My sweet Houston died last night. He came to me from Susan, who worked hard to trap him and bubba Dallas out west of Little Rock. Houston and Dallas tested positive for FELV. They were just babies, and Dallas was a wormy kitten back then. That was Spring 2004. They grew up healthy happy cats, at least up until the last couple of weeks of their lives.

Dallas died in September 2006, of mediastinal lymphoma. His bubba Houston just now joined him last night; he died quietly, was anemic, and Susan came over to see him before his passing. They both died after missing some time on their daily interferon, don't know for sure if that's connected, but I do think it is.

They were both sweet loving kitties, playful, mischievous, just wonderful. I'm glad to have known them; I'll miss them. They'll be in good company - Leader, Mittens, Calawalla Banana Booboo, Mr. Black Kitty, and all the rest.

Gloria
