animal diseases that can pass to humans. Since he's been sick off and on for about six months, and since I'm very prone to kissing kitties on the nose, and he sleeps with me, and I clean those litter boxes, guess what the chances are that I have it. This feels a little like admitting that you have a "social disease", hee hee hee. But now I have to find out if my lady that helps me clean house has been exposed, and the ladies that come and help with my medication, etc. etc. Well, fooey. It's treatable with specific antibiotics, if I do. It's also treatable in the cats, but of course Dancer is older, so it's kind of iffy, and I'd certainly appreciate your prayers for him. He's been in the hospital for a week or so, on fluids and glucose because he's lost so much weight. But I've got 6 cats and a dog, and now they've all got to be tested, and probably medicated, and the litter has to be thrown out and the boxes sterilized every day, and on and on. And Dancer has to be kept away from the others, oh ha ha, like he hasn't been sleeping with them and me and licking them and me for the past 6 months. This would be a nightmare if it wasn't so ridiculous. Nah, I think I'll just go with nightmare. Anyway, keep us in your prayers, especially my little boy, because he's been with me longer than my two lost husbands. Both those ol' cat haters learned to love and appreciate cats because of him. And I surely hope I havn't infected half the medical community here, I'm not sure yet how this is passed between people, if it is. I haven't soul-kissed the cleaning lady, anyway, so maybe there's hope. That's a joke, guys, ok? Just trying to keep this ridiculous situation in perspective. Keep us all in your prayers, especially that the antibiotic works for Dancer, and that the toxoplasmosis hasn't caused him any worse problems that can't be fixed, like Peritonitis. Thanks, friends, I appreciate it. Hugs, Marji
