What affects us affects cats
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling with your cat. It’s worse. You dislike your cat. It’s actually worse than that; you wish your cat was dead. She’s become old and ill. There’s the vet’s bill. It can get expensive looking after an old cat with a chronic and incurable illness. You’re busy and you now …
