"Not the same dog" indeed. Because no dog is the same after weeks of starvation.

Wow, those comments from 'vets' really are suspicious. The first one, I'd bet money, is a strangely good speller of an AR nut. I've never known any vet to be so vehement about disease - and to say that domesticated cats transmit all those diseases to wild cats. Bobcats and cougars don't hang around kitties - if they did we'd have heard of these transmissions before. Also, I don't know of a single vet who would yell like that that every cat must stay indoors - that's bad client relations, especially in a rural state like Idaho (not withstanding Boise being a city).
