Ask the AgonyCats will appear at
unpredictable, feline intervals, depending on cat moods and the mailbox. If you
would like to solicit advice, comment or send an email to:
askthecats
AT sbpoet DOT com. Boo and/or Spike will be happy to respond. Maybe.

Both AgonyCats have a great deal of
experience in inter-species relationships, though they bring somewhat different
perspectives to the situations they encounter. Any problem submitted for their
consideration is assured of the utmost discretion, expertise, and
privacy.*  Feline correspondents will, of course, have priority.

solution is guaranteed to be effective under any circumstance, and
AgonyCats accepts no liability for hurt
feelings, inadvertent or deliberately inflicted wounds, or any other damages
that may ensue from incorrectly or correctly implementing any suggestions

We will be checking for your helpful, help-needed response.
