Thank you. Casey seems to be better. Am continuing to monitor the 7 boxes just in case so I can get to the vet if necessary. Lee Evans moonsiste...@yahoo.com wrote:   Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! - Forwarded Message

It is with a sad heart that I remember a little cat that came into our lives one cold winter morning this past winter. She lost her battle with feline leukemia last night. Little Squirt --- later to become Penelope (Penny) squeezed her way into our outside kennel and into our hearts. She was

I don't want to start a barrage of OT emails with this post. Just a quick warnng to be careful I tried the food grade diatomaceous earth this weekend to try to stop the fleas. I have all hardwood floors - really old ones, with lots of crevices for the flea eggs to hide in. I wore a good sanding

Karen, I'm sorry to hear of Penny's passing. Your touching email made me cry. Thank you for taking her in and doing all you could to find her good home. Her time on earth was short, but thanks you, it was filled with love. If only all FeLV kitties could be so lucky. Sincerely, -Amanda On

Karen So sorry to hear of Penny's passing. As you so eloquently said, may she be frolicking in sunny pastures with her kitty friends. Although it hurts so much to have them leave us, they fill our hearts with their sweet love, and bring out our better nature when we try to help them. Bless

I am sorry, I haven't been following this thread but caught the diatomaceous warning.  Hoping they still make this, but 1-800-flea busters out of FL. is my favorite product to use.  It's a little work, but I think I was over zealous the first year.  Third yr I used it, I was not so diligent,

I was really thinking of using it in the yard and on the deck and seeing how that worked. So far last year and this year we have had NO FLEA OR TICK PROBLEMS. The cats only go out on the deck, except Harley. He goes into the woods, but has only had 2 ticks and no sign of fleas. KNOCK ON

She found warmth, food, love and compassion. She lived happily for a short time but that's better than living miserably for a long time. She was surrounded by people who understood her plight and didn't allow her to suffer. It may not have been a long life, but I'm sure for her it was a perfect

It does have a drying effect on human skin so be sure to wash your hands, arms, whatever it contacts. That's how this stuff works. It dries out the fleas. Their underside is soft and it simply dehydrates them like prunes. Don't use a flour sifter. What I did was take a tablespoon and place it

Hi,   I'm sorry but I will need to leave your discussions.  My cat, William (as in Shakespeare) ran away last month.  I just hope that he found a loving family.  When I went away for a week and a half I hired someone to come to my house just in case he returned home.  I live in a townhouse

I know someone that FEEDS it to her cats. That can't be good after hearing your experience. If it's a desiccant, then I would think it might cause internal damage. Anyone know anything about that? - Fight back spam! Download the Blue Frog.

This made me cry, too. I'm so sorry that Penelope is gone. You were kind and loving to her, Karen, and that's an important part of this story. Without you, what would have happened to her? With you and your influence, she got a lot of love and care. Thank you. Lance On Jul 1, 2013, at 11:02
