Kitty urine washes out quite nicely in the wash I've

don't think it would become too unraveled. A towel
would be a better choice because those can be washed
over and over. If this works for Pepper, I will buy
several cheap towels for her

Hi Lynne, I'm so sorry for your sad loss. In reply to your first

If the fluid problem continues it may be a good idea to have her
heart checked, kitties with heart problems will have this as a symptom.
I belong to a feline heart group and this is a very common thing.

Hi Allie,
I am sorry to hear that Lola was diagnosed FeLV. With
appropriate care, she may live several years, if not
more. I am glad that you did not decide to pts even

it's only because of the vet's advice and lack of
