As usual SIKSUKR is a voice for calm..
The vet I spoke with yesterday that had treated the cat that died,(Lucy) he thought the heavy metal was the most likely cause because of the speed of the reaction.
I also agree that LibertySnake posted a picture of a hand puppet!
What a great looking little guy!
I don't think Menu, or any of the resellers, view this as anything but a disaster. They all depend on the public to trust the products they sell. In a way the resellers are victims too. I do wish at least one of them...Menu or the resellers would volunteer to help people with the Vet bills. When this is all over the cost to consumers will far exceed the cost to them. We'll see if any of them step up. One thing is for sure.. lawsuits will follow... all class action.. and all that will end with settlements that benefit the lawyers more than the victims. Two have already happened... one from the Midwest.. and one from Long Island NY.
(Please... no nasty messages from lawyers. I respect most parts of the lawyer world.)
FLL-- how are you doing channeling Sam Walton.. I agree he was a standup guy...
I'm posting this pic.. so folks can keep in mind the little ones lost.. Here is Lucy.. God rest her soul. As told earlier.. Dianne and I brought her and her older sister Lexi into our home after her owner had died after a long battle with cancer.. we believe, strongly believe.. she is back with that lady.. sitting in her lap.. and happy. Didn't someone say "All Pets Go to Heaven? (That may be a paraphrase of "All Dogs Go to Heaven.." I'm claiming Poetic License.) (damn.. now I'm gonna cry!.. again!)
PS... Don... Thanks for being patient with this thread.. I know it's not a Lakes Region event. But it has been a good place for lots of us to share the pain of this whole thing...
