Hi Everyone, thank you Sara for inviting me to join

Cora is doing great. She went to the eye specialist today. She was one eye that is abnormally large because of secondary glaucoma. He feels that it would be best to go ahead and remove the eye. He does not feel that she is in any great pain (and her behavior leads me to believe he is correct) but he said it does cause them occasional headaches, so next week we will have that done. Her other eye has a completely detached retina that could be caused by trauma or worms of all things. Apparently round worms can cuase blindness in cats and dogs.

Someone asked how did she do with the fleight? Apparently did ok, she was not fearful when picked her up, as a matter of fact she had one paw out of the crate reaching out. I moved her into a larger crate (it is a 2 hour drive home from the airport) so she would have a litter box and gave her food and water. She dove into the food, ate for a bit and then curled up in the litter box and took a nap.

She is adjusting pretty good. She is not fond of the other cats (which is a shame, they are very friendly) when they are not around (they go outside alot) she comes out in the rest of the house but prefers to stay in my daughters room more. Although, she did meet Stephanies ferrets the other day, lets just say, she was not amused LOL...

Someone asked how old is my daughter. She is almost 12. We have been a foster home for the local animal shelter for 5 years and have had over 90 fosters with us over the years. she has shared her room many a time with cats. The shelter would give her the feral kittens to tame.

I wanted to thank Sara for letting us adopt her as our new family member. She is a delight!!
