Our cats are too pampered - they have cat flap access 24/7 (odd location unknown to other local furry friends), indoor litter tray (both getting old now and whereas before they wouldn't mind going out in a light drizzle, now they balk if it's cloudy), first class passenger lounge with drinks and snacks, TV and Xbox, and visiting pedicure. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I'd say the lack of response by the dog people is due to the fact that we have to pick up shit every day. And vacuum a pound of hair out of the rug/bed/corners every week. We don't have (like my sister) kitty litters that automatically comb the poop out of the litter hourly and put it an a bag for you!!!
