TY - JOUR. T1 - A putative cell surface receptor for anemia-inducing feline leukemia virus subgroup C is a member of a transporter superfamily. AU - Tailor, Chetankumar S.. AU - Willett, Brian J.. AU - Kabat, David. N1 - Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.. PY - 1999. Y1 - 1999. N2 - Domestic cats infected with the horizontally transmitted feline leukemia virus subgroup A (FeLV-A) often produce mutants (termed FeLV-C) that bind to a distinct cell surface receptor and cause severe aplastic anemia in vivo and erythroblast destruction in bone marrow cultures. The major determinant for FeLV-C-induced anemia has been mapped to a small region of the surface envelope glycoprotein that is responsible for its receptor binding specificity. Thus, erythroblast destruction may directly or indirectly result from FeLV-C binding to its receptor. To address these issues, we functionally cloned a putative cell surface receptor for FeLV-C (FLVCR) by using a human T-lymphocyte cDNA library ...

Recently, we demonstrated that endogenous feline leukemia virus (enFeLV) loads may vary among cats of different populations and that FeLV-infected cats have higher enFeLV loads than uninfected cats. Thus, we hypothesized that enFeLV might influence the pathogenesis and outcome of FeLV infection. No significant difference in the infection outcome (regressive versus progressive infection) was observed between groups of cats with high or low enFeLV loads following FeLV-A challenge. However, cats with high enFeLV loads showed higher viral replication (plasma viral RNA and p27 antigen levels) than cats with low enFeLV loads in the early phase of the infection. The enFeLV transcription level varied at different time points, but no clear-cut pattern was observed. In conclusion, our results demonstrated an association between enFeLV loads and FeLV replication but not outcome of infection. enFeLV should be considered as an important confounder in experimental FeLV infection or vaccination studies. ...

BACKGROUND: Cats infected with exogenous feline leukemia virus (exFeLV) have a higher chance of lymphoma development than uninfected cats. Furthermore, an increased exFeLV transcription has been detected in lymphomas compared to non-malignant tissues. The possible mechanisms of lymphoma development by exFeLV are insertional mutagenesis or persistent stimulation of host immune cells by viral antigens, bringing them at risk for malignant transformation. Vaccination of cats against exFeLV has in recent years decreased the overall infection rate in most countries. Nevertheless, an increasing number of lymphomas have been diagnosed among exFeLV-negative cats. Endogenous feline leukemia virus (enFeLV) is another retrovirus for which transcription has been observed in cat lymphomas. EnFeLV provirus elements are present in the germline of various cat species and share a high sequence similarity with exFeLV but, due to mutations, are incapable of producing infectious viral particles. However, ...

The Feline Leukemia virus is spread through bodily fluids. This means every thing from saliva and tears to urine and feces. Cats most commonly contract the disease through their normal habit of grooming one another. It is also possible for kittens to become infected by their mothers. This can happen either before birth or while the infant is nursing. Outdoor cats are at a higher risk due to the uncontrollable variables in their environment. Also, this disease can only survive in felines. This means that none of your other pets or your family is at any kind of risk. Feline Leukemia is devastating and damages your pets immune system. Fighting this cancer is important and there are ways to help. Learn the signs, symptoms and treatment of feline leukemia.. So how do you know if your cat is infected with Feline Leukemia? There are a few key signs that should point you in the right direction. First you need to pay attention to your cats habits. Signs and symptoms of Feline Leukemia can include ...

Atlas is a 4 year old male kitty, and he is FeLV (Feline Leukemia) positive. So what does that mean for him? Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) - What Is It? FeLV is a retrovirus that infects cats and is responsible for more deaths than any other organism. It is, unfortunately, not uncommon. FeLV is highly contagious and is easily spread once a cat has been in close contact with

The flvi-2 locus is a target of insertional mutagenesis in thymic lymphosarcomas induced by feline leukemia virus (FeLV). flvi-2 encodes the gene bmi-1, whose product is implicated as a myc-collaborator in the induction of B- and T-cell lymphoma. We have examined the involvement of flvi -2 and myc in natural and experimentally induced FeLV-positive feline lymphosarcomas which are heterogeneous in anatomical origin, geographic origin, and strain of FeLV involved. We further compared these findings with previous reports of novel FeLV env genes in the same tumors. The results show that proviral insertion at flvi-2 occurs commonly in natural and experimental feline thymic lymphosarcomas of diverse origins [52% overall], and that alterations in c-myc commonly accompany insertional mutagenesis of flvi-2 [54% overall]. However, 46% of tumors with flvi-2 insertions apparently lack involvement of c-myc. These observations support the hypothesis that interruption of flvi-2 may be an early event in a ...

Summary The neutralization of feline leukaemia virus could be enhanced by performing the reaction in hypotonic medium. Absorption of antibody by virus specific antigens was also made more sensitive under these conditions.

The Granby Animal Clinic, Inc.. FELINE LEUKEMIA At one time feline leukemia virus infection was one of the most common fatal diseases of cats. Because we can now protect cats with a leukemia virus vaccine, we are seeing fewer cases of the disease. However, it still remains a major cause of death in cats.. Leukemia means cancer of the white blood cells. This was the first disease associated with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and, thus, the source of its name. However, this virus causes many other fatal diseases including lymphoma, anemia and life-threatening infections due to immune suppression. The virus is primarily transmitted through saliva; however, it can also be transmitted through nasal secretions, blood, milk, and feces. The most common source of infection is social interactions including mutual grooming and sharing food and water bowls and litter boxes. Cats can also become infected via cat fights and infected mother cats can pass the virus to their kittens before and after birth. ...

Introduction The feline leukemia virus is a highly contagious retrovirus that can cause immunosuppression, secondary opportunistic infections and a number of neoplastic (cancerous) and hematologic (blood) abnormalities in cats. In fact, FeLV infection is one of the leading causes of death among companion felines and is

Cancer has always been one of the most challenging areas in both human and veterinary medicine.. One of the most common types of cancers in cats is Feline Leukemia, which is actually a result of a viral infection.. Luckily, with the right management this cancer may be prevented.. Feline Leukemia Virus (AKA FELV) is a virus belongs to the Retrovirus family.. The disease spreads easily either by a contact between a carrier cat to unexposed cat, or from a carrier pregnant queen to her kittens through the placenta or in the milk.. The virus can not be transmitted from cats to dogs, nor to humans.. The Feline Leukemia Virus attacks the bodys lymphoid tissue (part of the immune system) and may cause either Lymphosarcoma- tumors in various internal organs or leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells). The virus also leads to anemia and general weakness of the immune system, which alters the cats ability to fight any sort of infection.. The severity of the disease depends mainly on the timing of the ...

Keep your cats indoors and away from interacting with cats who have the virus. Have your kitten tested for the virus. If the test is negative, your kitten can be vaccinated against the virus.. ...

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a transmittable RNA retrovirus that inhibits feline immune systems and predisposes its host to infections and diseases. Much is unknown about FeLV, including the nature and location of its insertion sites. Identifying insertion sites of the provirus can provide information about mechanisms of tumorigenesis and identifY new protooncogenes. To search for insertion sites, gene-specific primers were designed and a genome walking method was optimized for our application. Using the optimized process, blood and tissue samples were examined for FeLV provirus. The cat from which we received samples showed neurological symptoms before death; therefore, we hypothesized FeLV sequences would be present in brain tissue. We also hypothesized that brain sequences and insertion sites would differ from specific sequences found in blood and other tissue samples. Exogenous FeLV-B sequences were successfully amplified from blood, brain and lymph tissues and no differences were found between

Sodium-phosphate symporter which seems to play a fundamental housekeeping role in phosphate transport by absorbing phosphate from interstitial fluid for normal cellular functions such as cellular metabolism, signal transduction, and nucleic acid and lipid synthesis. In vitro, sodium-dependent phosphate uptake is not siginificantly affected by acidic and alkaline conditions, however sodium-independent phosphate uptake occurs at acidic conditions. May play a role in extracellular matrix, cartilage and vascular calcification. Functions as a retroviral receptor and confers human cells susceptibility to infection to amphotropic murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV), 10A1 murine leukemia virus (10A1 MLV) and some feline leukemia virus subgroup B (FeLV-B) variants. This gene encodes a member of the inorganic phosphate transporter family. The encoded protein is a type 3 sodium-dependent phosphate symporter that plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis by mediating cellular phosphate uptake. The encoded protein

ELISA test (enzyme linked immunsorbent assay4) - this feline leukemia test detects virus antigen in whole blood, sperm, saliva and tears. A test kit is available for home and clinic use. The test takes about 10-20 minutes to perform. This test is more likely, the doctors say to detect weak, early or transient infections. Test sensitivity is very good3but less good on saliva and tears. I could not find a supplier of the home test kit on the internet when searching for 10 mins but found one after about 20 mins searching! (see the header picture). It is available from Amazon and is called the Assure FeLv Feline Leukemia Virus Antigen Test Kit 25 tests. It cost $259.99! It tests the cats saliva. It appears not to be available anywhere other than the USA. If the test is positive the cat may have a transient viremia. This may indicate the early stages of the disease or the cat may recover completely. A follow up IFA test is recommended by the Drs. and it will also confirm, if positive, that the cat ...

Feline Leukemia and Bladder Infections Q: My cat Raul tested positive about 1 month ago. He has a pale mouth and nose, has lost weight,and has cut down on eating. I noticed a odor coming from our basement that smelt like cat urine. Yesterday I actually saw him going bathroom right in front of me in the basement. I dont no how long this has been going on but I think it is fairly recent. Is this because of the leukemia or what?is there any thing to do to make him quit. I would appreciate it greatly if you could answer this question. If not thanks for taking time to read it. A: Mel-Cats with feline leukemia often have an increased susceptibility to bladder infections (actually to many infections). It would be best to be sure that this was not leading to the behavioral changes. Cats with feline leukemia also often have behavioral changes that do not always seem to have a specific physical cause. In some cases they may be too weak to make it to a litterpan in a location such as the second story of a ...

Most FeLV-positive cats become infected by direct contact with saliva or blood from the oral or nasal secretions of infected cats. This commonly occurs either through mutual cat-to-cat grooming, playing, shared water or food dishes, weeping wounds or cat bites. The virus is shed to a lesser extent in urine, feces and tears. FeLV can be transmitted through blood transfusions, and also in utero from an infected queen to her unborn kittens. Young newborns tend to be more susceptible than older cats to clinical disease and often contract the infection from the saliva of their infected mothers. Because this virus is not very hardy and is highly susceptible to environmental conditions such as heat and disinfectants, environmental contamination is an uncommon cause of FeLV infection.. However, not all cats exposed to FeLV become clinically ill. Some mount an effective immune response and eliminate the virus entirely. It appears that prolonged or repeated exposure to the virus is necessary for ...

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a contagious retrovirus that is spread horizontally via saliva from infected cats. Disease induced by this virus is among the leading cause of death among pet cats. Numerous testing strategies have been developed, due to the implications of FeLV infection, that involve detection of group-specific antigens. Whether or not a particular test is effective for a given cat depends on the stage of infection within the animal. The pathogenesis of FeLV involves infection and replication of the virus in the oronasal lymphoid tissue. Infected lymphocytes then enter the peripheral circulation, producing viremia. This viremic stage is transient in many cats: 86% of adults and 20% of kitten eliminate the virus at this point. Infection is established in the bone marrow, infected neutrophils and platelets enter the circulation and bone marrow, infected neutrophils and platelets enter the circulation and produce a persistent viremia. The cat ultimately will shed the virus after ...

FeLV invades and replicates in various cells, including cells in the cats immune system and blood-forming tissues. To replicate, the nucleic acid (genetic code) of FeLV inserts itself into the nucleic acid of the cells it has invaded. The result can be death of the cell or a mutation or change in its genetic code. Such a change can make the cell potentially cancerous; the cancerous change may not occur for months or years after infection.. Cancers can occur in a variety of tissues, organs and body sites, depending on the type and location of cells that have been infected with FeLV. Such cancers can involve any type of the circulating white blood cells (leukemia) or other cells of the blood-forming tissues. The most common tumor associated with FeLV is that of lymphoid cells known as lymphoma or lymphosarcoma. These tumors may occur at single or multiple sites in the body.. Although the development of cancer is one outcome of FeLV infection, other diseases more commonly develop. In many cats, ...

Feline leukemia (FeLV) is one of the leading causes of death in cats. This disease can cause cancer, but it also weakens the immune system, allowing other diseases to easily develop. Once the virus enters the cats body, there are three possible outcomes, all about equally probable. Its possible that the virus will be destroyed within 12 weeks by antibodies created by the immune system. In this case, the cat is not longer infected, and no longer contagious. Its also possible that the antibodies created will partially, but not completely, destroy the virus. In this case, the virus remains latent in the bone marrow and T-cells. Common cancer and other diseases may not develop, but the virus can be re-activated under stressful conditions. If the antibodies do not destroy the virus, the cat will develop feline leukemia and likely die in a year or less. ...

There are three main strains of FeLV, labeled A, B and C types, and cats that test positive for the virus may be infected with one, two or all three strains of the virus. FeLV-A affects 100% of all infected cats, causing a severe immunosuppression, or weakened immune system (this is why it is commonly referred to as feline or cat AIDS). This strain of the virus makes it easy for the cat to contract a large number of other infections, as well as being infected with the FeLV.. FeLV-B is present in about 50% of all infected cats. The B strain of the virus causes neoplastic disease damage, resulting in tumors and other abnormal tissue growths. More rare is the C strain of the virus, which only occurs in 1% of all infected cats, and causes low red blood cell counts, resulting in anemia. All 3 strains of the virus are contagious and can be spread through the urine, feces, tears, or saliva of an infected cat. Additionally, FeLV can be passed from a gestating (pregnant) cat, to her unborn ...

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). The feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is the causative agent of the most important fatal infectious disease complex of American domestic cats today. it is an RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus belonging to the family Retroviridae. Oncogenic (tumor-causing) retroviruses similar to FeLV have been identified in a number of animal species: cattle, domestic fowl, certain nonhuman primates, and rodents. The oncogenic retroviruses are commonly referred to as RIVA tumor viruses, or oncornaviruses (oncogenic RNA viruses).. Other retroviruses, known as lentiviruses, can produce noncancerous diseases in cats, sheep, goats, and horses. The feline lentivirus, known as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) (see in later section), is the cause of an immunodeficiency syndrome similar to that produced in humans by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV, which causes AIDS.. Retroviruses carry with them an enzyme, reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is used to produce a DNA copy of the retroviral ...

Detection of Feline Leukemia Virus in Bone Marrow Using Polymerase Chain Reaction Erin Leigh Stimson Latent feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infections, in which proviral DNA is integrated into host DNA, but not actively transcribed, are suspected to be associated with many diseases. Bone marrow is the suspected site of the majority of latent infections. The purpose of this study was to determine if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could detect FeLV proviral DNA in bone marrow and provide a method of detecting latent infections. Blood and bone marrow samples from fifty cats and bone marrow from one fetus were collected; sixteen had FeLV-associated diseases. Serum ELISA, blood and bone marrow immunofluorescent antibody test (IFA), and blood and bone marrow PCR were performed on each cat, and IFA and PCR on bone marrow of the fetus. Forty-one cats were FeLV negative. Five cats and one fetus were persistently infected with FeLV. Four cats were discordant; two ELISA positive with other tests negative, ...

Lymphosarcoma (lymphoma) is a malignant cancer originating in lymphocytes, which are found in lymph nodes and pretty much all the organs and tissues around the body. It is probably the most common type of cancer in cats and not uncommon in dogs. Like most cancers, middle-aged to older animals are most at risk. However, lymphoma is unique in that it can be associated with feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection in cats. Cats that are infected with FeLV can develop feline lymphoma as young as three years of age.. ...

Fortunately there is a simple blood test to tell you whether or not your pet is infected. If the test comes back positive then you will need to test again in about 12 weeks. It does happen that some cats are able to fight off the infection on their own. If this is the case then your re-test will be negative. However, if the second test is positive as well, then your cat has Feline Leukemia. Once this is confirmed you and your doctor will decide on a course of treatment. But you must always treat the animal as if they were contagious. This means quarantining them away from any other cats in the household, and changing all food and water bowls as well as setting up a new litter box ...

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is passed from one cat to another through saliva, blood, and to some extent, urine and feces. The virus commonly causes anemia or lymphoma, but because it suppresses the immune system, it can also predispose cats to deadly infections.. Exposure to the feline leukemia virus doesnt have to be a death sentence; approximately 70% of cats who encounter the virus are able to resist infection or eliminate the virus on their own.. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a viral disease which affects the immune system of domestic cats, leaving the infected cat vulnerable to many other infections. The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds. Cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections.. ...

There is no way to know for certain, by some experts estimate that the feral cat population in North America may equal or even exceed that of the owned cat population. Feral cats are not socialized to humans and avoid contact with people whenever possible. In contrast, stray cats are often those cats that have left a home or have been abandoned by their owners. These strays may have been socialized to humans at one time and will often approach people and may even allow petting. All cats, feral, stray and owned cats that simply roam the neighborhood are all members of the domestic species, Felis catus.. Traditionally, feral and stray cats are trapped whenever possible and then are taken to local animal shelters. Once at a shelter, if they are socialized to humans and have a calm disposition, some cats may be adopted out. However, the vast majority of these feral cats may be harboring diseases, such as Feline Leukemia, or they are totally wild and cannot be adopted out. These cats will often ...

Feline pneumonitis is caused by the organism Chlamydia psittaci. Signs of pneumonitis are similar to those of FVR and FCV.. Feline leukemia Virus ( FeLV ) - Feline Leukemia causes immunosuppression, major organ system degeneration and/or cancer. Signs of this disease are usually vague and include weight loss, decreased appetite, depression, vomiting and diarrhea. Cats can also get secondary infections because of the decreased immune system function. This virus is spread by casual contact between cats. This vaccination is recommended for cats that are outside unsupervised, cats that are in contact with outdoor cats and cats that live with FeLV positive cats.. Feline Infectious Peritonitis ( FIP ) - FIP can cause fluid congestion or aggressive organ destruction. The virus is spread in the feces and oronasal secretions. Unfortunately, this vaccination is not commonly recommended because it is not very effective.. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus ( FIV ) - Signs of FIV can be from direct viral effects ...

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, cell tumor biology researchers determined that synthetic RNA and feline leukaemia virus (FELV) template added to human type C viruses--those associated with cancers of the lymph nodes increased the rate of DNA production (and subsequent provirus and virus reproduction) as much as thirty times.(1) Such hybrid viruses, these researchers reported, may cause many cancers besides leukaemias and lymphomas, including sarcomas. Other NCI and Litton Bionetics teams reported modifying the fortieth discovered simian virus (SV40) by infusing it with nucleic acids from other species including FELV RNA, avian (i.e., chicken) myeloblastosis virus (AMV) RNA, associated with leukemia and sarcoma development, and mouse sarcoma RNA to: 1) make them carcinogenic, 2) prompt extreme immunosuppression in primates,(2,4,11) and 3) study RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (i.e., reverse transcriptase) and its relationship to human carcinogenesis,(6,11-14) For example, early work in ...

Maxs House. Lymphosarcoma In Cats. Mary Ann Vonderhaar and Wallace B. Morrison. Lymphosarcoma is a neoplasm of malignant lymphocytes in solid organs such as lymph nodes, bone marrow, or visceral organs such as the liver and spleen. Lymphosarcoma is usually amenable to chemotherapy protocols that are within the capabilities of most veterinary practices.. LYMPHOSARCOMA IN CATS Hematopoietic tumors are the most frequently occurring tumors in domestic cats, and they account for about 33% of all feline tumors. Lymphosarcoma accounts for up to 90% of the hematopoietic tumors in cats, with an estimated incidence of 200 cases/100,000 cats at risk. No increased prevalence has been reported for any sex or breed of cat. The usual age of cats at diagnosis is between 2 and 6 years. In many cases, lymphosarcoma in cats follows infection with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV).

Although uncommon, these tumors are iatrogenic, and vaccination against rabies and feline leukemia virus is perhaps the most common inciting cause. The exact etiopathogenesis is unknown, but it is widely accepted that inflammation induced by vaccines or other injections likely plays a critical role in tumor development. Injection site sarcomas are extremely locally invasive. Multimodal therapy, incorporating combinations of surgery, radiation therapy, and sometimes chemotherapy or immunotherapy, is recommended. However, tumor recurrences are common even with aggressive treatment, and many cats with FISS ultimately succumb to this devastating disease. While vaccination protocols play an

Clitoromegaly is a clinical manifestation of various local and systemic conditions in all species. The external genitalia are a very rare site of primary or metastatic lymphoma in canines, with only one previously-reported case in a dog and only sparse reports in the medical literature. Lymphoma is also very rare in dogs less than four years of age. This account reports on a T-cell multicentric lymphoma in a 16-month-old Basset hound presented primarily for clitoromegaly. The patient survived for 68 days with cyclophosphamide-vincristine-prednisolone therapy. The causes of clitoromegaly in all species, including humans, are tabulated with references ...

Street Paws opposes euthanizing any feral/street cat simply because he or she tests positive for FIV (feline immuno-deficiency virus) or FeLV (feline leukemia virus). If the cat shows no active signs of ill health, we believe he/she should be released back into his colony regardless of the test results. Because this is our policy, we do not test in the first place unless the cat does show signs of ill health and our veterinarian believes test results would be useful in diagnosis and treatment, or unless the cat is a candidate for adoption.. The reasons for these policies include the following:. 1. First and foremost, we do not euthanize positive, asymptomatic cats because we believe they have as much of a right to live as any being. Euthanasia is defined as the mercy killing of a suffering being, not imposed death for purposes of convenience or concern about possible future consequences. Too often, when it comes to feral cats and other animals, euthanasia is resorted to as a solution to whatever ...

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is contagious among cats. Unlike many other viruses that enter specific cells in the body and destroy them, FeLV enters certain cells in a cats body and changes the cells genetic characteristics. This permits FeLV to continue reproducing within the cat each time infected cells divide. This allows FeLV to become dormant (inactive) in some cats, making disease transmission and prognosis (outlook) difficult to predict.. Rabies virus is dangerous and infects animals and humans worldwide. Rabies is generally fatal in all species, and any warm-blooded animal can become infected. Foxes, skunks, coyotes, and certain rodents spread the disease in many cases. Surprisingly, cats are more commonly involved in spreading rabies than dogs are. In fact, cats are the number-one domestic animal carrier of rabies in the United States. Read More ...

Leukemia is a cancer of blood cells, and it can show up within the circulatory system as well as in the bone marrow, where blood cells develop. Leukemia symptoms occur in both dogs and cats, and is especially common in cats, accounting for one-third or more of all feline cancer cases. Most --but not all -- cases of leukemia in cats are associated with infection by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Leukemia can affect dogs and cats of any age, but as with most ...

The Basics. Bringing a new kitten home is exciting. The following guidelines will help you and your kitten adjust to this big change in your lives.. Kittens can leave their mother and littermates after they have been weaned, usually at 8 to 10 weeks of age. Like human babies, kittens require special care, including veterinary care, feeding, and socialization.

Gag polyprotein plays a role in budding and is processed by the viral protease during virion maturation outside the cell. During budding, it recruits, in a PPXY-dependent or independent manner, Nedd4-like ubiquitin ligases that conjugate ubiquitin molecules to Gag, or to Gag binding host factors. Interaction with HECT ubiquitin ligases probably link the viral protein to the host ESCRT pathway and facilitate release (By similarity).

The two latest additions to our feral kitten collection went to the vet today and got a clean bill of health. Everyone at the vets office is telling me how I need to capture the rest of the litter, and the mother, and the other two litters and mothers in our neighborhood, and all the other stray cats in Nanticoke, and bring them in to get checked, and spayed, and neutered. As I handed out $114 per kitten for the initial checkup, which included Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia tests, de-wormer, and an initial distemper shot, as well as a physical exam - a bargain, since I was expecting something more like $150 per cat - I could only smile, nod, and try to figure out how many days of overtime I will have to work to support these cats, when and if overtime becomes available again ...

A Capuchin friar, b. at Cantalice, on the north-western border of the Abruzzi; d. at Rome, 18 May, 1587. His feast is celebrated among the Franciscans and in certain Italian dioceses on 18 May. He is usually represented in art as holding in his arms the Infant Jesus, because of a vision he once had, when the Blessed Virgin appeared to him and placed the Divine Child in his arms.. His parents were peasant folk, and very early he was set to tend sheep. When nine years of age he was hired out to a farmer at Cotta Ducale with whom he remained for over twenty years, first as a shepherd-boy and afterwards as a farm labourer. But from his earliest years Felix evinced signs of great holiness, spending all his leisure time in prayer, either in the harsh or in some solitary place. A friend of his having read to him the lives ot the Fathers of the Desert, Felix conceived a great desire for the eremitical life, but at the same time feared to live otherwise than under the obedience of a superior.

Ive always had cats in the house, even when I was a young cub. About 15 years ago, one of our cats contracted feline leukemia, and we had to euthanize him... it was the only humane thing to do. He was in horrible pain all the time. The last time I saw him was at the vets office. We had just been told our options, and after a good ten minutes of crying, we told them to do it. I held him one last time... and as he sat on my lap, mewling quietly in pain, he looked up at me and licked the tears off my face ...
