"In contrast, there was no relationship between cat-allergen exposure and a child's risk of asthma, according to findings published in the journal Pediatric Allergy and Immunology."

No correlation between childhood asthma and cats?

So... we went to the vet today and we have to pull out more teeth than planned. Vet told me it wasn't that serious yet and if we wanted to we could still wait a while to do this as it is so expensive (like 1100 $). So we're doing this in September. I would have had it done now if it was a must though.

Anyways, she has been having constipation problems and all that, so the vet gave her a enema again there and they also did some X- rays of both her teeth and stomach. She was in a state of shock which made her completely limp throughout most of the visit. I think we stayed there in the examination room for like 2 hours! She was also placed in a cage with a litterbox for quite some time. She refused to go, so they had to give her a 2nd enema. Then I heard her squeal. After a long time of being completely silent.

She's so exhausted right now. Poor thing. At least she's back in her safe environments

Oh K,

I'm sorry to hear about your furbaby's problems. But at least she is home.

UK postal workers boycott house after cat attacks
LONDON (AP) -- Britain's postal service says it has suspended deliveries to a woman following repeated attacks by her 19-year-old cat. Royal Mail said Friday that it had halted deliveries because postal workers had already sustained "nasty injuries" at the address in the town of Farsley, near Leeds in northern England.
The woman was identified as a 43-year-old pharmacy worker. Media reports say she found it hard to believe that her cat, named "Tiger," could be behind the attacks.
She told two newspapers the animal spent most of its day sleeping and didn't have the energy to chase postal workers.

I'm going to try litter box liners again. Before when I use them the cats would rip them up. But if I don't use one, the little sticks to the bottom of the box. Although, the cheaper litter is actually easier than the clay litter.

No clay litter for Carly. . . She's used to Scoop Away and I don't want to mess with success

I think she needs reader's glasses though I'll hear 'scritch-scritch-scritch' goin' on for the longest time and when she's done I'll go in and look and there's litter everywhere around the pee or poo, but said job is layin' right on top of the litter!

She's gettin' old...but she does have me trained to go in and remove whatever she puts in that box ~ immediately, if not sooner!
