Poor Andy!! He can be a little tongue in cheek at times, but believe me-he has been there with the most compassion and kind words when we were struggling to keep our sweet babies alive. He loves his kitties as much, if not more than most I know-which probably helped him to be the best people dad ever! We are all on the same journey-some people get really lucky and their cats remain healthy for ages-I lost Rosie's 4 brothers before they reached a year old-they were on Interferon 2x a day, no lapses. Murphy, who we just lost the end of October after a heroic struggle with anemia, a rebound with Epogen, then diagnosed with Lymphoma, another anemia setback which did not respond to increasing the Epogen. We had Rosie and Murphy on LTCI (over a year) and Interferon. He was 2 1/2 and had been found in the same feral colony our litter of positive kittens came from, a friendly throw away. Andy was there in our corner, always kind and caring, offering support. This is the same fella that threw the name "Pirate" into the name hat (on my facebook page) when I got the one eyed kitten! LOL If the kitten would of had a black and white spotted face, maybe......but the name Miso won out-my 1/2 Asian heritage and his miso coloring. Anyway-SacTown boy is a good-un and I'll vouch for him.
