Thanks, Sandra and Mary, for the good wishes and encouragement. That's our idea, Mary, that it's best that she eat something, anything, if she won't eat the kidney food. She will eat some of the KD kibble but not very much.

Thanks, Sandra, about the Royal Canin Kitten Food. I found Royal Canin Babycat34 Food (dry) at Pet Supplies Plus today and got a bag. They didn't have Whiskas Ultra Milk. Is that a substitute for cats with lactose intolerance, or milk replacement for kittens that don't have mommy to nurse from? I got some JustBorn Milk Replacer for Kittens, but I'll wait until I hear what to look for before I try that.

I just served up a little of the Babycat (tiny morsels, indeed!). She sniffed it, pulled back, sniffed again, pulled back again. I put a pellet in her mouth a few times. She would suck it a bit, then let it drop back into the dish. Finally she put her head down and started eating! So at least it has aroused some interest. Maybe she'll like it more with the Ultra Milk!

Mary, that's great that Puddy has been going strong for two years in CRF! Thanks to her and you and the fur posse for the good wishes.

Sandra, this morning the weather people on TV were going crazy about the storm. They were running listings of all the school systems closed today. (I thought later, they were probably all closed anyway because today is Martin Luther King Day.) They said it's going to be freezing rain all day, then sleet and snow tonight. It was like, don't go out if you don't absolutely have to, and we're really gonna be walloped.

Tihs afternoon there was a glaze of ice on and around things. Tree branches and power lines fell in many places so power was out in many communities, but by and large things were going on as usual. Then this afternoon the "ice storm" warning was cancelled, and there are just going to be a few snow flurries. So, somehow we survived safely.

That's the latest. Thanks again, dear friends!

Pat and Priscilla
