wow thanks! i wish i had your brains! I just like to know what is being given to my little ones! I've learnt so much from this website and i've just completed a form be volenteer at an RSPCA cattery just so that i can broaden my knowledge about cats. I've now got three but only got my first one 6 months ago so i just want to make sure i am prepared for every situation. I'm keeping a folder of treatments and advice given by the vet and useful info that i find on this site.... I'm a teacher and the students call me the cat woman (in a kind way)
