Mark,

So sorry to learn you kitty is very ill.  Although we are dog people, we had
Morris for 13 years and he was a treasure. Duffy, the Cairn Terrier, and
Morris loved to tussle. Morris, too, allowed us to place our heads on his
pillows if we did not take up too much room.

Morris died of kidney failure and we were told the cat food manufacturers
put ash in the food which eventually destroys their kidneys. No one has told
us why ash is placed in cat food.

I hope your kitty pulls through this one.

Don R.

Don R.
