my kitty, a 7 1/2 yr old gray and white domestic medium hair named wally, had some medical issues earlier this week. it was the first problem he's had since he was 1 1/2 that required a trip to the vet. i had lots of questions, and during my internet search i came across this forum. i did several searches here...i'm impressed. such a wealth of knowledge and helpfulness and support here! i join forums for hobbies, computer help, etc. i don't know why it took me so long to join a cat board! i'm very glad to have found you!
