SOME people don't realize that our cats are like kids in fur coats, and that we'll do anything in our power for them.

Years ago when Smokey the Elder was diagnosed with cancer, I told some people at my job what I had to do for her. One person asked (with no malice aforethought, just ignorance) why don't you just have her PTS? I hit her with the line, "I don't believe in disposable pets." She thought about it and apologized for her comment.

Sometimes people can be educated!
