Yup, flimzy screens and screaming brats are not good for cats either. It's hard to find a perfect home, and I guess all of you believe, as I do, that no one can take care of cats as well as we can :-) This is probably why most of us have so many cats. Lorrie Susan Hoffman

I wouldn't wish a smoker on any cat. Imagine being stuck inside with a chain smoker... YUK. Second hand smoke is as dangerous as actually being a smoker, and this goes for humans or pets. My mother smoked liked a chimney and she totally turned me off on ever trying cigarettes. This was the

I was saddened to read that Miller has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  We love them, care for them and in the end let them go.  You did what you could for Miller.  He is now happily romping in the green meadows chasing butterflies with all our Angels. Sharyl From: Edna Taylor taylore...@msn.com
