I've actually had a vet berate me for allowing my katz to go outside! I understand the health concepts, yes. But good grief. Cats are made to be outdoor animals. All the kitties I've ever had would pine away and die if they couldn't do a little catting around outside.

Recently had a discussion with another vet who wanted me to give my cats pills for fleas. I told her they don't have fleas. And they don't. I plant fleabane all over in my yard and it has worked really well. And I comb them frequently to check for the hungry little critters.

Well, for preventative purposes she suggested. No thanks.
