    Idiopathic Vestibular Disease vs. Brain Tumor

    Below is a small novel about the sweet 11 year old ragdoll in my profile pic. I'm looking for comments / experience with cats that had idiopathic vestibular disease (IVD) or a brain tumor.

    Motherless Kittens Found - Stores Closed For Hurricane - Help

    My parents found two kittens, eyes still closed just out in the open this morning.

    Zen Kitten & Third Eyelid

    I've had my little Eddie kitten now for about 2 months.  He was found by animal control on June 4 (the same day my solid grey boy died).  I fell in love with him on the 5th.  He was "fixed" on June 8 and home with me on June 9.  They told me at the humane society that he was so young and so...
