Re: Doctor visit

That was my first thought too Pam.... but knowing a gal who did have
this type of surgery, I doubt Kitty is bad enough to warrent it at this
time. It's not a nice - oh, I feel better- surgery for a long time.


I am with Kitty, that the surgery is not needed now... maybe in the future if she continues to jump/turn after those cats :)

I am just glad she had it checked out.....so she knows where she stands
on the issue.... not that we really have anything to say about it....
but I am not known for keeping my thoughts in my head :)
