Re: no support for incontinent cat

Licalyme, It is your brother's choice to leave. You are not 'choosing'. He is not as compassionate as you, more the pity. Sounds like you keep things clean & smelling nice, and other family is remarking 'to bring you to your senses' about your guy. They just do not understand animals are not dis...
