Late last night, Rayne decided to scare both of us to death and she just began to fade away! I noticed her third eye showing profusely and grabbed the thermometer, not a digital- put it in and before I could even run the time, it went to the very end of the bulb! I called the vet and rushed her in but I did put a fair amount of rubbing alcohol on her head first to try and cut down the heat. This was around 2:00 a.m.

Now it is 4:30 p.m. and she is home and I am $350.00 poorer, but she is alive with only a diagnosis of “fever of unknown origin.’ and yes, they tested her for distemper. Now, she is having mutiple sneezing fits and she is weak but she is alive. I told her she broke the bank and almost broke my heart as I would hate to lose her. She was the runt of a litter and she bites the hand that feeds her, but she is a lovely little girl who likes to curl up on laps for naps.

I was so scared she was going to die, and I am grateful she is still with us- even if took all I had left to get her back- some cats, even strays- well they are priceless!
