Hi folks: I'm at the library and it's about to close, so no time to log in. Thanks again for the suggestions -- please keep 'em coming!

Little Beastie is the same. Still squirting but still very energetic otherwise. Perhaps a bit less skinny -- it's hard to tell.

The canned kitten food is from China -- it's all I could find at the store I visited Thursday -- I will try some other supermarkets. No telling whether that is an issue these days. You'd think that China would be very careful not to repeat that horrible melamine incident... but then, CHina isn't very careful, is it?

Desert Dancer: I'm in the US, not UK. I'm in Pennsylvania, about an hour away from the original Mudcat Central which was in West Chester, PA. Never heard of Giardia but I will follow your links. Thanks.

Liz: Keeping a log is an excellent idea! Will do.

Librarians are giving me the evil eye -- gotta log off! Thank you again and I'll see ya tomorrow.
