Yes, It definitely helps her when I'm home. She, another female, and one of my males actually stalk each other. She does it too. I can't figure out who the real instigator is.. but when I'm home it's much better. But.. somebody's got to go to work to pay the bills for the cats. lol. If it

Thank you for writing to me. I am certainly responsible in a way that I requested that I picked up Suzi (and all the other kitties I have spayed/neutered I the past)as soon as the surgery was done in stead of them waiting at the clinic for the rest of the day - this was suggested by Dr. Addie who

Yeah, my vet's on the list... Her name has changed, Belinda, you might want to change it. Cat Clinic of Roswell in GA. Dr. Gatch is back to Dr. Merck short marriage. Also, I wonder who posted that. I don't think I did because I wouldn't have known the second phone number.

Hi Barbara, I just talked with Brenda about refilling my feliway plug ins. I didn't notice that much difference with them when I used them in the past. Maybe another try in more locations. lol. Thanks for the info! tBarbara Lowe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i would splurge also on that Feliway

at the sanctuary, there are FeLVs who made it to 15 years! in kittens born with it, the crisis times seem to be 3-4 months, then again at 6-7 (when mom's immunity wears off?), then again around 18-20 months. after that, it really varied. i'm willing to bet that were we able to retest all the

Hideyo, I too insist on picking up my animals very soon after surgery. I bring them home while they're still unconscious and very fortunately, I've never had a problem. It sounds like there must have been something wrong that day. What did the vet say about them having a swollen throat and

Hideyo, I know why you feel the way you do. But I read your description of what happened and what you did. I would have done exactly the same thing as you without any changes. I would have jumped at the chance to pick them up right after surgery instead of leaving them there all day, if it

Poor Charlie, I wish I could take him. I had an fiv that sounds a lot like him. Honestly, out of the many, many cats I've dealt with, he was the sweetest cat I've ever known. Everyone wanted to take him from me! He basically had no ears left when I found him from scratching at ear mites. After

Charlie sounds like such a wonderful guy. I know of one local person that just lost her FIV cat, she swore 'never again', but we all know that's not true. I'm forwarding your email about Charlie to her. Something that has occurred to me in the past, I'm not sure how to even go about it, but...
