A friend of mine had a cat who recently died. She says he died of a "broken heart" when she was in jail for 3 days. However, this cat was also obese! I tried to gently tell her that it could have been a congenative heart condition or something like that. But no, she insists that it was a broken heart (as if she has any veterinary experience). I'm not even going to DARE suggest that it was his weight; she'll go totally POSTAL on me!

Also, she now has a new kitty (about 5 or 6 mo. old). She REFUSES to have him FIXED!!! She says it will change his personality!

Suggestions?
