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 […]

I came across another great email in my inbox this week.  I love how World’s Best Cat Litter comes up with some really fun ways to engage their audience!  Check out their latest game:  “Hay…There’s a Cat!”  When you find all the cats it gives you a chance to win lots of free cat litter!  […]

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!
