Advice needed-- indoor cats

[davsand]

28. He did come through it, and he's a fat and sassy Senior Citizen now.

Vet put him on "Fat Kitty Food" a year ago because he got up around 17 or 18 pounds. Lest you think I am a horrible cat mommy, however, I want to stress that he is a REALLY big cat along with being chubby. He can stand on his hind legs and wrap his paws around a door knob--I've watched him do it... He's THAT big.

He still plays and runs around some, and he's very "chatty." He loves his nip and the occasional nibble of smoked salmon with a passion, and he's got a catnip stuffed toy that he carries from room to room like a dog would. Every morning he wakes me up sometime around 5 or 6 AM by gently patting my face with his paw. If that doesn't get a response then he sticks his nose in my ear and purrs.

He's just a big old sweetie, and he rules the household. Can't imagine life without him. THAT is why I came in here to talk about what happened with that flea treatment. I think MOST people care for their dogs and cats--a lot like family--and I just hate the thought of somebody's vet cajoling them into possibly poisoning their loved one.
