My brother, four-years-older, never seemed to be home. I have never had a conversation with him, and I am now in my late forties. He was never interested in getting to know me or including me in his life. He was someone I knew was there but my existence, and his, was meaningless. We lived in the same house, but we were both more like boarders. He always was off with his buddies. I didn't really meet those people until the high school years, but even then it didn't matter.

However, the litterbox should always be the best bathroom option available — otherwise you can run into problems. But let's start at the beginning. Just because a cat naturally is driven to use the litterbox, that doesn't necessarily mean you can't litterbox train a stubborn cat or encourage appropriate elimination behavior.

If they're to succeed as lurking hunters, they must be able to detect the most minute rustlings[..]

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a particularly nasty disease-one that causes great confusion and distress. The name itself is misleading; the only absolutely true point about the name is the "feline," since it is not especially infectious, nor is it always peritonitis (inflammation in the abdominal cavity). Unfortunately, the disease is almost always fatal in its active form. As a rule, FIP develops primarily in young cats under 2 years of age, or in older cats age 10 and up. It is fairly rare in the middle years. A study of more than 800 cats in Great Britain found that in homes where a cat had died of FIP, the transmission rate to other cats in the home was less than 5%. Since[..]
