always did say i liked animals better than people. At least they are honest and you know what to expect from them. My vet doesn't get that upset about putting to sleep but he will insist on trying to find a loving home for them. That is how I got Annie and Bobby. He knows I am a sucker.

These people worried about the cats scratching furniture, soiling carpets, etc. should watch My Cat From Hell. After seeing a couple of shows, i came to the same conclusion, the cat isn't the problem, the PEOPLE are. This guy really knows cats. He has all 7 of mine pegged to the smallest

THAT is why I don't go to hospitals unless I fall and hit my head on a concrete step. I figured that might require their help. But I did check for broken bones and then got the cats in fed them, cleaned their boxes and then drove myself to the ER. First place, they charge a minimum of

Sounds like my father! He also passed at home. He woke up hot and sweaty and said he wanted a bath. I started to bathe him and got his head done when I noticed him listing to one side. Tried to get him back to bed, but had to let him lie on floor rather than drop him. Did CPR, called 911,

Some people are very desperate to get married for one reason or another. Just hope she doesn't have a kid with Down's Syndrome or something like that.  Husband will probably want to get rid of the kid.   Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too!
