5. Thanks for that information.

I hope this will be a relatively easy fix - if such a thing exists with termites. I come from a family of worriers, as well. There must be a genetic component.

Caring for the cats is my honor and privilege, but that, too, comes with its own set of worries. I have many that are quite old and require care, and I know their time is limited. That was part of the motivation to create this sanctuary. I try to be realistic with them but when one passes, my heart always breaks.
