I’ve rescued several strays throughout my lifetime that cost a pretty penny to get them spayed or neutered and vaccinated in order to adopt them out.

Pet Sitter Product Review: SSSCAT Cat Training Aid
I’m sure you know what it’s like living with cats. You don’t need to set an alarm because cats have some cosmic way of knowing EXACTLY what time they should be fed down to the nanosecond. Our cats are no exception. They sleep in my office at night otherwise they bounce off the walls and keep us […]
