Lifted from Drudge. ↑ The linked article is a rather sad story about kitty-abuse, or neglect, having to do with careless partying in Sydney. Apparently the cat [ ...could have licked "plates of cocaine" which had been served at a dinner party two days earlier.] The kitty flipped out and eventually taken to the vet. No law requiring vets to report. Counseled, lesson learned, everybody went home. See, I made this anim before I read that so you have to agree the apositeness was prescient.
Also from Drudge. ↓ In an advert. Little kitties lined up, ha. Whoever thinks this actually happens never photographed cats.
cheeky kitty

clean kitty.
Cats obsess over cleaning themselves. They lick their paws compulsively to get at the bits their tongues don't reach. They go so far as to actually choke up hairballs. 100% of fact. The dangers arising from these habits can be avoided with damp washcloths and basins of fresh water set about convenient places. The water is to be cooled but not cold in the summer and warmed but not hot in the winter. The towels are to be replaced regularly. I'm amazed you have to be told this. Go on then, they're looking to you to provide these things.
