My name is Lisa. I love cats very, very much, and I am very sensitive when it comes to them. I have 7 cats of my own. Their names are Stinkie, Thumper, Rat, Tater Dude, Pretty Kitty, Iddie Bit, and Mitzi. I have had lots of cats all of my life. In the past seven years, I have lost three to feline leukemia; hopefully I never have to go through that again. It broke my heart. Out of the seven that I have now, Pretty Kitty is the oldest and Stinkie is the youngest - the baby. They are all mixed breeds, but I now Thumper has a lot of Maine Coon in her. Stinkie is allergic to fleas and we have lots of problems with him when it is hot weather. He is constantly scratching and washing himself and we still are unsure of what to do to really make him comfortable this time of year. We are trying to stay away from steroids. Any suggestions are helpul. My cats are my life. Some people probably think I love them too much; maybe I do. In my opinion, cats are the best animals I know of.
