Hello everyone! I'm so sorry I've been out of touch for so long!!! I got behind in emails and never was able to get caught up...life has been so insane!!! I hate to even email when I haven't been able to read everyone's posts the last couple months. I send my love and thoughts to any who have lost furbabies and positive thoughts and prayers to any sick kitties. Slinky was neutered about 3 weeks ago and everything went well. They also retested him...and it was positive. :( I'm considering taking him to a holistic vet when I can afford it (which may be a while)...and also thinking about switching him to a raw diet as he doesn't seem terribly interested in his canned food lately. My question is about a couple things I've noticed lately. About a week or so ago, I came home and found vomit at the top of the stairs into my apartment. At least I think it was vomit...it looked like his canned food only slightly more watery. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought he dragged his dish over there and spilled it! lol But he seemed fine the rest of the night and I haven't seen any problems since. Now tonight, I was lying in bed and heard a strange noise in the living room...which turned out to be Slinky having a sneezing fit. He must've sneezed at least 20 times. Then it seemed to go away. But then a few minutes later I heard him hacking in the living room. I went in there, and again, he seems to be fine now. He has been acting a bit like 'psycho kitty" lately...running around a lot, acting a bit ornery, and pouncing on me to wake me up at 6:30 every morning. But other than that he's been just fine. So far, in the last 15 minutes or so...no more sneezing or coughing. But we'll see how he does through the night. Should I be concerned? Do I need to take him in tomorrow? Or do you think he'll be okay and he just got into something or something? Any thoughts or advice would be most appreciated. I considered trying to take his temp, but I don't think he'd let me...though I'd obviously force him if it was really necessary. Please send positive thoughts! Thanks...and thanks again for this great group...i'll try to stay more on top of the emails! Love to all of you and your babies. MJ
