Still wondering about good progressive vets in the Seattle area ...
thanks

Actually, there are two quite famous "families" that get lots of airtime on
Lifetime that have over 12 CHILDREN in their home. They OFTEN get asked if
they take proper care of them all, get accused of all kinds of things simply
because they have more kids than society deems acceptable. So, it happe

Just scanning some of these emails (meaning not reading as carefully as

recommendation of someone from this group - got a prescription for the

When I had a feral, Gigi Sue, she was in a kitty condo cage (2' x 3' x 4') and

Hi Debbie,
Where I live outdoor cats are all considered ferals. They don't count them
as part of the household. I found this interesting. A vet told me that. I
have always know we don't own cats they own us. My cats for the most part
have picked me out. The last one literally showed up under my p

Thanks for your comments Nina. It is appreciated. We were so relieved when our
babies tested negative. Although now I wonder if Elsa who was put to sleep was
actually positive.
We have tried to eliminate things that might make the scratchy ones less itchy.
I use advantage on them and that seems

Hi Sweetie,
I was just thinking about you this morning, it's so nice to see you
posting. About Charity... I have a feeling that once you get her in
the carrier and to the vet things will go more smoothly than you
suspect. As you know, I too have an overabundance of recalcitrant,
"formally"
Nina,
We must have been responding at same time.
But, I am SO glad you "reminded" me about the Chlor-Tabs.
Since Buster is very healthy, I just will have to start him on that! And,
he's another love-muffin - VERY pillable! (Unlike CharityDon't have the
nerve to even try pilling her

Thanks so much for posting your story about Nebs. Thank goodness you

Hi Sally,
I don't understand why your vet would suggest a "wait and see" approach
with a felv pos cat. Aggressive, immediate vet care is always something
that I recommend for all felv positive kitties. Their immune systems
are weakened and don't work as efficiently as cats without the virus.
Hi Debbie,
First let me say HURRAY! for the neg results on all your cats. Your
story has now been added to so many others on the list in confirming
that mixing doesn't seem to be as big a concern as the veterinary
community would have us believe. Such wonderful news for you and your
babies.
Thanks Sally. We never intended having the ones we have. Actually they all arrived at the same time. Seven (2 different litters) were found in a trash dumpster. A lady I worked with brought them to work - she couldn't keep them because she was allergic. We hand raised all seven. I refuse to walk
Hi Debbie,
I do not think they are chastising you. I personally do not intend to add

clean of the virus. Although things happen. A cat showed up during the

Ovaban goes way back -- about 25 years ago is when I first used it - it was
prescribed as a behavior modifier for a cat who peed everywhere -- back before
the days of amitriptylline and Prozac. The downside was that it could cause
breast cancer; and that it did, in my little April. Now it
