The Saga of Anti Heather- or How I Came To Be Owned By So ManyCats - Chapter Two
Thank you, I'll have to remember that.

It helpz a lot. Booker Kissa doesn't have the peeing problem (thank goodness), but she's actually made herself bleed from chewing. I should see if the vet will let me have some to keep on hand. Kissa, as small as she is, is a nasty cat to pill, so it would have to be disguised in something really tasty for her to eat it without a fight. Heather Our vet said that it makes some kitties lovey dovey, but Booker's always so friendly with everyone that we can't tell a difference. It takes a while to tell if it's working, because the hair has to grow back. This is the send bout he's had, we had him on it a couple of years ago. He also tends to pee where he shouldn't when he's anxious, and this helps with that, too. Not sure any other kitty would be stupid enough to take it as a treat though, but it must not have any bad taste. Julie Whooze kallin me stoopid??
