When I talked to Jasmine (AC), about being an indoor kitty - he said to her that he would like that very much - and I think he likes to be an indoor kitty (he doesn't seem to want to get out or anything) - but he might be lonely - I don't know. Right now, he lives in a townhouse next to mine (my boyfriend lives there) - by himself, until we get clarifications on his viral status - on ELISA, he is FIV positive - I have another cat, Squeaky (if you remember her..), who has always been tested negative on FIV on snap shot test (three times now), but has been either positive or equivocal on ELISA, and has been negative or equivocal on Western Blot - and I don't know what to think - I also so much wanted to integrate her with everyone else, and I am not sure what to do with this uncertain situation - I know that FIV does not get transmitted that easily, but I have so many cats that I feel like I shouldn't mix them since some of my babies are older -- I know it will all work out - but I just don't know what to do.

Hideyo, Pardon me, SHE! I'm glad to hear Corky is feeling so much better. What a relief. Do you still not know what caused it? I hear you about the frustrations of getting our kids out of "intensive care" at the vet's office! Perhaps they were just trying to pad the bill, but in their defense, there are few owners like the ones on this list. Most people don't take the care we do with sick, or injured animals. I remember watching a story on animal planet about a police dog that had been injured and was suppose to be kept quiet while recuperating. Well the cop partner, that should have known better, didn't do whatever it was that was necessary and the dog ended up reinjuring himself and had to be pts. Man did that frustrate me! I'm sorry Carl is unhappy. Didn't the AC tell you that he was enjoying his life as a feral and might not want to be a house kitty? Maybe he's just going through a period of adjustment and will come to see the benefits of owning humans. Keep us informed, as always I'm sending healing, soothing energy your way, Nina
