

just suddenly died at age 6 and she showed no symtoms of illness, she
simply laid down and died on the kitchen floor. This is the longest

To spay or not to spay, that is the question. I had one spayed years
ago and she came thru it fine, but this is the one who died suddenly
at age 6. Her sister was not spayed, but put on birth control and she
is still alive and appears fine. My other FelV cats died mostly as
kittens ages 8 to 10 m
