Earnest purr he was very cute and old would be like my grandfather. I'm sorry to hear what happened, my mom has also entered into groups to learn and prevent diseases that can harm me and the number of people trying to medicate their cats without the supervision of a veterinarian is incredible. My mom studies medicine so she always tells them that if they would do the same with a person instead of taking her to the doctor, so it is a very frustrating situation.
