Re: Cat Question

I guess mine figured out in a hurry that my animals are my babies, and the last thing I would ever do is freak out. Nothing gross bothers me. Like a friend of mine once said, "It's not the elephants in life that get me; it's the fleas."

Dr. Lisa says some people just freak out or get in the way. More of a
hindrance than a help. But she does make exceptions as you can see. I can
see her point. She spends time w/ the owners and covers everything, it's
not like she has anything to hide.
