Yesterday I learned of the loss a true friend, Alfie (Sir Alfred). Actually he was much more than a friend, he was like a brother to me. We ran a group together, paw-mailed each other about everything and we had so much in common. He has always been there for me, even when I didn't ask, he just knew to be there. I am very sad for his meowmy, his friends and for me, we will all miss him terribly. I know in my heart he is now with his beloved brother Wally whom he loved so much and that is of some comfort.
But still I feel lost, there are just no words good enough to describe what he and his family mean to us. Meowmy has cried most of the day, me too. Please go by his page and spend a few moments remembering him and say a prayer for his dear family.
The "In Vet Blogs" is featuring a story about FDA pet food recalls, okay so that is a good thing, but what is with that photo? Is that cat supposed to be passed out sick or dead in his plate of food? This picture infurriates me! Sensationalism is not necessary here! We all know the horrors of tainted food and it's not like there isn't a zillion other photos that could have been used, that would not be so offensive. If any of us posted a photo like that we would be getting our paws slapped in a hurry, has Catster forgotten children come here? That photo is unsuitable in my opinion, I hope it is removed soon.
I recently clicked on one of the Google ads featured here on Catster for Kidney Disease in Cats. It is promoting books by Michael Dole on natural care. It had a rather disgusting photo, detail of which I will spare you. I attempted to e-mail him at the address about the ad and guess what-the e-mail came back as undeliverable! So I googled him and there are others who have had the same problem, some have even sent him money and never received anything in return and they can't contact him either! Seems as if he has a lot of ads out there concerning various illness in dogs and cats and simply just rewords the same ad for each illness. So buyer beware!
