There is a pet psychic that many people use here - her name is Nancy Efrusy.

Believe me, don't think you've lost it. She is amazing. No money up front, she is flexible and loves animals.

I hope you can find a vet to check on a polyp. Also - with your cat George having breathing problems...the only common tie might be the air.

That filter might be worth it - it would be nice if you could borrow one, as you don't want to spend any more money than you have to. Then, if it works, you can buy it.

BTW - if surgery seems necessary for some reason, check out www.imom.org They help raise funds for non-regular surgeries. Just info for you.

ETA: Just watched the videos...Tiger is just gorgeous! I love his sweet face - he looks like such a love!

I hope the problem gets discovered quickly...poor baby!

HUGS to him and to you!
