You may end up keeping her, be careful you dont get too attached. Shes a cutie.

Thanks, Shirlene, for even reading this in the midst of your sorrow. Vet bills, ah, well. She needed help NOW, not in a few days when the shelters could figure out who was going to take her, etc. I've seen these infections go from bad to hopeless in a day, there's no time to wait, especially for babies. Too many die. Deal with it when the credit card bill comes, I guess, no help for it. Life is life, even in tiny packages, and it's all sacred to me. 'Specially kitties, hee hee hee. Hope you're doing ok, love, Marji

Bella should enjoy the puppies, most dogs enjoy each other. Cats, not so much. Everybody hates Polly right now, they hiss at her under the door. I have to keep them separate, because I don't need infection spreading to the rest of the 'herd'. Dancer, my big neutered tom, loves kittens. He's sitting by the door, purring to her, waiting to lick her all over. He lets kittens walk all over him, bite his ears, pounce on his tail, and he just grabs them around the neck and kisses their little faces! When Polly is cleared by the vet, I'll let Dancer 'mother' her. Hope your friend has good luck with her rescues, too. I never mean to, but they seem to just show up at the door, sigh, wish they had bags of money tied around their necks. It's hard, but how can you not save a life? I love your graphics, especially the lovely Sheltie! Hugs, Marji

Oh, sorry, Denice, yes, polydactyl means that they have extra toes. Not due to inbreeding, just a recessive gene, like the Manx gene for having no tail, or the merle gene that gives you a merle sheltie instead of a tri-color. Although, personally, I think since we invented can openers, cats are evolving thumbs so that they can open thier own cans of cat food!! As much as I love dogs, dogs would never have the sense to do this, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji
