I love this theme! Sadie would like to add some notes for me as well: Fancy Feast Turkey Pate. Mom knows I love pates, but I like the turkey most. Can't eat the chicken because it has fish in it which makes my tummy upset. I also sometimes eat the salmon, if I'm in the mood. Salmon is ok, and...

I use Stella and Chewy' freeze dried chicken. I don't rehydrate, simply because my carnivorous monsters don't seem to like it that way! They like the texture of it dry, and to chew it (they don't get any dry food, so this is like their treat.) Sometimes I do have to break them up for the...

NOT AN ENTRY I just had to toss these on here... Had me going down memory lane a bit. I bought more clothes for this guy than myself one year. 🤣

Entry: Casper. Wearing his "I'm on the naughty list" hoodie. The one cat I ever knew who liked to wear sweaters or sweatshirts because he was cold in the winter. Lol RIP little buddy. ❤️

Awwww, so wonderful to hear!! Isn't it amazing what a good diet will do for a coat? Our newer family member (adopted May of last year) had such a burly rough coat, it made my skin itch. He didn't have much of a history to share either, other than he was surrendered. I often wonder about his...

Aw, Henry is beautiful! 😍❤️ I'm glad she is doing better. I can empathize with the anxiety piece, after going through a years worth of blood draws every two weeks for Sadie she had quite a time adjusting to knocking at the door. She still doesn't come out for visitors, but at least she no longer...

I have all three past kitties ashes in beautiful oak boxes, a clay paw print on little easels in front of them, a small "treasure" box with their favorite toy and a whisker or tuft of fur, and a digital picture frame that rotates through various photos. The nice thing about the picture frame is...

How is Henri doing? I hope better! I just dropped in to share Sadie's update, since she had something similar. The vet checked her teeth and gums as well, and while she does have a few not so great areas she didn't see anything that was too concerning. However - she noticed she had some eye and...

Jojoba is beautiful!! 💕 I agree, I have had two cats in my life (one currently) that go every other day, just about. But his poos are nice shaped not too soft or hard. We did have a scare a month back where he didn't go for 5 days 😬 and miralax just made him super gassy. He did eventually go...

I'm sorry Henry is having issues! 🥺 Sadie is also having some dental issues at the moment, she would eat her wet food but the moment it hit whatever sensitive area she would jerk up and run down the stairs. She would get hungry, but be weary of eating. Since she has an autoimmune disorder we...

There are very limited studies surrounding the effects of corticosteroids on the feline heart, simply because cats have a limited reaction to this drug at low dosages. I was able to find one independent study here...

I just wanted to post an update for any future pet parents that might encounter a sudden bout of constipation in their kitties. I spoke with the vet the Friday following Julian's visit. All his lab work was unremarkable; her only concern was the little somewhat unidentifiable spot in his lower...

Well it seems we're on the aftermath of the constipation... His last #2 was a bit runny from the miralax (I've since stopped dosing.) The x-ray showed he was very gassy too, I'm sure due to a combination of everything. He's still eating, maybe about 3/4 to 1/2 of his normal diet. I'm not that...

Thank you!! I think I was literally on high alert after losing Casper and dealing with years of his GI issues. But good news!! I watched a vet video on massaging the hind end to help motivate a bowel movement and ... Ta-da!!! We have poop!! I've never been so happy in my life to get skunked out...

Hi folks, it has been some time since I posted! Unfortunately we're having some issues with our newest family member Julian. To give some background, we adopted Julian in May of last year. He's about two years old now, and is very vocal/active but is a sweetheart. He has a great appetite and...

Thanks to both of you for these! I have tried using cinnamon to "dust" around the steps, it didn't work much. I have pump sprayers and chicken wire so I might try both of these. I have covers on the back windows, but Sadie still knows when they're out there... 🤦‍♀️ Lol. We call her our guard...

Pasta seems to be the theme today. Leftover homemade lasagna. Mmm....

Hi all, I just wanted to post to get some thoughts and opinions on what to do here. We live in a small city which can have an animal issue at times. In the past, I'd set up housing in the winter for the local few (and I mean few, one or two) strays that I had historically seen in our area...

Before my Casper passed, he was diagnosed with stomatitis. I was lucky that it was well controlled with only 6 extractions. But we pulse dosed with a low grade antibiotic every month and that seemed to help, a long with having lysine on hand (I don't know if there is a correlation but it did...

I am so truly sorry, I feel your pain. It's difficult enough with the loss of one family member, let alone two within a short time. And yes, they are our family fur and all. I hope you do volunteer, when you are ready. It sounds like a great solution for the interim since you can't really adopt...
