HAVE YOU TRIED VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS FOR KRAMER? ANNIE CAME FROM A LADY DYING FROM CANCER. IF SHE COULD NOT FIND HER A HOME, WAS GOING TO HAVE HER PUT DOWN. SHE HAD BEEN ONLY CAT IN SINGLE TRAILER WITH KATHY ALL HER 4 YEARS. MY VET KEPT ASKING IF I WANTED TO TAKE HER. I WASN'T SURE AS I HAD ONE CAT LEFT FROM MY ORIGINAL GROUP AND ALSO FATHER WAS HERE AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO ADAPT TO MUCH, NOT TO MENTION A LARGE HOUSE AND BASEMENT .KATHY'S SISTER WENT TO HER TRAILER, CHANGED THE BOX, PUT OUT FOOD AND WATER AND THAT WAS IT FOR 3 WEEKS. THEN SHE WAS STUFFED IN A CARDBOARD BOX AND BROUGHT TO THE VET I PUT HER IN A CARRIER AND BROUGHT HER HOME. SHE STAYED IN THE BASEMENT FOR 2 WEEKS, COMING UP FOR FOOD AT NIGHT WHEN ALL WAS QUIET. THEN, SHE CAME UP AND STAYED UP BUT BEGAN THE SCREAMING, CHASING AND SLAPPING EVERY TIME SNUGLES CAME NEAR HER AND RAN FROM FATHER AND I. THEN I GOT HOMEY FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS GOING TO TAKE HER OUT AND DUMP HER BECAUSE SHE WAS INCONVENIENT AND FAIRLY SOON AFTER THAT, CASEY AND LIL BIT, NITNOY AND LAST 2 THREE MONTH OLD KITTENS, HARLEY AND DEE. THE SCREAMS ARE NOT AS LOUD NOW AND THE OTHER NIGHT SHE LAID IN MY LAP ON THE RECLINER THE SAME TIME DEE WAS THERE. IF I CAN HOLD HER LONG ENOUGH FOR HER TO SETTLE DOWN, THE WILL TOLERATE OTHERS NEAR HER. I THINK SHE WOULD BE HAPPY IN A ONE CAT HOUSE, BUT NOW SHE IS AT HOME HERE, ANOTHER CHANGE MIGHT DO HER IN. LIL BIT AND CASEY DIED OF OLD AGE, NITNOY WAS MY OTHER FELV AND PASSED AFTER 2 YEARS. OTHER THAN THE SNEEZING (GOING TO VET TO BE SURE NOT SERIOUS) AND OBSESSIVE/COMPULSIVE LICKING AT CERTAIN SPOTS ON HER LEGS, SHE SEEMS CONTENT, EATS WELL, SLEEPS ON MY BED (HER BED)WHICH ON ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED ON. ALL THESE BABIES WE BRING HOME HAVE BOTH EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS THAT WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH. I JUST WISH THEY COULD TALK AND TELL US ABOUT THEIR ACHES AND PAINS SO WE COULD HELP THEM BETTER. I WATCH THEM LIKE A HAWK AND CONSTANTLY FEEL FOR BUMPS . EVERYONE HERE THINKS I AM CRAZY, THEY ARE JUST CATS. CATS THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER MY HEART AND GIVEN ME SO MUCH, THEY DESERVE THE BEST I CAN GIVE THEM. JUST TESTED ANNIE FOR HEARING. DON'T THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM. THAT IS ANOTHER PROBLEM, THEY ARE CONDITIONED BY NATURE TO NOT DISPLAY ANY ILLNESS OR INJURY THAT THEY KEEP US FROM KNOWING THEY ARE HURTING.
