Thank you to everyone who helped me with my feral cat problem.  Turns
out cat dermetologist specialist does not even know what is wrong, except
that he found bacteria on the slides from his scrapings of the areas
where Cat has licked off his fur.... And for this I paid $427.00.  I kid
you not.
 
Ringworm is HIGHLY contageous, and ferrets and people can get it, you all
wrote me.  So I am glad it is not that.
 
Cat is getting diarhea from the medicine that MAY be of some help, but
he is not acting as though he feels well.  I think it is making him feel
sick, and will discuss this with my regular cat vet..  But the ferrets
are still holding onto their fur, and seem perfectly healthy.
 
Sadly, two pound Mini-Me is enjoying more than her normal amount of her
surprise sneak up bites that make the poor, sick, weak cat scream, leap,
and run.  She chortles and does this football dance you see on TV when
someone makes a touch down.  Then she hugs herself, with her front legs
grasping her back legs, while still chattering away in excitement.  She
LOVES attacking the poor huge cat.
 
She is so lucky he accepts her as head of the house animals.  Several
times in the early years, he has wapped her so that she flew up in the
air, and was flung over a foot away.  That is just a hint of what he
could do to her.  I was blessed that it was this Cat that needed to be
rescued and brought into the house...of all the feral cats I could have
taken in.  I wish that I had his patience and self control.
 
I was in a car accident last week, and it still hurts to move my head at
all, so please forgive me for not being able to directly write every body
back personally.
 
And in closing, I was glad I warned you all about the E-bay scam.  I was
not sure if I should do that on the FML.  I learned a great deal from you
and purchased a new anti-virus software, and downloaded something else to
stop spyware I may have introduced, to protect the computer, as a direct
response to what you wrote me.  I did ask several techy people I know,
and they agreed with the info sent to me....Thank you.
