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 […]

On Giving Tuesday a friend of mine was interested in adopting a beautiful kitty at a pet adoption event held at her workplace.  It’s an event looked forward to every year, and this year Rachel felt she was ready to take on the commitment.  However, there was just one issue.  This shelter cat came with […]

When a bunch of crazy cat loving people converge under one roof things can get very interesting—especially if you throw in lots of cats!  I just spent December 7-8 in such a place; it’s called Snowcats Cat Convention held at The Cable Center in Denver, Colorado!  What is Snowcats? Unlike any convention I’ve ever been […]

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 […]

Christmas is just a little over a month away!  I can’t believe the year is almost over–again.  Where do the days go?  Sometimes we get so busy we don’t realize the impact this time of year can have on our cats, too.  Therefore, as we usher in the holiday season this week with Thanksgiving, I […]

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, […]

In the summer of 2018 a feral cat started showing up in the vicinity of my house.  Unbeknownst to me at the time I later learned our neighborhood had a TNR program (trap, neuter, return) for neighborhood feral cats.   This kitty was different somehow.  Filled with sadness, it was his eyes that got to me.  He […]

Life has a funny way of getting our attention at times, doesn’t it?  Perhaps in ways we don’t expect or circumstances that are extremely painful.  Ironically, it is in those times we learn the most–about ourselves and about life.  There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “When the student is ready the teacher appears.”  […]
