    Lactose intolerant. Who would have thunk it?! Ok, no milk.

    Christy- as always a comprehensive answer, thanks so much. If we get kitty i will follow your diet!

    I think flea and worm treatment is readily available MD.

    Ginger- YOU are the sole reason i'm even contemplating it. I figure you're alright and you love cats.

    There is a visiting vet that comes to look after the guard dogs for a security company in Lae. They come once or twice a year apparently, so i was hoping i could get it desexed through them. although i have no idea if that is possible.

    What's the go with those kitty litter trays? Do you have to have one? We have a HUGE yard and i'd be happy if it just went a poo'd at the back of the garden somewhere. Is it possible to train a cat to do that? What's the advantage of a tray?

    The advantage of a tray is to give them somewhere to go when they are inside the house (esp if you have a cat which is kept in at night when they are active), but also handy if they are litter-tray trained for those few occasions when you might need to keep them in.

    We have a litter tray cos our cats are inside cats and we don't want them pooping in the shower - they already drink the water there after we've had one.....
