What makes you assume I ever would?

It's okay. If I loved all cats as much as I love my kitty, I would do whatever I could to make sure they were safe, and that the uneducated (mostly me most of the time) had someone to talk to about it. The topical stuff was a "once every 3 months" long term flea solution. A Flea "birt...

As much as I appreciate your advice, I can't help but feel I'm getting scolded by my mother! I assure you, my feline is my child. I would never do to her anything I felt would be harmful in any way.

On her last visit to the vet, he told us she was perfectly healthy at this size, but she does have trouble grooming. I first picked out Mia from the Humane Society when she was a TINY kitten, and their ...

Hello There, I have a soft, and very fluffy, long haired "tuxedo cat". Mia is about five years old, and has lived with me for the past two months. She previously lived with my parents. Well, recently I noticed she had very dry skin around the base of her tail. And every time I brush or scr...
