If only all people would neuter/spay their animals, the world would be much better and we would be spared the heartache of dealing with the deaths of our furbabies we have adopted. Can not understand why people refuse to do this and why they just dispose of the unwanted babies by throwing them

TS carries the pine pellet horse bedding I use. Glad to know about the corn based but would be concerned about weevils where I live. I had to stop using SWeats because of them. The pine turns to sawdust that I compost or use as a mulch around plants---hoping the cat odor will discourage

I am so sorry to hear that Rosie has passed. I really hoped that at least one would be spared a while longer. They were a lucky bunch of kittens to have found you, so many people won't give even one positive a chance. Hugs, Beth N., angel Will Feral's mom

My pride doesn't like them. Maybe if I left them out and open, they would come to think of them as bags and boxes. I have boxes all over the house. When I get a new one, I cannot let it lay for 5 seconds. If I do, it becomes a bed or hiding place for them. Natalie at...@optonline.net

Part of it is understandable if you consider the extremely high cost of veterinarians - and most people are not aware of low-cost certificates, and the worst is that so few vets participate in those programs. I found out that in our area, a spay can be as much as $500 for a female cat - who, but

Thanks Maureen. You made it sound so logical, thanks! I will add that my vet told me that Crash's ELISA test was a faint positive. I read that a faint positive means that he does have the virus, but it's not very active in his system. Knowing this, I'm sure hoping that he was not shedding the
