Re: Sam ~ Del
Thanks, Patti. He does move around, but mostly lays ... kitties do sleep a LOT anyway. His legs are gradually regaining functionbut periodically he seems uncomfortable. I'll be happy to have his ECHO and EKG done coming Friday, 12/9, and have more of an idea about his heart. Last Christmas we knew it was Effie's last (FeLV+ and Lymphoma) and her "angel" hair is still on the tree ... :( Del - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2005 11:56 AM Subject: Re: Sam ~ Del In a message dated 12/2/05 11:30:01 A.M.

Brooklyn
Hi Everyone...been so busy haven't been on list for a bit. My sister is getting married and things are hectic here and there. Just wanted to update everyone who has been so helpful and encouraging with Brooklyn. He is doing well. I finally got up the strength and into a routine of giving him his meds. It's been almost a week and he is doing better. No more vomiting, but all he wants to eat now is dry food. Not interested in the canned food anymore, I think it's because he's afraid there's going to be nasty stuff in it since I tried to hide the meds in it. His poopies (that's the professional term we use around here) are becoming more solid, no more liquid poops. That's happening slowly but surely and guess whatI moved the litterbox to where he kept going on the floor, and he's been using the litterbox CONSISTENTLY! He was just trying to tell me THIS is where the potty should beif it's not where it should be, I'm goin here anyway lol. I have to say I'm totally entertained by his bad manners. LOL. He begs for food WORSE than the dogs do! He stole a french fry from my plate! I sit at a snack table and eat since it's just me, and he reaches up with his paw and tries to knock it off the table. If he can't get it or I'm eating he just meows incessantly until i give him SOMETHING. And if I don't pay attention to his begging, he paws ME! Today he wanted biscuits. The cat is hilarious. He is so cuddly it's amazing. He needs a bath though. How would I do that? I know from experience that cats aren't too fond of baths (I used to work in a grooming department and have a NASTY scar from a cat who didn't want a bath that day). Anyway, other than that, no other news except that I asked for the roomba for xmas. It just sounded so great. LOL. Happy Holidays everyone and hug your kitties for us here in furball wonderland. :) Hugs Rebecca
Cat shampoo to recommend...
Title: Message My Tucson has had to wear one of those wonderful collars for the last two weeks. The big day is coming up when it comes off. Here's the problem. On a good day, she's not too meticulous about self-grooming and with the collar, it became even harder. I tried to brush her and wipe her off but she likes only parts of her body brushed and wiping with something wet--well, you could hear the howls two blocks away. S I'm getting my body armor out and going to try to bathe her. Never have done that to her since she was a little kitten so I know it will not be easy! But, she is a mess and I can't let her stay like this... ?Anyone have handy dandy little tricks for the bathing of a large, strong angry cat (and she will be angry)? (Other than a stiff drink before I start!) ?Any particular brand of shampoo that might help with matting? Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Sam ~ Del
Del, I'm hoping you get some "happy" news on the 9th. Please give us an update. When my PeeWee threw her clot, the vet wasn't overly optimistic due to her age (16). I was scared too. But my old girl surprised us all! Praying same goes for Sam, and you can celebrate this holiday season joyously. Hugs, Patti
