I tragically had to say good by to my beautiful Chester Cat on Monday. He became very ill Monday morning and I rushed him to the vet and he could not save him as he had contrcted FeLV, Feline Leukemia. I had heard of the deadly desease but did not know much about it. I am finding out that it is quite prevelant and can kill a cat very rapidly. Another family at the vets office was going thru the same thing at the same time. If you have cats, especially ones that go outside and are in contact with other cats, please talk to your vet about how to prevent this desease. I had no idea there is now a vaccine for FeLV.  

Cat, thats what we called him most of the time, was laying on my work table watching me work last week as he often did. Little did I know that this would be the last photo I took of him! We were all very attached to him around here as he was a VERY loving cat. I miss him terribly!
