Re: 2 more babies to add to the CLS
Thanks, Tonya. I find it hard to understand how anyone could truly love Mr. Kitty's dad and not love Mr. Kitty. Mr. Kitty was just such a quiet, gentle old fella, not demanding or pushy.

Re: 2 more babies to add to the CLS
Susan, I don't know what to say. You must be horribly bereft with all of these losses. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry. I hope (and am pretty sure) you have some sweet kitties to see you through your grief. I've found it interesting over the years watching how everyone's 'status' changes when I lose one. My worst period was losing 3 in one year; nothing like what you're dealing with. I usually find that someone who used to stay on the fringes starts getting closer to me. I always try to think of it as some of my guys 'move on' to a better place so that others can develop deeper relationships with me. I doubt that helps you very much right now. But whenever I have a loss I start watching for who will take over that empty space on my bed. take good care of yourself. tonyaSusan Loesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Well, I guess sometimes when it rains it pours.

RE: 2 more babies to add to the CLS
How great that you took this little one in! I’m afraid that most FELV+ Katrina kitties did not meet such a wonderful fate! I know there are a number of people who posted lost reports on FELV+ cats and if you e-mail privately, we can see if maybe this litte one could be one of these… ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). You can imagine that the owners of these cats are really pretty frantic knowing the fate that awaited most!

I have a feline leukemia positive Katrina kitty now - our Director just brought her back last month.

Once she is 100% well I will bring her to work with me (AR School for the Blind Library) and she will be a wonderful Library Cat (will come home at night, tho) and will get as much attention and loving as any kitty could ever want.
