The kitty is doing very well, other than the peeing and pooping in the
litter box part.
She is faithfully eating and drinking, and pottying.... just not in the
litter box.

Mico has drawn blood from me from his last scratching bout, and I almost
gave him away today.  I called the vet and asked how much Feliway is - I was
told the diffuser and refill are $95.  This is Canadian funds, and I think
without tax.

I posted a while back about my elderly constipated cat.  I have added
rice bran to his food, makes him go more, but still like pebbles, I now
add 5 drops of liquid paraffin every evening to some tuna, but he still
is very constipated, he has such trouble going, he often ends up ...

Re-researching foods, and when looking at low protein and low
phosphorous for renal issues, the TJ's food is lower in both than any

Wellness.

Here's the story.  My 16 yr old cat has been vaccinated every year of his
life until about 3 years ago when I read that cats didn't need to be
vaccinated every year.  The last time he was vaccinated was about 1 1/2

anyone telling me I'm not doing enough for my cat or making me second

would say she's doing pretty well!  She actually doesn't mind puppies.

This is a case study in the point I made in an earlier post. Some of

We got two kittens from the animal shelter about three
years ago. They are sisters and we named them Emma
and Amy.  They chase each other when playing, but
otherwise often sleep together.
