outside animals or lawn. Our deck is screened and they're not allowed out without us. I have told the vet how uncomfortable I am with poisoning the boys monthly... she isn't hearing me. ( She gave me the EXACT same line from last year, "We had two cats this year test positive for heartworm and one was strictly indoor".

I'm so disgusted and determined I need a new vet.
