I was afraid to ask how much it cost. Today, at her request, I fetched a specific brand of "Wellness" dried cat food at a cost of about $7 a pound. Better grades of beef steak are quite a bit less than that. This cat was feral, pregnant and sick with parasites about five years ago when our son rescued it in Montreal and had it treated at great expense. He sent us the bill and later unloaded the cat on us. Now Mrs. Heat has continued to treat this damned feline as though she were royalty, rather than a shameless little Quebecois hillbilly who probably mated with her brother or dad. Why do women feel the need to do this?

Know what you mean, but there is nothing like cuddling a grand or a great grand who after cuddling goes back to those who change diapers and pace the floor at night. wub

A vet told me to treat him like big dog and I did, sort of, you know. He does have special needs that require him to eat real food rather than the commercial canned dog food but he does eat kibble too. No duck pate for Roland though, too rich for his diet and well being and really, Roland just wants a bit of whatever is going and he usually gets it, after the Alpha of the house! Actually, some dogs won't eat until their people do and Roland is one of those dogs. Sure confused me as I would feed the dog first and then worry about why he was not eating! He was just being dog gone polite and would eat once I started rattling around doing the dishes after dinner.
