Hi Amy, I am so sorry you are going through this. It is hard to want to care
for a beloved kitty when they want no part of it. My sweet gentle Tucker used
to go absolutely ballistic whenever I tried to give him a pill. Sometimes I
think it is kinder to choose the least threatening or invasive
Make sure and give the others very good food too. Chopping carrots

Hi, Amy --
I'm sorry your baby isn't doing well, and I'm even sorrier that

vet is correct, there has hardly been any testing done at this point. They
recently started recruiting people for a trial, but it was only going
Prayers and thoughts to you on Bashful.
You did the kindest thing by helping the kitty go to the bridge so there is
no more suffering.
I totally understand what your going through as many of us do.
