Anyway, his name was Reuben and we are searching for a better name. The possibilitties so far are Cocoa, Chocolate Boy, and Whitman, none of which I care for.

Re: O/T
I've used the remedy stuff before for Mr. Kitten and myself. The place I got it was just a regular nutrition store so I figured it was safe for me too. However, it doesn't taste that great and I didn't really feel much different, but who knows, maybe I didn't take enough, or maybe I was too relaxed in the first place, haha. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 2:13 PM Subject: Re: O/T Can humans take that bach remedy for grief?

Odd Behavior
Just recently Mr. Kitten has been acting sort of odd. There have been several times he's been curled up sleeping or just lounging around and then will let out this sort of low growl/meow noise and raise his little rear end up, then lie right back down and go to sleep or whatever it was he was doing before. Anybody have any idea if this is some sort of sign that he's in pain or something else? Just thought it was strange.. Ashley Check out the new AOL.

Re: Mr. Spock & L'il Abner
L'il Abner and Mr. Spock were very lucky to have each other's company. And all three are such cute kitties! My Mr. Kitten had a good friend that came home with him from the SPCA that he just loved dearly, but her mom decided to take her to a different house once we learned that Mr. Kitten tested positive. Sometimes I feel like Mr. Kitten loves being the only cat and getting all the attention but other times I feel like he's still looking for his lost friend. We've been reluctant to get another cat for the same fears, wondering whether or not he would get others sick. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 9:53 PM Subject: Mr. Spock & L'il Abner Hi All, We have decided to adopt another FELV+ cat for L'il Abner, hoping we won't lose this one too soon. It's been heartbreaking to lose Mr. Spock, as I'm sure you all know. Spock & Abner were the best of pals. They would wrestle & run all over and cuddle together and groom each other. Spock was just 6 months old when we adopted him, and we had him for one great year, before he started getting sick. He acted healthy & playful like your usual kitten. He grew so big that he had to go on a diet! But even at his largest, he was still a kitten to us, with his cute crooked ear (thus the name Spock) & kitten meow - his voice never changed. What a trooper! If you're interested in seeing some of my pictures, I've put Spock & Abner pics at the beginning of my photo gallery here: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/free/gallery.asp?memberID=151297. The next cat you see in the group is Bailey. She's the queen of the house & lives upstairs. She wants nothing to do with the boys, and it's better for her that she's kept separated, as she has IBD and being exposed to FELV could complicate things. Here's hoping 2007 brings us many joys with our kitties! Karen "If they don't have cats in heaven, I'm not going there." - Phil Masaoka Check out the new AOL.

Re: New cat on the block
Mr. Kitten has not received any vaccines since being diagnosed. He did receive a Prednisone shot that was administered in his neck, but I don't know if that is the normal spot for that injection or not. I live in a smaller town so it's hard to find a wide range of vets, expecially ones that are interested in handling Felv+ cats, but I'm working on it. In a message dated 12/19/2006 12:09:07 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Welcome to the list! Mr. Kitten sounds like he has a good mom. I think many vets just refuse to learn new things. Just out of curiosity, has the vet that told you to euthanise Mr. Kitten ever given him any vaccines? If so, can you tell me where he gave them (neck, scruff, side, leg)? I ask because if he's still giving vaccines in the scruff of the neck, he's obviously just someone who refuses to embrace new technology and studies and is just a bad vet for not continuing to work on his education. The most important thing is to feed the very best quality food you can afford, like Wellness, Innova, Chicken Soup, or other super-premium brands. Cat food should never contain corn or corn ingredients. After that, then you start adding general immune boosting supplements (same as you would take to boost YOUR immune system) like Vitamin C, Lysine, B Complex Vitamins, etc. Then you consider adding a FELV specific treatment, like Interferon, Acemannan, or Immunoregulin. Lots of it is just plain good nutrition, and I don't think any vet could argue with adding extra immune boosting vitamins and minerals to an animal's diet! Phaewryn
New cat on the block
So, I've just recently added to this list and have been reading just about everything I get in order to try and get the hang of things. My name is Ashley and I have a Felv+ cat named Mr. Kitten. I got him from our local SPCA in Jan 2004 and he will be turning four this upcoming January. Shortly after bringing him home Mr. Kitten had a runny nose that just wouldn't go away, so off to the first vet. This vet did no testing at all, just sent me away with antibiotics. Second vet ran all sorts of tests and this is when I learned that he was Felv+ The vet's first response was euthanasia, but since Mr. Kitten was an extremely happy (and healthy, for the most part) cat, I decided to take him back home. Upon hearing this decision the vet told me how the research on the internet is wrong and there is no cure and all the "supposed" treatments are just a waste of money. So I was a little put off from ever trying anything. I've recently been doing a lot more research and getting more involved and I am starting to see that there are different alternatives out there. As of right now I haven't been giving Mr. Kitten anything other than his regular food and water, but like I said, I'm new to the homeopathic world. I just watned to let you guys out there know that hearing such stories are so inspiring and it's really nice to know there are things that actually work and help. Just recently Mr. Kitten is becoming a little more picky about his food, one day he scarfs down everything in front of him and other days he has no desire for anything. It makes me a little nervous because I know that loss of appetite could lead to many other downfalls, but hopefully he is just being a brat. But anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and Mr. Kitten and let you guys know how grateful I am for people like you!
Slightly Confused
I just joined this mailing list and I am kind of confused as to how it works. I receive emails from others, but they are slightly erratic, sometime I will be getting the answer to a question, but never got the question, or vice versa. And also, is this the only communication or is there a website or anything of that nature? Any info would be helpful, thanks! :)
