Thanks, Shirley. Decided after reading your reply... what the heck and emailed Dr. Ramakrishnan himself! He answered....! Did as you suggested, no mentioning *cat*.

For those interested, he has a conference cheduled in NYC in April. Saw some of the names of registered attendees and there are a lot of vets on the list! Jill Elliot DVM, NYC is the contact person to register, I believe.
