* About Seymour *
Seymour, our first Happy Tabby:
Feb 1997-November 30, 2004
Seymour lost his battle with Hypereosinophilic Syndrome that began on August 7, 2004.  His first symptoms were vomitting...five times on August 8, 2004.  The first vet visit with blood work was August 9, 2004.

Hopefully, his story will help other cats who have been diagnosed with this condition.  Below is his medical calendar.  Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions regarding his condition or treatment.
