Feline CRF

July 5, 2010--I'm back after fighting a debilitating condition and am still undergoing a long recuperation. I'll never be as fast as I used to be, so slowly, in the coming weeks and months, I'll endeavor to get this site updated with new information.

Two more of our aged cats succumbed to CRF just before Christmas last year. One of them was Dust Bunny, the Himalayan below. During the five years I nursed Bunny, I learned more about CRF and new treatments being researched. Minou was a tiny munchkin cat who was always weak. She died after a year of treatment. I wish I could stay up all night and post everything I learned, but I just can't do things like that any more. Bit by bit.
