Proof that animals need to be provided for in wills.

of them, on sofas, elaborate beds, pampered...and these poor animals
would
have to end up like that?

Subject: [Felvtalk] Intro New Cat Quick Style
Hi Everyone
Life can be stressful sometimes.
My aunt is going into assisted living (suddenly) and I'm taking her
cat. I
took my mom's cat, Lucky, last Fall, and he's become part of the
household
very nicely. This little cat, Princess, is a sweet and mild-
mannered little
one. I took her to the vet today for a checkup and unfortunately he
spied a
growth on her tongue. He's biopsied it (so we will know) and I'm
picking
her up in a couple hours.
The thing is, this is very sudden and I haven't had much time to
prepare.
And I'm going to be gone 12 or more hours a day next week (eek). I
can put
her in the spare bedroom until the Felv test comes back. But I
don't want
her to be freaked out or too frightened. I'm hoping that instead of
a three
weeks, I can try to integrate her in a week or two.
This will make FIVE indoor cats for me. I've never had so many.
The vet
said, "Well, four or five isn't much different." Bless him.
What's the conventional wisdom out there? Leave her in the room
7-14 days,
or longer?
Thanks for your input!
Bonnie
