Subject: Re: [CHAT] what kind of   >tummy

I came home tonight to realize Calhoun is dying. He is so weak he cannot
<br>get up from his bed. I do not believe he will last the night. I have
known <br>for a few days that he was going down quickly. I think it's a
result of the <br>FIV. James was the same -- sudden dramatic weight loss
and lethargy. Cal <br>only lost his appetite this week. He responded to
me when I came home this <br>afternoon and "held" my finger while I
rubbed him.. This cat's death is <br>extremely sad for me because he has
been such a faithful friend -- even when <br>he moved around the corner.
I'm so glad I brought him inside before the <br>coyotes got
him.<br>zem<br>zone 7<br>West TN<br>----- Original Message -----
