Gone two weeks and what happens? A flood of messages. Many about a
situation with which I'm not familiar, so I'll refrain from comment. This
ain't the same RPCA I left! :(
There were far too many threads to reply to them individually so I'll just
say
1) "get better" purrs to those in need,
2) Happy Birthday where appropriate,
3) congrats on successful job searches - hope they turn out to be
everything you hope for
4) housing purrs to those in need
There are many more threads than I can recount. I hope nobody will feel
left out.
On topic: DW went to pick up the cats where they had been boarded. Missy
was in her carrier, ready to go and Smokey was on his leash. Smokey,
however, didn't want to leave. He went exploring all over the
boarding/office area. Took them almost 10 minutes to corral him to get him
back into the car. Smokey's exams while we were gone showed stage 1 renal
failure. He's on a prescription diet now - fortunately he loves the stuff
and Mistletoe won't touch it. Vet thinks the diet will give Smokey several
more years. We're optimistic.
Glad to be back,
Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe

Wow. That is great that he loves the food! I gave Pearl some senior Science
Diet tonight (thinking that must be lower in salt than fancy feast) and she
tore into it. I hope that she continues to like it so well.

From the look of things (as someone who accesses the ng via the internet),
the holy-mess that took place over the past few weeks has died down
considerably. Thank goodness.
Purrs for Smokey's successful treatment with the prescription food, and
that you guys can buy him as much quality time as humanly possible.
Skritches to both kitties!

Welcome back, Sam! So sorry to hear about Smokey - I hope the food does the
trick and he get many, many more years with his slaves!
Hugs,

That seems to have passed, fingers crossed.

Sounds like some kids when you take them to their babysitter. It's
"Mom, I don't wanna go!" Then when you pick them up, it's "Aw, Mom, I
was having a good time!"

YAY Smokey!

You chose a good time to be away. Actually I was only thinking about you a
day or so ago and wondering when you'd be back, so welcome back Sam.

It's getting back there now.
Purrs for Smokey, kidney disease can now be controlled for many years if
found early like Smokey's was.

Welcome back, Sam!
Purrs for Smokey that he may, like our Cosmo, have many, many years
left with you.

I faced that same problem when I got back from the island. I soon
realised I could just delete whole threads and not miss anything
important, nice, funny, or cute. Glad to see that the group is returning
to normal now (or maybe the trolls are still posting - I've killfiled
them so wouldn't know).

I'm still optimistically hoping to read the 4,900+ messages I currently
have left...

Glad to see you back. Frank has been doing very well on his kidney diet
(Waltham's Renal wet food). The bloodtests in May showed that his kidney
values are purrfect. Purrs that Smokey does well on his diet, too.
