Thank you Bobbie & everyone else who have written me. It's going to take a while for me to get over Ogie. ......Jean [Non-text portions of this message have...
Of course it will take awhile--I still miss Rally, too. But what I did was try to remember how much I learned from Rally about veterinary medicine, and how...
Oh, Jean, I'm so sorry. But if it's any consolation, the spirit lives on in all the stories and advice you've shared with this group. None of that goes away....
Mine get chicken legs.... I dip them in boiling water and make three or four slits down the length of the meat, and then they get 'em bone and all. Cats can...
Thank you Dani . .........Jean . . . Oh, Jean, I'm so sorry. But if it's any consolation, the spirit lives on in all the stories and advice you've shared with...
Thank you all for your advice about Lysine and picky kitties :) I gave it one more try with the stuff with the Vet, and she decided to take it. Now she is...
Does anyone know how long the herpes virus stays active, in the house after there is no longer a cat? . I'm still here. It's hard to leave. Somehow I feel...
Jean, I'm glad you're still here; we feel connected to you too. :-) I think it can only survive 48-hours without a host...nothing like distemper. Mary ... ...
Thanks Mary - I'm not thinking of getting another cat right now, but there's a cute black stray kitten wandering around,in the back yard. I never let him in...
... the best thing for you right now is to be around other cats. When I lost my baby girl 2 years ago today, I just cried and cried and the house was so empty....
Lucie - Thanks! That's what I did when I lost my Bogie, to cancer. I got Ogie who looked just like him. It did help, but now it's happened again. ......Jean...
Jean, I thought the same thing that Lucie describes when you said it was a little black guy, maybe sent by Ogie to ease your sadness...Nancy ... From:...
Nancy - I may not stay forever, but so far, I haven't been able to leave. ...Jean . . . Jean, So glad you decided to stay. Hope you are doing okay. Nancy ...
Hi Jean, I'm not sure either, but if you want you could clean everything with a bleach solution. That kills any germs it contacts, counters, floors, whatever...
I know, it is very hard losing our beloved babies. But, if this cat has no one and needs to be rescued, I'm sure you will have plenty of love to give this...
Nancy - It's not a black persian, but a little slick haired black kitten. Cute though. He was out there when Ogie was here. Ogie used, to look, at him...
Oh Jean, if there was ever a sign that this little one is for you, this is it...Ogie knew him and now this little guy can have a place in your life. I hope...
Nancy - Before I claim him/her, I'll have to find out if him/her belongs to someone in the neighborhood. .......Jean . . . Oh Jean, if there was ever a sign...
Jean, I would think not long at all. The virus needs a host, and I don't think carpets, etc., qualify! Just my best guess. Thinking of another kitty?... :) ...
Nancy, Let him into your heart. He will find his way into your house. My heart cat died last year in April. It was not herpes but IBD. It was very sad. ...
Lucie, I am so sorry. I know how you feel. It's been a year for me. ... From: "lucielmn" <lucielmn@...> To: <felineherpes@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday,...
Several of the Herpes sites say it is safe for another cat after 24 hours. Just for my own peace of mind, I would get a new litter box, food and water dishes...
I agree... can't imagine the virus would live for more than a few hours outside a host... which, of course, is long enough to infect other cats if you have a...
