Donna,

I cannot believe what your SIL did!!! I know she's been trouble for you in the past with her attitude and you should stay away from her as much as you can. I know she's still family and all that, but if it were me, I wouldn't utter a single word about cats at all, let alone yours.

I'm glad your landlord is there for you and is being cool about it. Maybe the next time you go out of town, you could get some of those disposable litter boxes? That way if the catsitter isn't doing his/her job, there will still be plenty of other options for the kitters and it wont smell?

Poor thing. That whole situation would have really, really pissed me off. People are so dumb!

OK, enough sunshine from me....
