Ok.. so I just read through this entire thread. Woah. Poor Artie. I wish you both luck and sanity. Cats can sure pick up when we are stressed 128553. The only advice I have for you and Artie is to live in the moment. Good luck you two; good vibes sent your way

Hi Maggie! Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. I'm actually a dental assistant and dry food for cats is like humans eating potato chips and saying the bits help clean our teeth. It's a lie. Brushing is excellent if you can manage it! Cats suffer mostly from periodontal disease and not...
