While we are away, I am having the neigbor girl look in on my little darlings in the afternoon but earlier in the day, I have the vet tech from the clinic look after them. Missie is deaf so I worry about her getting all stressed at not finding me during the day...and YumYum who is doing very well has had the liver problem. So a pair of trained eyes on the kitties will be a good thing even if it is expensive.
