Thanks everyone. Spanky, so far, is doing fine. Will probably have him treated as a precaution. I'd NEVER forgive myself if something happens to him. I did get up the nerve to tell DH what transpired and he feels bad for me having to go through this alone, since he works away from home all week.

Alwayz ... it's sad that it had to get to that point. I had a cat with ringworm once, none of my other cats got it and neither did I. It was a pain to have to bath him in iodine & give him meds but we managed. He lived almost 17 years.

Angus Oh no, I'm so sorry. I've heard of ringworm but despite all the cats I and my family have had over the years, I've never known any who contracted it. I didn't know it could be a life-or-death disease. Again, I'm sorry. I hope you are better soon, at least physically. I realize recovering from the loss will undoubtedly take much longer.

Hey Alwayz. Angus went across the Rainbow Bridge with a friend of mine's little brusel griffon (sp?) puppy this morning. Her little Lucy had a genetic defect (they think) that made her trachea close up. Sad day I think Leia is doing better. She is running/jumping around, so whatever her problem was, she seems to be fine now. I think I just might have a little drama queen here.. LOL

{{Alwayz & Angus}} I'm so sorry. Glad Leia is OK. Sometimes you just never know what happened but as long as she's feeling better so soon, I'm sure it wasn't anything serious.

{{{Alwayz & Angus}}} I'm so sorry! I'd guess he was so affected because he was so young or had a weakened immune system? My first black cat managed to fall out of a second story window (after pushing out the screen) into a dog run below. The people below (who owned the building) were irate when we suggested that is where he got ringworm but it certainly was. He got a little cut on the head and developed the ringworm right there. But it was quickly treated and didn't spread to us or the other cat.

I think I had reported that Shiela was gone (little cat whose ears had been cut off) and think I also reported that no, she was in a foster home.. well yesterday, Shirley told me that Shiela NOW has her home!!! On the other hand, the other day Johnnie and Cody were gone to a home but she told me yesterday that they were coming back. The woman who took them had one small cat and that cat took great exception to these new big brothers. So sad for them. But Nikki who was the most charming of grey tabbies, has gone to a home now. And a couple of others have moved on.

Hi guys, If anyone has any thoughts on this, either good or bad, will you please let me know cause I am just not sure what to think about Scrappy! The little guy will be 11 weeks old on Monday. He was weighed last Thursday and was 1 pound 8 ounces. He was weighed again today, one week later, and has gained nothing since the last weigh-in. So, I am wondering if this can be normal? Is he ok? I am not really sure what to think except that I am very concerned!

Hmmm....you might go with your gut feeling on this! If he isn't gaining weight at this age...could be a number of things and you don't need a big vet bill to keep him. There is going to be the perfect cat out there for you..it's almost like this postponement means he isn't for you. But that is just my feeling on it.

Oh my word! I am so excited and I can't hide it! I'm about to loose control and I like it!! I am getting a kitty! Scrappy is coming to live with me in a few days! More details in my folder! Thanks to all of you who sent positive thoughts and prayers my way! I am so happy and I so appreciate all of you!

I going to pretend these are cats so that more of you get to see these little sweethearts. Wouldn't you just love to have a handful of them for a few minutes. Look at the little hand. Too cute to be believed.

OG, those are just about the cutest things I've ever seen! On the subject of cats: Do any of you use the Comfort Zone Feliway Plug-ins? I ask because I somehow ended up buying the Feliway refill instead of the DOG version (and I have a dog). And, of course, I didn't notice until I had already opened the thing up, so it can't be returned. If any of you are interested, I'd be happy to send you the one I bought in error. Just let me know.

Cdbga - I've used it before but don't need it because my cats have calmed down. Thanks for the offer though. I have a suggestion. Why not donate it to your vet or shelter? They might be able to use with a nervous kitty or pass it along to someone who could use it but can't afford it. Baby - congrats on your decision. Sounds like Scrappy was meant to be yours.

Thanks Retired! I am going through something and I just can't figure it out. I was wondering if any of you can relate to it or might have some thoughts that you could share with me. I knew for sure on Friday that Scrappy will definitely be coming to live with me. He will be arriving, as far as I know, on Tuesday. Since Friday, I have just really been loosing it more when I think about Baby and I am not sure why. I look at her pic or think about her and just break down. I did that before but not nearly as much as I am now since I found out Scrappy will be my new little friend. I usually have a pretty good handle on my feelings but this one is beyond me. I want to try to get past this before Tuesday so I am not falling apart when Scrappy is here, especially in the beginning!

Baby, you can feel badly about Baby for as long as you need to. There is a Baby-shaped place in your heart that Scrappy won't be able to fill; but as surly as God loves you, you have a place in your heart that only Scrappy will fit perfectly into. When he shows up you can tell him all about Baby. He will not get tired of hearing about her. He'll make a great sounding board and help ease you into the next chapter of your adventures with a furbaby.

Awwww, thank you, OG! What you said really makes sense and you wrote it in such a beautiful and perfect way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, it really helps! I already have started telling Scrappy about Baby and Baby about little Scrappy! When I look at both of their pics, side by side, I do talk to them. I also have asked Baby to help me watch over the little guy and I know she will, OG. She has given me a definite sign that she would!

Leia got another set of shots today. She last went in 21 days ago. She weight 3.2 lbs then. Today she weighs 4.2. She's growing like a weed! She is crashed on the couch now.
