Trying to "defend" their territory, Deuce started to growl... and when Puddy, our younger (fatter) cat tried to get in on the action, Deuce turned on her. They were tussling pretty hard and I YELLED...

    Can't believe I'm asking...cremation?

    Is it possible to have your cat cremated? We will have to put our beloved Kitty down soon and I can't stand the thought of leaving her here. We are only in this state temporarily, and we don't like it at all. I'd really like to have some way to take Kitty with us. Has anyone done this...

    Kitty is still sick...any thoughts on what it is?

    Deworming question...

    We have had Deuce for only a month now and we just got back from the emergency vet. Two weeks ago she had an eye infection and now she has worms Not too serious, but our older cat, Kitty, will most likely need treatment too. The vet told us that without an exam and stool sample from Kitty...
