SaraSewing, I love your tag line. It say it all.
As for the cats, our Lady has a messed up digestion system because her mom was exposed to bug extermination spray while pregnant. Lady was the only baby to live. She also has stomatitis which doesn't have a cure either. She is about 9 now and has had several teeth removed, and the vet wants to extract more. Her gums are better sometimes and not at others.
After I yelled at her the first time she threw up on the quilt she now throws up at the end of the bed, but on the floor, where my husband goes to his side of the bed, she is, after all, his baby!
