It leads to longer-lived and healthier cats. Maybe you could start a trend! Anyway, good luck to you and long life to your cats. I'm sure they are greatly loved.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-69236730438363412252010-11-17T20:19:06.583-06:002010-11-17T20:19:06.583-06:00It's true that when I look around my garden th...It's true that when I look around my garden these days, I see mostly orange, queerbychoice.

You ...Hi Birdwoman, thanks for dropping by my site. You certainly have a hectic orange garden, hectic because there's a lot of orange colors. It is depressing that these colors will in a short while will lend themselves to frost. BTW about our cats, neutralizing them is not a common practice here, as services are so far and difficult to bring them there. But that is certainly the best way of minimizing the problem. We do them in male dogs, but also not very often.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275431955885463071.post-66873710179667132802010-11-17T18:53:42.402-06:002010-11-17T18:53:42.402-06:00You have so much orange!
