Hi Alli - Jasper's arrival sounds like my current cat, Ginger's arrival. Only it was October or November. I'd put an empty cardboard box on the front porch under a small table, put blankies inside & draped a towel as a partial door so that Kali (Jay's cat who died of FIP we think), who loved outside & sometimes hadn't come in at bedtime, could cosy herself. Instead, a long-haired, fluffy Ginger cat landed there, meowing as I patted him & being very loving. Isn't it interesting how they find us (I think they're meant to be specifically with US so they find us). Can't remember if I told the story of Ginger or not. The cat of many names, Ginger-cat, Ghengie-Khan, Ginjoo, Gingivitis, Bingle-bongle, My-little-savage, Bumblebee, Pingle-pongle, The Ceasar, My-little-wonderbird, to name a few!!!!!!!!! Does anyone else give their animals numerous & crazy names?
Alli - I sure sympathize. Isn't FIP awful?! And half the difficult part is NOT knowing what's wrong. Pretty bad when the tests can give false negatives AND false positives.
We have both my original cat, Tammy, and Kali, along with numerous lizards, buried in the backyard. I made a lovely flower-garden over them.
Hugs to you Alli, love, Kath
