    So my kitty Spooky wants to be an outdoor cat, but I prefer he be an indoor cat. I figure a good compromise is to take him on walks with a leash on a harness, and we did this today. He doesn't overly like the harness (though he's not unfamiliar with it) but after about 10 minutes of slinking...

I don't know how but I misinterpreted instructions to mean give him a dose once a day, when instead they should have been given twice a day.

    yet another poopy problem

    So! Four months ago I rescued a pair of 6 week old brothers from the bathroom of the neighbourhood 711. They got their shots and their dewormer right away of course, and their ears and fur are clean (when they're not rolling around in dust anyway). They're doing well! However one of them...
