[Felvtalk] My Moe

[Marsha]

Re-routing this back to the list, since the reply was sent to me 
privately, but is meant for Leslie and Moe.   However, I personally 
would avoid completely raw meat for a FeLV+ cat due to the virus 
compromising the immune system.  On the other hand, my Harley sometimes 
catches his own snacks that find their way into the garage.  I guess 
that's about as raw as it gets.  I put Profender on him to prevent worms.

I also gave her a tonic that I take following using salve on my cancer.  It is great for everything, tastes awful, but does work.
