Update on Kyo the cat.

We got sold a sick cat! No wonder the guy that met us at the Flying J in Layton (65 miles from home) took off right after getting his money! The kitten was real playful and loving but skinny.

Friday morning Kristen and I took the cat into the vets and $175 later, two blood tests, a de-worming, and a cillin shot we brought the kitten home and Marilyn and I have been snuggling the cat ever since. He was very active Wednesday, but went down hill Christmas day. Friday morning he hardly could lift his head. The doc said he had a 105 fever and it could be a couple of viruses hence the blood tests.

The V8 needs a little tune up but still runs. He sleeps all day and night. We keep him either inside my shirt with my body heat to prevent shivering or wrapped in a blanket.We are trying to feed him using an eye dropper and high protein food and praying he survives. The vet called and said the two tests were negative and he is guardedly optimistic. James is now watching a video and holding Kyo.

I am going to search the internet for hints on how to heal him. We've got a bit of cash invested and we really like the little guy.

I wonder if it is appropriate to give him a healing blessing.

Keep him in your prayers. This has made me wary of ads in the paper but you pays your fees and takes your chances. There are dishonest people out there. Should have prayed harder.
