Things always happen for a reason. Most of the time we are only able to discern the reason after events have happened, and we are looking back trying to make sense of it all. But sometimes, even though we may be looking for meaning, we can miss the message if our hearts and minds are truly not fully open to receive that message.

A Week of Cat Health Challenges It has been quite an interesting week in our household. We’ve dealt with a kitty emergency that no pet parent wants to face.  As much as I prefer holistic health approaches, there are times when emergency medicine is called for.  I also tried a new product that I can’t […]

The Truth About Cat Illnesses It makes me so sad when I see posts from friends and strangers alike that their kitty has cancer, is going through toxic treatments, or worse, has passed away from a horrible disease or condition.  Having lost several animals over the years for various reasons, all the heartbreak and painful […]

We’ve all heard the expression, “Small changes can make big differences.” When it comes to exploring natural health options for your cat’s health problems does it feel overwhelming? Where do you start? Don’t feel like you have to be an expert in holistic medicine, nutrition or alternative therapies. By simply doing a little research you’ll be amazed at all the great nuggets of information you can find.

A friend of mine contacted me this week to introduce me to her rescue cat, Liz Taylor. She’s a Bengal mix, born with a hip problem believed to be due to breeding, and she’s got the feline herpes virus 1. With health challenges like these it’s not surprising to learn that Liz is a bit shy and probably a little moody. After all, when you don’t feel good…well, we’ve all been there. I offered to do some muscle testing of her diet, and you’ll be blown away by the results!

Do you know what the worst cat food brands are? I got a tweet this week that really caught my eye:  Top Worst Cat Food Brands.  Naturally, I was curious after doing so much of my own research on the subject of pet food that I had to click over and take a peek. After […]

Have you ever tried to give a pill to a cat?  If you’ve owned cats for any length of time there’s always the inevitable illness of sorts that results in the vet sending you home with a bottle of…pills!  How many cats do you know that take pills without resisting?  The vet makes it look […]

I know the topic of annual vaccinations for pets can be very controversial, but I truly feel in my heart that apart from learning to read and understand pet food labels, getting the facts about vaccines and immunology is one of the most important things you can do.  It will help you decide, as your pet’s guardian, what truly is in his best interest.  

It’s been quite stressful in our home these past couple of days.  The day I have been dreading for months has finally come…and gone.  I’m happy to report we’ve come out on the other side unscathed, but it was a close call. Aylen is now nine months old!  Where did the time go?  I made […]
