[Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet
Sabrina in one lucky girl. We had originally hoped prayed we could find someone who would give her a temporary room for the period of time needed for testing to determine whether she could beat this thing. We sent out SO many emails talked to SO many people. Contacted all the networks we with. But over the weekend, the golden goose flew over laid the proverbial egg on us. Not only does Sabrina get a room, she gets a home! This is a young couple who live in Spring Green, WI, where Mew Haven I am. The woman is the daughter of one of my good friends a nicer, more warm family could never be asked for. They had two Siamese cats that they lost last year so Shelley asked a lot of questions about Sabrina about the disease. I told her everything I knew which i s what I posted here initially. That Sabrina might not live long but on the other hand with good care a stress free environment, she might beat it live a long healthy life. Or she might just be a carrier live many years. I pointed out that there are no guarantees with any pets that there are FeLeuk kitties that live longer than non-FeLeuk kitties. Shelley's Mark's girls are 13 16. Both Shelley Mark love cats so do the girls but it was the girls' decision because losing their Siamese last year had been very hard on them. I was absolutely fine with that told Shelley to tell the girls that it is possible that they might have to say goodbye sooner than they want but on the other hand this is a chance for both of them to play a huge role in the life of one little special needs cat. And as it turns out, it's what they want to do! They are both very excited. And as Vicki, Shelley's mom told me, there could not possibly be a kitty who will be loved more than Sabrina will be. But listen to THIS! The girls wanted to know if it would be ok if they changed her name to Eleanor. For Eleanor Roosevelt who was such a strong woman! Do these kids get it or not?!! They do!I am so grateful. Sabrina/Eleanor is being spayed this week will have her IFA done. My friend who works MH with me I will drive up get Eleanor a week from today. So far so beautifully good!

Re: [Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet
Blessings to all of you who have helped this wonderful little girl. My Dixie left this world a long time before I wanted but she had a couple of wonderful years that most cats would exchange several of their 9 lives for. I would encourage them to see if there is a holistic vet in the area who works with a regular vet. I truly believe my holistic vet (who chose holistic work after practicing conventional vet work) with helping Dixie have a wonderful quality of life and letting her leave this world with as little trauma (to her--- not to me) as possible. She worked closely with my regular vets and, together, my little girl went from being a feral/throw-away who was expected to leave this world in a very few months to a wonderful, confident girl who had EVERYTHING for about three years. There was a lot of pain for me, Dixie's fans and all the vets when she left this world (by the way, she did it on her own--not interested in being anywhere near a vet thank you). There was a lot of relief from the same people when I took death off the table for Dixie after she came into my life...she did have a wonderful support group. She has been gone three years (yes, that seems to be a constant number in my life) and I miss her so much but wouldn't trade anything for the wonderful time I have with her.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet
I had a 30 pounder and he was close to 4 ft long, which I hate to admit, but he had an eating disorder. He ate bath tissue, facial tissue, licked plastic bags. If you still did not feed him, he tossed his stomach bile. He would scratch at our brand new king mattress and keep us up at night if we did not feed him. We used the squirt bottle so much that he just started sitting there with his eyes slammed shut and just let us squirt him. We also tried feeding him the Purina OM diet (this was 10+ yrs ago) and he did not eat enough of it (I also had another cat at the time) and then he had liver problems. We put him back on his previous food. I used a diff vet then but he told me just let him be fat and happy, we did. He lived to be 16 1/2 yrs. We still miss him!!! He's been gone for 5 yrs :( - Original Message - From: Natalie at...@optonline.net To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet Diet?

My Dixie left this world a long time before I wanted but she had a couple of wonderful years that most cats would exchange several of their 9 lives for. I would encourage them to see if there is a holistic vet in the area who works with a regular vet. I truly believe my holistic vet (who chose holistic work after practicing conventional vet work) with helping Dixie have a wonderful quality of life and letting her leave this world with as little trauma (to her--- not to me) as possible. She worked closely with my regular vets and, together, my little girl went from being a feral/throw-away who was expected to leave this world in a very few months to a wonderful, confident girl who had EVERYTHING for about three years. There was a lot of pain for me, Dixie's fans and all the vets when she left this world (by the way, she did it on her own--not interested in being anywhere near a vet thank you). There was a lot of relief from the same people when I took death off the table for Dixie after she came into my life...she did have a wonderful support group. She has been gone three years (yes, that seems to be a constant number in my life) and I miss her so much but wouldn't trade anything for the wonderful time I have with her.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet
Bet these big fellas are Maine Coon or part MC. I seem them at cat shows and they are unbelievably big. My mom's cat, Lucky (now my cat, really) weighs in at 13 # and I can hardly stand for him to spend a lot of time on my lap. He's heavy! Can't imagine a 21 pounder crawling onto me! The rest of my cats are around 9-10 pounds. Bet it was fun to hug a big, old 4' long cat, though! ~B. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Lynda Wilson Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 7:21 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Sabrina updatet He's proably just a big boy or just fluffy, lol! I know since my cat was close to 4 ft (he sprawled out on the floor like a dog!) that there is no way he could have weighed the average weight of a cat.

He ate bath tissue, facial tissue, licked plastic bags. If you still did not feed him, he tossed his stomach bile. He would scratch at our brand new king mattress and keep us up at night if we did not feed him. We used the squirt bottle so much that he just started sitting there with his eyes slammed shut and just let us squirt him. We also tried feeding him the Purina OM diet (this was 10+ yrs ago) and he did not eat enough of it (I also had another cat at the time) and then he had liver problems. We put him back on his previous food. I used a diff vet then but he told me just let him be fat and happy, we did. He lived to be 16 1/2 yrs. We still miss him!!!
