Cats

[libby]

Libby - check with Spay/USA and Friends of Animals (google) they can direct you to low cost or free services. When we had the black cat spayed it was extremely cheap. I want to say it was under 70 bucks for the visit, procedure and complete shots and testing. They tested for feline HIV and Leukemia.

Thanks, Sandy!

Come to think of it, that's how I got my last cat, a sweet grown neutered male. My next door neighbor caught him in a trap and had called the county animal shelter. I looked into the cage, straight into the bluest eyes I'd ever seen on a cat and said, I'll take him. I got him when everything had been done. He was wary of me for a while, so I just fed him and let him make the first move. It was mutual affection after that.

As for Emma, I guess she will need everything. The person who brought her to me was visiting in N.C. and brought her back because the owner of the mama cat was going to get rid of the kittens.

Well, didn't have a chance to call about getting little Emma fixed. She's now 2 1/2 days into heat again    Seemed like she moaned and made various other noises all night long. I finally got up about 4:30, made myself some coffee, put fresh food and water out for her. She looked as tired as I felt while her little bottom, well, was ready for action. She was at my feet as I drank my coffee, and, without thinking, I ommmm'd her. She looked up at me with those big green eyes as if in surprise, so I did it again, and again, and she stretched out on her side, her little behind no longer wriggling. I think she may have gone to sleep, but can't be sure because the next thing I knew, I woke up. She followed me around (normal for her) as I fixed breakfast, went upstairs to shower and dress and get ready for the day. When she started that funny little whiny moan, I ommm'd and every single time it worked!

Still feel sleepy myself ....
