we woulda had Oz put down 5 years ago when the coyote broke her spine, but my daughter is a vet technician, so we got her discount. Our cat acted more like a dog, Siamese cats talk, different meows, we knew what she wanted, or that someone pulled into the drive, or an animal in the yard. She also would come to you if you whistled, similar to calling a dog, and did not respond to "kitty-kitty at all. Something that a lot of people don't know or understand about cats, they are obligate carnivores, they can only digest meat, veggie and fillers go right thru and make the poop messy & stinky/ Fed em raw meat only, and the poops don't smell and they are like hard marbles, I know, TMI. Her favorite food was chicken gizzards. actually cheaper than commercial cat food that is loaded with non meat fillers
