Title: Message

Thanks Lisa! You guys are a mine of information! Until we know what the problem is, I've so far rigged up the humidifier (in which Levi has taken quite a bit of interest--one of my neg cats, the lazy beautiful one, used it for meditation purposes in previous years -- loved when it bubbled immediately after filling, and then would promptly snag the best 'seat' on the floor in front of it, and stay there for several hours just watching the water level go d---o---w---n.....) and put them back on their original diet with the supps including cod liver oil. I also see much broiled chicken breast in his (their) immediate future...and I'm going to be getting the Olivet and Transfer Factor (I need to check back the emails that my memory is serving me right here). Because they are not eating enough, whatever I've given them so far. I'll be keeping a very vigilant eye on him this weekend. I'm wondering now if the 'hiding' is really hiding: I discovered that his current spot is the lower drawer of a tall file cabinet i recently moved into that room. It has a pillow in it from when one of my neg cats used to jump into it for hours. My concern arises from the fact that Levi has never, ever been out of sight in the past year--not once. (And of course, he's scratching, and eating less.) Do you think this is 'illness hiding' or just normal cat behavior? As I say, if he's always found some little nook to go i wdn't be worried. But that has not been his style in the past. He's always been the gang's "fearless, ferocious leader" :>) At least he's still giving me eye contact--he's focused. I'm just so worried he's going to go the same way as Caramel. Thanks again for everyone's input.
