Re: FIV and calico
No, they were saying that in their experience, the majority of the female FIV cats had been calicos. I don't remember seeing the start of this thread either, but it was either Patti, or MC that made the observation about a shelter/sanctuary situation. It was only an observation. Seems to me someone posted a paste from an authoritative source asking if there was any known correlation between fur color, (ie calico/orange gene) and FIV occurrence. From what I remember about that post, (I wish I could find it!), the fellow found the question interesting, but couldn't corroborate any studies involving color. He went on to talk about assertiveness associations and we all grabbed the ball and started talking about how calicos, (who are usually female and feisty), would logically be more likely to become infected because they're more likely to not back away from a fight. Did that help, or are you still confused? :) Nina catatonya wrote: I am SOOO confused! lol. I don't remember who started this topic, but were they saying the majority of ALL fiv cats are calicos or the majority of female positives only?? Because I do know there are many more male fiv positives than females. So it wouldn't make sense if most fiv's are calicos because most are males and male calicos are rare. Does that make sense? Someone straighten me out!!! My fiv was black by the way t

Re: Happy New Year to All
Oh Belinda that's such encouraging news about Stacy's Samba! That little Charlie has really touched my heart, (not to mention his mom). Thank you so much for posting the detailed info about the lymphoma group. Please everyone, pray for Charlie's good health!

Update on Kitty Thrown from Car
Saw my barn mate that took Kitten two weeks ago. She took her to the vet that day. I knew she was, but hadn't seen her since then. Kitten was 3 - 4 weeks old, looks like a Russian Blue, has these wonderful eyes! She was named "Natasha". The lady that took her lives with her mother and Natasha is being the mom's cat. The lady taht took her is in her 40's and he mom is in her 70's... She said that the day Natasha went home her mom had a silver bowl full of candy in the living room. Kitten moved all the candy onto the floor in a few paw swipes, curled up in the dish, and has been royalty ever since! Said she's pretty much top cat (or at least the big cats let her think that!) of her crowd. So, Natasha has a wonderful home, is well loved, and looks to be a permanent fixture! Steph
Re: FIV and calico
i think it's all my fault--i happened to mention that, at the sanctuary where i lived and worked, the majority of the FEMALE fiv's were calico. as the human spokesperson for CaLiCo (Calico Liberation Coalition), it made perfect sense to me, as it is well-known that calicos are the most adventurous of all cats and especially love to party darn, there i go again--it's a JOKE, folks. not that the majority of the girl positives were calico, because that is indeed true, but that there's any logical or physiological or demographic reason behind the observation. (tho, there's no evidence against the theory, either.)

Re: Happy New Year to All
Dawn, Charlie is beautiful. I recommend that you also join the feline lymphoma group, which I think is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/feline_lymphoma. They are extremely knowledgeable about lymphoma and chemotherapy. Welcome, Michelle
Mixed topics
Here is one of usual mixed topic messages. Calico Yes male calico cats are rare as they only occur due to genetic mutation. Ewok So good to hear Ewok is doing well Jenn - hope he continues to be better for some time yet although I understand how it feels to be thinking of what time you have left together. Frederico He sounds lovely Tad and so glad he has settled in well - I'm sure he will continue to be a happy boy with you. Pansy So sorry to hear of Pansy going to the bridge Gloria - I hope you can gain comfort knowing that Pansy is no longer in pain and was lucky to have you as mommy. Michelle, Minstrel, Buddy & Angel Bramble
Re: Happy New Year to All
Hello Dawn, Your sweet Charlie is adorable. His picture makes me want to stick my face in his fur and snuggle him! I can only imagine what you are going through. I'm sure you're devastated by his diagnosis. It's so hard, so many of us have been where you are. I don't have experience with lymphoma, so I can't help with specifics of treatment. Michelle Lerner has unfortunately dealt with cancer with many of her animals and has helped give support and great advice with what you two are facing. Why don't you do a search on the archives to benefit from the group's help while you wait for the group to respond to you and Charlie? I know there is a lymphoma group out there, (it's been mentioned on our list), that may be able to help also. I'm sending you, Charlie, and the rest of your family prayers and healing energy to help give you strength through this very difficult time. We do understand. Like you, my fur-companions are my babies, my friends and my soul mates. Give Charlie a kiss and head butt from me, be brave, love him and cherish him, (as I'm sure you do all your babies). Do your best to shake off any premature grieving and BE with him, right now, happy in the moment. After all, the loving moment of right now, is what truly matters. Never forget, miracles do happen, where there is life, there is hope. Much love to you, Nina
Re: Happy New Year to All
Welcome to the list Dawn, I'm sorry you had to join us because Charlie is so sick. You will get a lot of good advice on this list. It is normally a little slow on weekends, but you will always get a lot of support and information. Post away if you have any questions. tonyaDawn Allen Lawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, I am new to this group but hope to gain a lot of insight and provide some support.

Please keep Charlie in your prayers. Thanks so much and Happy New Year. Dawn in Seattle

Welcome to the group Dawn! Sorry, you had to find us this way. But with my experience with this group you will find all kinds of information to your questions.
