Re: The cats of SE4G
Yep, I was amazed at how sad it was for me to carry my 13-year-old Siamese to the vet for the Last time. He got sick and 2 different vets couldn't figure out what was wrong but that his kidneys were failing. So, you ask yourself...did I poison him without thinking? Do I do this by letting him walk on carpet that had had been treated with "Carpet Fresh" powder (and vaccuumed up), was it possibly letting him walk on a freshly mopped tile floor that had Lysol on it? Did he stray into some insect spray I had used on ants or something?
You see, when you get a cat, you take the responsibility for that living creature's life. These days, I don't put stuff on the carpet (it can smell less than fresh as far as I care). Mopping is done with a mild soap cleaner. And if I have to spray for ants or something, I lock the cats in a room for the day...till it dries. You see, in their own way, they trust me.
