I cross-posted to Cats in Calgary, a Yahoo group. I hope the moderators will allow it in, and someone will help.

From Shy Guy's mom today:

Hello Angels!
I have been diligently working on baking cookies, brownies and cupcakes to raise for Shy. Me and my friends and partner will be selling these for donations at out local Natural Food Market. Theres alot of traffic through there and many animal lovers. Im hoping it will be a big success. As for Shy Guy, he's not doing so well today. he's been very lethargic and tired. Just not himself. I'm really worried about him. He's been hacking on and off a little today and he hasn't for awhile now. He's been resting a great deal today, he still eating which is good. I think there was a question posted about how large his chest is. He is normally a bit barrel chested anyway, being the big ol tiger he is. But yes his chest is expanded and enlarged even more due to his intestines etc being pushed up through his chest cavity, causing him extreme duress when he breathes. Thank you all for your continued help, support, prayers and kind words. Shy sends his love to all of you. I'm in the midst of packaging all the goodies and still baking so I will post again asap. Have a wonderful day Angels.
Blessings,
Shea
