Death Scare


After Hurricane Ike, we "acquired" another cat. Best we can tell, he was literally blown into the neighborhood. We could not find any owner and Sheri basically fell in love...and I reluctantly gave in. The other cats were not happy with "that." But Milo was eventually accepted.
About a week ago, Milo started acting sick - real lethargic, not eating well, eventually not eating or drinking at all. We took him to our veterinarian and she was baffled. Eventually, the vet though that he might be suffering from FIP - an acronym for a cat disease that is almost always fatal. We feared and prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. Yesterday, we got the call that he was a totally changed cat! Sheri went over to the vet's office and found Milo - the Milo we had before he got sick. We brought him home today, and so far things seem okay.
