For some people talking about poop is very uncomfortable, but in my world it comes with the territory.  After all, poop gives some interesting insight into the health of an individual.  Just this past weekend I watched an amazing interview hosted by The Two Crazy Cat Ladies with Dr. Margo Roman, DVM.  The topic?  MicroBiome […]

I received an email this week that made me cry.  Granted, they were happy tears!  When Michael reached out to me almost a month ago I could sense the desperation resonating through the phone. He had just purchased a custom dose of Lyssin, a homeopathic remedy often used in the treatment of an adverse reaction […]

And so it begins.  Spring is officially in full bloom in many parts of the country!  This can be a welcomed sight for many people who are ready to say goodbye to winter.  However, if you have a cat with seasonal allergies you’re probably saying something like, “Oh no…here we go again!”  I had several […]

I’m seeing it more and more with cat clients I work with:  vaccines are resonating as stressors.  And this hurts my heart!  What cat parents need to know is that vaccines do not come without risk.  Serious, chronic diseases can develop as a result of vaccines, as well as immediate acute symptoms.  This is why […]

This time of year is always about new beginnings.  January 1st ushered in a new day, a new month, a new year, and a new decade.  I also learned in numerology that the year 2020 is a “4”, and 4 is about manifesting all that you hope and dream of.  If you’re a cat mom […]

Probably best known for being hairless, the Sphynx breed of cat is full of personality.  They are very friendly, affectionate, enjoy being the center of attention, and tend to follow their owners around like dogs.  Back in October 2018 I was contacted by cat mom, Eve, regarding her Sphynx cat, Bi Nai.  He’s an indoor […]

  Sometimes I consider myself a natural health nerd.  For example, I am simply fascinated by the healing power of plants, and many people probably think this is weird.  Nonetheless, today I am excited about a special type of herbal medicine:  gemmotherapy, also known as plant stem cell therapy.  This powerful form of herbal therapy […]

One of the most common issues I see in cat clients is food sensitivity.  Not to be confused with food allergies, food sensitivities manifest themselves differently.  In fact, there are a number of things to look for if you suspect your cat may have a food sensitivity.   Food sensitivity or food allergy? First of all, […]

I love stories with happy endings!  Perhaps it’s because in real life this isn’t always the case, especially in the lives of rescue cats.  I want you to meet a very special kitty to me; his name is Pooh Bear.  His name, probably inspired by the lovable orange bear we all know from childhood stories, […]
