How to cure a UTI in cats We had another scare with Lili this week. The day did not start well.  If it wasn’t bad enough that my alarm clock didn’t wake me up on time, Tuesday morning I woke up to discover that Lili had wet the bed.  She had another UTI.  UGH!  I […]

Updated 6/1/19 Can cats get acid reflux? Look at this cute face!  This is Tanisha, a Himalayan Persian who was diagnosed with acid reflux disease sometime after she turned ten years old.  Is acid reflux in cats a real thing?  Apparently so!

A couple of weekends ago I went to visit my aunt Bonnie and uncle Gary in Waco, TX. It had been awhile since I was last there, and we had so much to talk about!   I also had a cat agenda, too.  It was finally time for their resident feral kitty turned love bug, Major, […]

Natural herbal remedies for cats In the spirit of Halloween, I remember lots of fun times growing up as kids when my sister and I would enjoy trick or treating, watching scary movies, and indulging in our favorite sweets.  Images of witches stirring herbs into a boiling cauldron, creating potions and casting spells only add […]

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.

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.

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!
