Hi everyone
Gee you guys are soooo lucky. I have three Kitty Kats. Willie Brown aka
Mimi or aka Mama Kat.
I have PalKat, the oldest boy and the daughter Do Do. Why do i call her Do
Do--cus she has a very difficult time hitting the litter box. I mean after
ten years one would think!!!
I have seen owners of Dogs say stiff like, Sit--fetch, stay--come here.
Try that with a KAT!!!!!!!!
i think Kitty Kats are like Memebers Of Phil-Lit, THEY HAVE MINDS OF THEIR
OWN!
i tried fancy feast and soemmtimes that doesn't work
