I found this site very helpful when I adopted "Miss Kitti," my longtime S.O.'s cat after she died unexpectedly. Unfortunately, at age 56 and after being around cats pretty much all my life, I became allergic. I tried to deal with it with meds but the cure was worse than the disease, I had the...

Oops got the time wrong it was 0330, don't know how to edit post yet...apologies.

Snoring. Miss Kitti jumped on my chest and meowed anxiously about 30 minutes ago (4:00 AM). Obviously something was wrong. So after getting up and checking everything, and finding nothing, no house fires, no intruders, no zombie apocalypse happening in the kitchen, I sat down on the couch and...
