thanks! I am just miffed at the 'system' how can people beg to have pets spayed or neutered to control the pet population, but want an arm and a leg for a fee. I just can't afford hundreds of dollars for a pet. and even if the spay is reduced with two female oriental mix kittens it is a struggle. they are so affectionate and vocal already, I can't even tell when or if they would be in heat ['will be 5 mos. on january 20] i just don't know what to do. if i give them up, oh great, the shelter will do everything, but if I do it myself, no fair.
\tI am so confused about foods and such. how long have your cats lived. I am so paranoid about all these urinary tract diseases, and how owners are saying meow mix is so bad. I need to get them dewormed. I feel like a cat mommy on the brink, i have no kids and my boyfriend thinks I waste too much time worrying about them. I would love someone to talk to to calm me and my ffears to have a support system, etc. please tell me about your cats, ages, food pref., litter they use, etc.

I did find a kitty whisperer, who is supposed to write me soon.

edited to add what I do, do currently:
11/16/06 last and only vaccinations/deworming, I was afraid to do follow up due to their side effects after the shots
I use fresh step kitty litter
nutro dry for kittens and trying to wean them off meow mix deli select pouches [fish] and onto friskies, [they hate the morsels so trying pate' today]
for some reason one is pooping right beside box out of nowhere, I think I made litter this time around after washing out bins with too much litter, so reduced the amount
I scoop at least twice a day [and right after seeing them use it, if it is right after I scoop]
I cleaned the litter pans with the same cleaner used to deter smell of urine, was this okay or a bad idea???? thanks!!! oh, and with snap, vets still was cost of shots, check up, etc, which still makes price at least a hundred, I am set to 'fix' both feb. 6 with a quoted price of 55 + more for shots, so at this point I am blessed, but still miffed at how hard it was to find this price, and hidden fees may still apply so I expect to take with me about 150 total for both...
please straight, no chaser, help me and my pets!!
