Gwen, Special Needs Cat
My darling Gwennie has chronic toxoplasmosis, contracted during her 4 1/2 years as a stray. She is NOT infectious to me or my cats. It manifests itself as bowel problems, varying by how stressed out she is.
She tends to be gassy when excited (like being petted), which just makes me love her more. Stinky but sweet! She is so happy to have a forever home, and never complains about her difficulties.
