My cat Buzz recently had anemia - his blood level was down to eight. None of my cats have fleas either but I put him on Doxycycline anyway on the advise of people in this group. After I consulted with my vet he was also put on a high dose of Prednisolone. He began to improve immediately and his

I was on the set of the Friday Night Lights TV show, where I sometimes works as an extra. I was hanging around waiting for the shooting to start when I noticed one of the principals, Taylor Kitschhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm2018237/, petting a cat and feeding her ice cream off the catering truck.
