Written by Cheryl L. True on April 13, 2009 – 2:52 am -by Cheryl L. True Although your cat may act independently and be litter-trained, it still counts on you to provide it with food, water, safe shelter, regular veterinary care, companionship and more. Pamper it with these essential items: Outfit your cat with a collar and ID tag that includes your name, address and telephone number. No matter how careful you are, there’s a chance your companion may slip out the door. An ID tag greatly increases the chance that your cat will be returned home safely.

True Because of our different life spans, it’s very difficult to accept the fact that we humans will almost always outlive our furry friends. But it is a sad fact that we must all face.

You’re looking for someone to meet your needs and those of your pet, a doctor who has people as well as animal skills.
