Re: what kind of >tummy

How sad. It just hurts so bad that we can't do anything for them. I also
know that whatever I say isn't going to make it any easier.

   
  I am so sorry. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
   
  Hugs to you both...

for a few days that he was going down quickly. I think it's a result of the 
FIV. James was the same -- sudden dramatic weight loss and lethargy. Cal 
only lost his appetite this week. He responded to me when I came home this 
afternoon and "held" my finger while I rubbed him.. This cat's death is 
extremely sad for me because he has been such a faithful friend -- even when 
he moved around the corner. I'm so glad I brought him inside before the 
coyotes got him.
