There are certainly lots of different degrees of murmers, but don't stress too much about it. My kitty took meds and they helped a great deal. Of course, that assumes your kitty is good about taking meds, but some meds are available now for kitties to rub in their ears (not in pill form).<BR/><BR/>I do have to agree with you on the black ornaments.

We're down to just the one cat now, but when we had three all due their annual jabs at the same time it involved three separate trips as we only had one basket. And, oh, the fuss and the noise. Will you have to sedate them for the actual trip?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.com
