Hey Kris, I don't have answers to all your questions, but hopefully I can help out with some.
I feed my furbabies Innova Evo, which is one of the best. You can't get it at Petsmart or Petco. You can get it online or through smaller pet boutiques. As far as I can tell from research, canned food is fine, and absolutely better than dry (especially dry that contains grains). If Spaz does not go outside at all, I would not vaccinate her for rabies; no reason to. That's just my opinion. Plus, I don't think you can give rabies to your babies; I think they have to be bitten by a rabid animal to contract it. As far as communicating with others about cats and various cat subjects, I think the internet is the best medium for this. The problem is getting animal lovers who are not computer savvy, or listserve savvy, to participate. I think the internet is a fabulous tool for information exchange, and much more efficient than in person. In the future, it will be the be-all/end-all of information exchange on current topics, such as cat care. Cornell University is one of the best research facilities for FeLV. Texas A&M is also a good place to look for more info. There are a few others, but I can't remember them. Hope this info. helps! :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
