JK> Well, he had two cysts the vet removed that day... the larger on his

Hopefully it won't grow back or have spread...

JK> Yeah, unfortunately the vet didn't go into it with Ron to that degree.
I'm mostly going on what I've picked up from friends and family having
cancer surgeries....

JK> Agree there... I had hoped she would be more, I don't know..
JK> Mobile-Vet-ish Lol When we lived in Windsor we had the greatest vet and
JK> he WAS a great 'mobil-vet'. He traveled to our house in Windsor with
JK> his dog-vet-mobile .. Much later, I called his office and asked
JK> him if he'd make the extra mileage trip to Slaterville Springs (he was
JK> an absolutely great vet!!), but he said no, he wouldn't come this far
JK> darn it. I understand really though.. it's quite a jaunt to get up
JK> here...
Yeah, it's understandable... but it's tough to lose a good vet....
>>> none of the kittens survived, though....
>> Ah that's too bad.. did the mom reject them? I had a mom cat that did

> She didn't get a chance to reject them... none of them survived
> birthing, their necks were broken as she tried to push them out....
JK> eek, that is horrible, but that's nature I guess.
Yeah... she wasn't trying to kill them, just to birth them.... and
nearly died herself in the process...
JK> I still have these pictures of them online...
JK> http://www.filegate.net/gallery/cats/index.1024px.html
JK> Just click on the kitty name ... checking this link tonight cracked me
JK> up... Lizzie truly looks so evil And leo looks majestic for
JK> sure.
I'll try to take a look... :)
> I'd be inclined to omit the tomato sauce.... halved cherry tomatoes
> instead sounds a bit better.... :)
JK> I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes from my little indoor gardens
JK> (Aerogarden) so that was great, they were soooooo sweet :) Right now I
JK> have 3 of them going. They are so neat to have as fall is def. here now
JK> and winter is around the corner.
You should be able to keep them going through the winter....? That's a
very nice thing to have... :)
