I use bleach. I have to to kill the virus such as URI that comes from the
sheltr. I use bleach in the litterboxes to kill the giardia, coccidia. I
use bleach in my sheets so i don't hav eto sleep on peed on sheets.
I try to use simple green when I think it will work.
The thing that mystifies me is that it is affecting a 10,12, and 2 5 year
old cats...yet the 3 weeks olds are just fine *knock wood*. 3 of them were
owner surrenders and one was obviously an owned cat -spayed and very
friendly. A great staff favaprote at T:AC
I thik they are distessed and it is destroyuing their immune system.

Any insecticides? Termite/roach/ants stuff? Any cleaning solutions?
Bleaches?
I'm not picking at you. Please don't think that. I know of other cases
where things we think nothing of cause problems for our friends and many
times we never find out what. Consider that there appears to be an increase
in cancers among people that some are blaming on the numerous chemicals now
in our food, water, homes.
If you have a good alternative vet in your area, try him/her. The ones I
know can sense the problems when regular vets, who are really attuned to
science and the scientific method, just can't. Mine have convinced me that
even the little blue crystals in some litter is not good for cats. They
have the ability to see as a cat. It is much like baby-proofing a house.
You get 6 inches from everything with your nose, eyes, mouth etc.
You mentioned carpet. Consider what you use to clean it and whether it is
outgassing. I don't have any here but picked up a piece to make Dixie a
scratching post (very good carpet remnant). It has been on the porch rail
for 3 months outgassing. Dixie won't have anything to do with it and it
will never make it into the house again. I am just trying to see how long
it takes the odor to go away. Again, I am not picking at you. This awful
set of events may be something entirely within the cars. I had 2 unrelated
female cats several months apart die. I trapped them and had them spayed at
different local vets. One had every test done before she was spayed. The
other had just the basics done. Both appeared extremely healthy. Both were
fine the night before they died but both died the third day. I was so
totally broken up that I asked my personal vet (120 miles away) what was
going on. Without an autopsy (animal version) no one could be sure but he
couldn't come up with anything. One could easily have had undetected heart
problems but both of them??????????? All of this is to say that sometimes
things just happen no matter how careful we are and, again, please don't
think I am picking at you............just throwing out ideas/feelings in the
hope that something might ring true with you. You have been thru so much.
Maybe an angel will sit on your shoulder and whisper an answer. That is my
prayer for you.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Francis
