Not necessarily --- some kitties have warm ears with normal temperature -- I just rescued a feral boy, Tony-- and his ears are really warm, and I checked his temperature and it was 100.7 -- normal -- one time I asked my vet about it.. she said it all depends.. how about the nose? Are they dried?
Vomiting can be or is not any serious problems,, I have a cat who vomits all the time, and they couldn't find anything wrong -- does she eat okay? Did she lose any weights? Could be psychological or emotional, too? Have them do the blood work to make sure that all her organs are okay.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MacKenzie, Kerry N.

Hi Kerry, I can understand your concern about Kitty. Her symptoms are troubling to me too. How old is she again? If this had just started, then I might think it had to do with the stress of her new home and not so friendly attitude between cats. I would feel better if the vet this woman was seeing seemed more competent. Granted, everyone on this list has "red flag" hair triggers, but... It does sound like the new mom is concerned and keeping an eye on the situation, although the question about whether cats get fevers is an indicator about how little experience she's had with sick kitties. Would she be willing to take Kitty to a vet that you trust? I know first hand how difficult it is to let go of the responsibility we feel toward foster fur kids. There is only so much you can do at this point though. I'm glad that the new mom seems open to your intervention. Have you paid Kitty a visit in the past few days? Perhaps she wouldn't mind if you went with her to your vet. If it were me, I'd go have a look at Kitty and see what my impressions are. Remember Vladimir's story?
