I'm sure the cats don't mind at all... (G)

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

Yeah, it's understandable... but it's tough to lose a good vet....

 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...  :)

 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... :)
