toughcookie, yes, th is my 3rd cat to be sick, and all at once. I found them this way after my return from Tucson, Ariz. And from the way they greeted me, I believe that it will be necessary to find a more cat-friendly person to pet sit, should it be necessary for me to leave for a week or so again.

Otis is nearly back to normal, I suppose he will be comepletely healed in a week or so.
