Just a quick update. Peanut is doing well right now, he seems to have a good appetite and is eating his dry and canned food very well. Drinking some water and staying well hydrated. The cortisone shot seems to have helped with appetite and thirst like the vet thought it would. He is very happy...

Thank you so much for this post. I will be joining those groups as well. The part of this that makes me feel blessed is that my vet isn't pressuring me to do anything; more than anything, he wants to follow my lead in this. I mentioned the intereferon (as one of my cats has taken it in the...

Thank you for this reply. I have been a cat mom for 10 years now but was ignorant about this virus until today.  I am very worried about my other cats, age 7, 5 and 1. I am glad that my youngest got in to see the vet at only 6 weeks and got shots then. He may be the only lucky one. I will be...

Thank you all for your helpful replies, I really appreciate them all.  I have not refilled the waterers yet but instead have been using bowls of water. It's working fine for now but as soon as my husband gets something figured out, I'll take a picture to share with you all. Thanks for making...

Great ideas, thank you!!! The bricks are a great idea but I really like the bungee and plywood idea better! I guess my husband has some work to later, lol!  Thanks :)

We are pretty busy and it's been very convenient to use the automatic waterers. We have to refill them about every two days which is much easier than refilling water bowls a gazillion times a day. Although not using them may be the only option I have at this point. I put the cat in a room for a...
