    Cats Don't Keep Mice Away??? Seriously???

    Last night, we had to put our kitty Paul to sleep. Paul was a senior cat that found us about a year ago. There was a major flood in my town in August 2016 and I believe that Paul somehow got separated from his family. Poor fella had been declawed and we have no idea how he was able to...

    I can hardly function after having to put my cat to sleep

    I made the decision to put my 5mo old kitten Ringo to sleep last night.  We went to the emergency clinic and I found out he had FIP.  The vet said there was no hope..I could bring him home and wait for him to stop eating and further weaken or I could end it now.  I chose to end it now. I sure...
