If you have time for this, I found that it worked with my previous cats... we lived on a street corner and there was no safe way for us to let them out by themselves. Sometimes just being able to go outside for 15 minutes on a harness and leash to sniff things and eat grass will calm the need to fin...

Well, Mr. Bones spent some time at the vet yesterday. They did bloodwork, urinalysis, x-rays... Thank goodness for the Banfield Wellness Plans, I only spent $25 for the whole jobbie and have a total of $420 over the whole next year that will cover all of that if he has to have it again and all his d...

May I ask why no garlic in the baby food?

He doesn't seem to drink much water but has urinated in his litter box at least once on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I'm wondering if this is enough and how long I should w...
