Thnk you all for the advice
I got a box of 1000 coffee stir sticks at Office Max for $3.75
They are round. On line, I could not find flat ones ANYWHERE. Round must be cheaper to make. And I did not have time to order them on line, anyway. But the ones at Office max are larger in diameter than the ones I had seen at four local places that serve coffee. They are large enough that I can flatten the end, and they work great! I'm set for about 2.5 years. If Kenzie does well, of course But I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, while remaining very worried. Kenzie has been getting a LOT of extra attention, scritches, brushing, etc., since this started. So far, she does not act at all sick. I just hope that continues. Thank you all for your support. I ordered a full pallet of sardines. Just kidding. But I do need to stock up; I only have 3 tins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

I ordered a full pallet of sardines. (snip) You had me going there, I was trying to imagine what a full pallet of sardines would look like, all those little cans, until I got to the next sentence. Very good! I'm glad you found what you needed, Karla |

I'll get more, later this week, too Tonight and all day tomorrow, we are supposed to get anywhere form 3 to 8 inches of snow.
