Kelley,
I am so sorry this is happening. My heart goes out to you. I don't have
any suggestions, but I will pray that you can figure out why this is happening.

Hideyo,
They eat Diamond Naturals Indoor Cat, which is not the best, but contains no
wheat gluten. It isn't the worst either.
They also eat Evo canned when I can afford it, which isn't always.
I don't think it is the food, or anything like that..it is only affecting
cats 5-12 yo.
The kittens are ok.

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.

Here they tried to use treated wood (the new version) in the walls where it
touched the concrete.
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.

I don't have any wood. I have concrete subfloor, carpet over some of it, vinyl
tile over other parts of it, it is all by itself in som eplaces. Where the ac
flooded and we had to rip up the tile...but that was 3 years ago...

couple of years ago and it is still available for some uses. Two/three years
ago, after it had been banned for use in houses, a dealer for BK Cypress Log
Homes quoted me a package that contained arsenic treated lumber and, when I
questioned him, sent me an awful email regarding the safety of this wood and
how no person would eat it. Tennessee Log Homes had a dealer who was very
unhappy when I rejected some of his arguments re arsenic treated wood. (There
is a lot more to that story.......if you ever consider using them email me
personally and you won't consider it for long). Arsenic leaches into the soil
and poisons the plants, water etc. It is also used in some fencing and
creosote is used in RR ties that are used for landscape timbers. Power poles
and telephone poles as well as fence posts more than a couple of years old are
probably treated. They certainly weren't removed. There
are questions about the current "accepted" treated woods. Please remember how
long the arsenic treated was considered safe. Obviously I am a tree-hugger
but please, with that many illnesses, please have it checked.

Do they use arsenic in pressure treated lumber still today?!?
