Laborious? It took less than a minute. And I first heard the China connection mentioned on WINS radio, a 24 hour news station in NYC which is a CBS affiliate.
For the record, I am the owner of 4 cats, including one very old cat who has had chronic kidney failure for over 4 years.
When I saw your post about your cat living 4 yrs with kidney failure, I rejoiced. Can you give me some advice?
