I want to cry but the cry is stuck in my throat. I guess Pidgie's mats are a blessing in disguise because, if they hadn't gotten so bad, I wouldn't have known about the possible CRF. She wasn't exhibiting any symptoms whatsoever. I just feel so bad for her. She has the sweetest disposition of any cat I've ever known. She's never had a sick day, an off day, yes, but never a sick day. And she's never given me any trouble at all. She gets along w/all the other cats, has never been destructive or peed inappropriately. She's the perfect cat. I don't want her to be sick. I don't want to lose her. Ok, now the tears are coming. Later....
