Hideyo, I am so sorry about Rikki. Gentle Bridge vibes to him, and I know he knows how much he was loved. I hope that Jojo's problems are treatable, and that Angelina turns up alive and well. If she was a victim of this sick poisoner, may she rest in peace and may he rot in Hell. Rest up, and stay strong for your other kitties. Diane R.

Though he was so weak towards the end, every time, I could go and call his name, he would meow for me like he has done for the past several years I have had - I couldn't wish for a much more perfect than rikki - I don't know for sure if he had FIP for sure,, as it impacted a different part of the organ in his case (kidney) - though I know it was not CRF, as his kidneys were just fine two weeks ago. I was talking to someone today in rescue business - and there seems to be more FIP cases in our area for some reason - so Susan, in a sense you were right, there is something going on that no one knows about - there is more incidents for FIP in the area at least than every in the past.. and don't know why..Right now I am in despair and tired.. I have 4 other kitties who are showing a partial of symptoms in other kitties who have passed away, and very paranoid. and I put all of them on FOI interferon hoping that I am catching everyone early enough that can reverse anything going one.. I am praying that I have seen the last of FIP tragedy at my household.. I also found out that one of my dogs JoJo who is 8 years old mix of chow and shepherd may or may not have cancer - his one of eyes is bleeding a bit and has a big tumor in his gum.. and has blood in his urine. The vet was not crazy how his eye and tumor looked.. we did an impression on him and see if we can find more - please send a prayer to JoJo and send a healing energy that he is going to get better - Also, I have not seen my feral calico kitty - Angelina for 4 nights - I talked to my AC-and she is either suffering something very acute or may not with us anymore - I knew she was not ill - I mentioned to her about my neighbour poisoning cats and she thought, she may be one of the victims - I can't tell you how angry and devasting I am - she is a such a beautiful kitty, and was getting so used to me and meoed so loud and happy to see me - I have so much sadness, despair and angers these days. I am having a hard time to believe in faith.. may all my babies rest in peace.. and come back and have a joyful, happy and healthy life....
