The argument I've heard agaisnt raw food, is not about the nutritional value
of a raw meat diet, it's the fact that poultry produced in the US is not
intended for raw consumption, it's not kept cold enough or thoroughly
screened for parasytes, because producers assume it will be cooked. I
Thank you all for sharing your experiences and information on raw food, I
know it is a controversal subject and I am grateful for any additional
information. It seems like everyone who has given it to their kitties had a
good experience. I find it difficult to go against the recommendations
Kerry,
I'm not sure if this will work because Kitty probably isn't as playful as my
younger kitties, but it's worth a try. When I was introducing my two
kitties I made a toy out of two catnip scented mice tied together with a
ribbon. I put the ribbon under a shut door with one cat in each
We had the same experience with prednisolene! The vet didn't think Mio
would live through the night she had a 106.5 degree temp, she couldn't
stand, she wasn't eating or drinking, but within 24 hours of the injection
her temp was gone and she was interested in the world again and catnip (it
Leslie,
Have you tried sprinkling a little catnip on Satch's food? Sometimes that's
enough to entice Mio into eating when she's not feeling well. Just makes
sure not to mix it in or else the food will cover up the catnip smell.

Thank you for the suggestion! My vet was the one who told me to go to
Island Pharmacy, and was unwilling to dilute it herself. We switched vets,
and so far the new vet is great. She doesn't know a lot about FeLV, but she
has done tons of research for me, consulted other vets, and her clinic
I am so relieved Spencer is home, you must be at your whits end! I am
praying for his recovery and for your continued strength.
Belinda,
We have had so many horrible experiences at the vet since Mio got sick in
June, that I am a little hesitant to officially recommend my new vet until
we have more experience with her. Our new vet is Elizabeth Johnson @ The
cat clinic of Seattle ( in Wallingford). So far she has been
Michelle,
Have you considered talking to the feline health clinic at Cornell? I know
their website is a little out of date, but I imagine that their vets have
very up to date information available to them. You can schedule a phone
consultation for about 50.00 for an hour and I believe you
Great wording Michelle!

There are two kinds of immune cells, B cells and T cells. B cells are the

I've had great luck with the diffuser, but I've never tried the spray. Mio
used to pee on my bed if I was out of the house for more than 12 hours, poor
girl. I bought the diffuser and plugged it in next to my bed, we have been
accident free since February.

Kayte,
I think the main risk that bringing other positives into the house
represents to Crackers, is the possible exposure to an unrelated bug that
the new kitties may be harboring. As long as you can quarantine the newbies
for two weeks to make sure any recent infections show themselves
I wish I had a reason for Missy's change in behavior (behavior change is
always worrisome), but I did want to let you know that Mio displays the
exact same behavior. For her it increases when she is feeling well again
after a period of being sick. My bed and the bathroom have always been
May I ask where you are located?

Try giving her something she can't resist (a little bit of yummy food or
catnip). She's likely to hold still well eating it, you won't have long,
but you should be able to get yourself 30 seconds of wiggle free time. I
know it sounds crazy but this is what I do when I'm clipping Mio's nails,
I am very lucky that Mio (who is often sick) loves the car, however many of
the furbabes including my other kitty Oscar hate it. They get incredibly
stressed out and come home form the vet feeling worse then ever. Does
anyone have any tricks that have helped their cats stay calm? I have
