I am so afraid to have my cats teeth cleaned.  I'm petrified of losing her
during the sedation.  She is going on nine, means the world to me, I'd be
devastated if I took her in and she died.  I've already lost two pets in my

We have a problem with stray cats where I live. It's very sad. After

My brother and family was supposed to visit for the weekend, but had to
cancel when one of their cats (Clyde) got sick.  From what I know, Clyde's
always had a somewhat sensitive stomach.  And since he's overly nosey, he's
