    URI? Allergies? What to do?

    I just had good luck steaming shrimp in front of my cat that has a bad URI. She has not eaten anything for me in days, just a nibble of this and that and sub-cutaneous fluids. She sniffed out the fishy smell from the shrimp and went nuts, she ate a whole shrimp on the spot!
