Her doctor's concern is probably over the danger of the cats shedding
Toxoplasmosis in their droppings. If she really wants to keep her cats,
all she has to do is bring them to the vet and find out if they have the
damn disease. There's no danger to her, even if they have been exposed,
if her husband will clean the litter boxes while she's pregnant. Tell
her to ask her doctor exactly what his fears are in regard to the cats.
Then get me the damn doctor's address so I can throw eggs at his house.

I am so very sorry, sometimes I wonder if God exist – this is not
right, you can’t lose Flavia and Snowball so suddenly so close to each
other - the only thing I can think of is that Snowball is such a
gentle soul, he could not let Flavia cross the bridge all by herself –
so he decided to join her - the only comforting thing is that now they
are not alone – they are together – but still doesn’t justify what
happened – I am so mad, Kerry, so mad about the disease – this is just
too much –I HATE THIS DISEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
But I know Snowball and Flavia are no longer in pain – their souls are
probably doing just fine – (I know it sounds strange, but I hope you
know what I mean) – they are right next each other and next to you….
I will be so praying Momcat and Mickey are going to be just fine while
you are gone..
Loves and hugs to you, Snowball, Flavia, Momcat and Mickey

It's been a painful day. I lost my gentle giant Snowball this
afternoon. I never expected that.
He was breathing rapidly when I got home from the clinic. I thought at
first he was stressed because of losing his girlfriend Flavia. I
couldn't take the risk, tho, so I rushed him to the clinic. His lungs
were full of fluid. Only 25 per cent was not full and even that was
compromised. I discussed it with the same vet I saw this morning. I
couldn't risk him dying while I was gone, and that seemed a very real
possibility.
Snowball was the biggest cat, a flamepoint, but he wouldn't hurt a
soul. He was terribly timid. He stopped playing a couple of months
ago, but I thought it was a lazy phase, because he had been pretty
lazy before.
The other little ones would enjoy batting him when he was below them
on the tree. He never batted them back. he was too gentle. He knew he
could squash them if he wanted too, but he didn't want to hurt them.
I'm in shock for Snowball, and I guess Flavia, tho she has been so
ill, and I need to process it.
Please send prayers for my remaining Mickey and Momcat. They are going
to be feeling very down and scared, and I'm scared they'll stop eating.
I haven't read your replies yet because I just got back, and I have to
leave in 30 mins, and I haven't finished packing.
But there were lots--I'm so grateful. I'll read them when I get back.
love and hugs to all
Kerry

I'm sorry, Kerry. If her PCV plummeted that fast, she probably
either had a bleed somewhere or was killing off her own red blood
cells (hemolytic anemia). That is what they told me with Simon
when he went from 16 to 8 overnight.
