ears and paw pads can get hot when they're excited and happy... What a pleasant suprise to find that this thread is about happy cats. I thought it was one of those troll posts about recipies for cooking kitties.

All in all, things are going pretty well around here! I'm working on my donations pick-ups for alley cat rescue at work, have managed to work in a little raw chicken liver into all the cat's (well...maybe not Misty's!) canned foods, and, amagingly enough, h0p is doing much better! I thought I saw...

Vets (3 different ones) were at a loss as to the problem. Joe eventually saw...

LS, our 2 year old female Ragdoll has been eating very little for months now. She used to have a healthy appetite, but since last February she doesn't really like to eat.
