New Cat Virus??? i’s just gotted an email from Cindy, i’s gonna post it here cause i’s fink it be impurrtant.  Cindy writes: Now we’re on to something. This morning my mother’s adorable Belva, about 4 years old, inside, great health, fine yesterday – I saw her – comes down with the same symptoms Miss Piggy has. She is unresponsive, listless, and rolled up in a little ball. She is being hospitalized today, also. My parents are feeding outside cats. Before they went out of town a month or so ago, they had a dozen cats. Today there are two adults and 3 kittens (that had been hospitalized a week for runny eyes, cold, and nearly died)  one of their siblings died of it. My vet said he has noticed a number of the outside cats he feeds have disappeared. Are we dealing with a new virus? There is no sign of pet food toxicity just elevated enzyme levels indicating some sort of infection. Piggy has started to respond to the anti-biotic.

Will you pass this along to all the cat bloggers you know?  I want to find out if anyone has noticed anything or heard anything.  Somewhere along the line a few weeks ago when I was reaching the pet food poisoning I found a notation from someone who was beginning to suspect or consider the possibility of a virus. I think the only way we are going to track this down, if we are dealing with something new, is to keep asking questions.  I know I am driving Dr. Franklin’s staff crazy, but this morning, when I brought the subject up, his assistant said it was something to consider.
