Because outside cats can eat the gras or whatever that makes them throw up. But indoor cats live longer. I love my kitties even though DH's farts and snores. Reminds me of DH. My cat I'm worried about. She's 16 and lost a lot of weight. She's still eating and seems fine but I still worry. She is 16 y/old cat. You shouldn't be worry, you should be ready! Get other cat so loss will be not so painful. Kitten will take pain away.

Losing her will be losing a huge chunk of what has happened to me good and bad over the last 16 years. She's been through a lot with me. I know I will lose her but it's hard to let her go. I still have DH's cat. He is 12. But when he goes, I'm done with pets. I don't want to have a pet outlive me. It's not fair to the pet or my children who would have to deal with it.

No more pets after 2 dogs gone at 11 and 14. However my daughter so want a cat so I think I will give in when she is back home after college.

Your daughter is young and can care for the cat. Both my kids have their own pets. It's not fair to them to stick them with a cat who already would be upset by my death or incapacity to care for and then the cat has to deal with an entirely new situation. DH's cat is still missing DH but at least knows me and knows I love him. It helps. My daughter would step in but she has a dog which would totally traumatize the cats. I won't do that to another cat. Its bad enough that I have no idea what's happened to the office cat. I'm still upset and angry about that. Another of DH's procrastinations that hurt an innocent.

He didn't seem relieved when I said, "So, it's sure a good thing they didn't find anything and your ears were fine, right?" Nope. That seems to have made things worse. Its so funny when I read about animals care here in USA. In Ukraine we had never nuttered/spade them not even declawed and they were running free coming home for food and we had never heard about hairballs or all of these nonsense you posting here. We had a one vet clinic in 1 million people city! And I went there twice when my Afghan Hound had a liver issues. She lived for 14 years and died here in USA.
But we had not had any dog/cat food. What makes me think it is all issues because of the food. Or lack of free space to run and do 'cat' business.
Indoor cats are normally pretty healthy. I had my previous cat for 17 years and if you don't count the broken leg from when he was still an outside cat, he almost never went to the vet until the end. I just got these two from the humane society where they're kept with a lot of other cats in close confinement, so things like mites, fleas and ringworm are common...and nothing I want in my house! So, I'm watching them pretty close for awhile. My outdoor cats don't ever go to the vet beyond the initial shots and getting fixed (I won't own any dog/cat that isn't fixed), but they also only live 7 or 8 years and have a harder life.

I just saw the thread where Later is missing. I need to go search 'members' and see if she is really missing. Or maybe Canada blocked YM because of continuous insult of their currencies? did you even bother to read the other thread? if you had, then you would know the answer to the question. Leave it to Moon to ask the really tough questions of TLoony. You want her to read and comprehend? By all that is logical, woman...do you understand what you are doing?

Yours too, Nancy...just wondering. Even Archie is missing my posts sometimes, but you two - naaah!
