Three Oriental Shorthair cats snuggling (CC-BY-SA) by Earth68

Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: I’m considering a move which would be the best thing for me financially, socially, and mental-healthyfully (you know what I mean).

Help! I’ve got a needy kitten and a very jealous older cat!

December 9, 2007 | by The Paws and Effect Gang | cat behavior, cats and other pets, cats and people | 5 Comments
