How much water does a cat need to drink? I know they do need water, but my two cats seem to be entirely different. Bertha drinks a ton of water. Phillip, I almost never see drinking. Should I be worried about him?
I have been buying Frontline Plus for my little dog, Goofy, but now my cat, Sebastian, has fleas too, even though he hardly ever goes out. Can I just the same Frontline Plus for him?

Do cats have mood swings? What kind of question is that? Is the earth round? Does water run down hill? Of course cats have mood swings.
My dog and cat are both due for their annual vaccinations and I was all set to make the appointment, but then another pet-loving friend just forwarded a link to a website about holistic health care for pets that said that vaccinations can cause all kinds of problems in our pets, including cancer.
