I'm a 74 yr old mother of 4, grand-mother of 5 and great-grandmother of 4. I've raised kittens for 50+ years (bred Siamese/Himalayans for 14+ yrs). I have 8 spayed/neutered cats currently, .. (7 indoor), have had dogs all of my life, 4 currently, 3 parrots, 1 horse, and 14 head of cattle. I've been married for 57 yrs, and have lived in Texas my whole life. I love animals, and try to give them the love and respect that they're due. I'm much more tolerant of their idiosyncrasies than those of humans! I try to give the best advice that I'm capable of, after the experiences of a lifetime with animals. I have two books that I use, to help answer questions,(Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook, and The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Dogs and Cats). I try not to give harmful advice, and have little patience with those who abuse this website. I enjoy this time of trying to help people who are in distress over their pets.I try to respect all questions.
