RPCA is a great forum for us idiot cat slaves, with a large number of
discussions on different cat related (or not) topics. It's nice to see how
engaged people can get in these discussions (I know I have been, too).
I know that the discussions on RPCA never can be compared to this ...

Well I went to see her yesterday and she is depressed. Her BUN was
