make sure to get your kitten or puppy tested with a full blood panel 'cause if your pet has a rare blood disorder then it will get real sick near their 1st yr birthday...its only in kittens of what i know of from experience...the kitten doesn't live past 1 yr old...I lost my first ever cat Jasmina Skye to the disorder...it is just something you should test your new kitten or puppy for...'cause if they have it you will have to prepare yourself to put your new pet to sleep at a very young age for it and it isn't fun...believe me...but don't give it up to a kennel or shelter but rather give it as much love as you can before the 1 yr old point comes...just thought I would let all you animal lovers know since rare blood disorder doesn't have a cure.
