But, Michael, you need to know that you are so, so wrong to say what you do about Belinda. You couldn't be more wrong. Having read numerous of Belinda's posts over the years I have nothing but enormous respect for her and her knowledge of caring for cats and leukemia cats in particular. I was one FeLV newbie who was hugely grateful in the early days, when I knew nothing about the disease, that she belongs to this list. But she doesn't just belong: For me, two facts in particular demonstrate her commitment: One, Belinda is a co-founder of this group (which for many years was the most wonderfully supportive and generous list anyone could hope to belong to -- it's been very sad and quite remarkable to see what just one person's ill-conceived remarks can do to start the ball rolling in the opposite direction. The group is a shambles now; I won't disagree with that). Two, Belinda initiated and maintains the Candlelight Service. When 4 of my FeLV cats succumbed over time to the disease, being able to memorialize them on the list was the most wonderful comfort (and still is). I have Belinda to thank for that, as many of us do. Kerry M.

Actually, no, I don't think I will. I posted an emotionally neutral, nonspecific post in response to that rubbish you've been spouting off, and you attack me. Prepare thyself for my response. You, and a couple of others on this list, seem to try and bully everyone else into thinking the way you do. I don't think you have the cat's best interest at heart. I think you have your clique in your sights, the people you like for whatever reason, and the hell with everything else, including the facts. Does this group not have a moderator? I assure you, as small as my group is, this kind of thing is not and would not be tolerated. You have been so negative. Both here and on other lists we are both on. I don't get it. I don't understand how this type of behavior is benefitting you. What do you get out of it? How the hell is it so easy to look over the fact that a judge agreed with animal control on the situation? Contrary to what you want to believe, I seriously doubt animal control had a vendetta against Kelly. Or anyone else for thatmatter. I don't know who the hell you think you are, but let me state very clearly for you I don't personlly care what you, or anyone else on this list who defends that type of hoarding, says or thinks about me. My *only* concern is for the safety, health and welfare of ALL of God's little creatures...what you think of me for that is of no consequence to me. Quite frankly, you're just not important enough to matter. How dare you call *me* naive? What's funny to me is you choose to be so damn conspiracy theorist as to say the judge is corrupt, animal control is corrupt, the news is corrupt, they're all out to get poor little Kelly Jesus, Lady. What kind of world are you living! in? You can stand by whatever you want to. I hope that email you sent to Jim gets some attention, indeed, because I absolutely will be unsubscribing after this. I don't need to have to listen to people like you. I have enough of a real life and real issues to deal with without putting up with this insanity. It is NOT ok for someone to use this group as a fundraising campaign, and then have two (all I've seen so far is two, that should tell you something) people defending her and trying to crush any opposing viewpoint. You think that shows maturity to email the list owner and ask on a public forum for someone to be removed because you don't like them? I'll copy the list owner as well, just so I'll feel important and special too. You can believe whoever you want and whatever you want, but so far the evidence has been provided by animal control and not Kelly (at least I haven't seen any pictures of a clean house either, have you?) I don't know Sheila, or Susan personally, but I know Sheila's sanctuary took in 15 of the cats. What have YOU Done to help the situation other than spout off? Ya know what, bottom line is there are too many other useful sources of information out there to put

Re: We are having issues
I'm new here but I think I might be able to help. I was having a similiar issue with my kids. Waco, 9 yr old siamese who we are pretty sure is FeLV+ started getting real aggressive with 2 of my other weaker, sick cats. Yota, 8 yr old siamese, FeLV+ and Jake, 14 yr old orange tabby with an injured paw. I've been doing a lot of research into holistic treatments of FeLV because I had 2 vets tell me there is nothing that can be done for Yota (lympathic leukemia). I was at Good Earth (the natural/herb store) and was talking with a very nice sales lady and I happened to mention Waco's aggressive behavior. She suggested using a flower essense called Vine Essence. According to the book we were looking at it helps with domination issues. It helps cats who feel the need to pick on weaker, sick or smaller cats. She suggested putting it in their water or diliuting it and rubbing it on their ears when getting some luvs from you. She also told me that it would not affect the other cats if I put it in their water. The essenses only affect the one with issues. I also found an article that might help you if this is something your considering : http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2002_June/ai_86387597 . All I know is that I used it and it worked. Now when Waco starts playing I AM ALPHA CAT I either rub some on his ears or put a couple of drops in his liquid vitamins and all that goes in a dropper straight down the hatch! And I hate to say this but you might have Penelope checked out. She could be sick or having issues your not aware of yet. Usually the alpha cats will harrass the weak or sick. Out in the wild these animals would be killed by the alpha. Just something to think about. Also, I was wondering what if any kind of treatments are you giving your FeLV+ cat? - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thursday, November 8, 2007 7:56:13 PM Subject: We are having issues Ok, guys. I hope someone can figure this situation out, because I'm at my wit's end. Two of my girls are NOT getting along, and I don't know what to do. Penelope (FeLV negative, 2 years old, very standoffish personality, not a friendly type cat, doesn't want to be held, only wants attention when SHE wants it, a loner, etc) and Grizzabella (FeLV positive, 7 years old, very friendly, never met a stranger, not so much a lap cat, but doesn't mind being petted and isn't afraid of strangers at all) are constantly at each other. :( They never really liked each other, but the last few months it has gotten progressively worse. To the point that Penelope is afraid to come out of the bedroom. She was pooping/peeing under the bed. And I know it was just because she was afraid of Grizzabella and wouldn't come out of the bedroom. We finally had to put a litterbox in there for her, and food/water. What I have noticed is they seem to attack each other, depending on their mood, but one always jumps the other. They can't even pass in the hall without fighting, and I don't know what to do. There doesn't seem to be any precursor/cuase. All it seems to take is one of them seeing the other and they're off. I'm really worried Bella is going to end up scratching Penny and infecting her. Right now when they start I just put Bella in the guestroom for a few hours so Penelope can come out of the bedroom, and then when we leave of the morning I let Bella out and Penelope spends the day in the bedroom. Any of you guys had any success with behavior modification? I welcome any thoughts/ideas on what has worked for you guys in the past. Poppy, the third one in the house proper, gets along with both of them, for the most part. I've seen Poppy jump Penny a time or two, but certainly nothing like the other two. :( Penny and Poppy do well together most of the time (they both sleep in my bed at night). Any ideas?

Re: We are having issues
Your welcome, but you know all the lady at the natural/herb store said was add a few drops to their water or get a small dropper bottle (the kind cat medicines usually come in) add a few drops to that and fill the rest with spring water. The whole holistic approach is based on no-contaminates in food or water. Personally I didn't have any bottled water on hand so I used (yuk!) tap water. Then just take that and rub some on the ears. Or take the dropper and dribble some in the mouth. I've been making adjustments since then and I have been giving both Waco and Yota a specialized vitamin formula I make myself and just added the drops to that along with a few drops of crab apple essense for cleansing. I like to put it all together so that I can miminize the number of times I have to stick a dropper in their mouth. But with them being sick I'm paranoid that they won't get enough of the immune system building vitamins or the cell rebuilding vitamins if I put it in the food for all the cats. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, November 9, 2007 12:20:53 PM Subject: Re: We are having issues Thanks for the response, Unusually_Unique! I'll certainly try it. What is the recommended dosage if you add it to their water? I'm sure you can't really overdose persay, but with the FeLV, I like to be as cautious and careful as possible. I have two FeLV positives, and two negatives. One of the negatives is mixed with the two positives as they have been together long before I knew of Poppy and Bella's diagnosis. The fourth is a rescue I recently took in and have him in my sunroom (where he seems to be perfectly content). As for treatments, right now my primary focus is high quality dry foods (Innova EVO) supplemented with L-Lysine (500mg daily) and Missing Link Veterinary Formula. The supplements are mixed in Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys wet food morning and night. I looked at and considered the antiretrovirals (ImmunoRegulin, Inferferon Alpha), and after consideration (and the advice of four different vets, including two from the UT College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital) decided to hold off on treating with them with the drugs until the girls are symptomatic. I have no idea how long they've been positive, but they've never had any symptoms at all. We just happend to find the FeLV during their routine checkups. -Original Message- From: laurieskatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 1:14 pm Subject: Re: We are having issues THANK-YOU UU, I have these issues here and have been at my wit's end.
