I love our Okaysou air purifiers. I have one in every room in my house. I’m fortunate that pollen doesn’t bother me, but given how well these air purifiers work in our home on everything else, I’m pretty sure they would make a big difference for pollen sufferers.Continue Reading

Water is critical to keeping your cat healthy. Lack of water can lead to chronic low-level dehydration, which in turn can lead to urinary tract and kidney problems. If you suspect your cat isn’t drinking enough water, a fountain might prompt her to stay better hydrated. Many cats are attracted to running water, so a fountain can be a great way to encourage them to drink more.
In a recent article for Animal Wellness, I explained what to look for in a fountain.

It’s probably a safe bet that most of us have bought a cat bed, only to find that our cats either don’t like it at all, or only like it for a brief period of time. Allegra sleeps with me on my bed at night, but I still like her to have a couple of beds in other parts of the house. I always have one bed in my office, and a couple of additional ones in the living room.Continue Reading

Does your cat love her cat carrier? If you’re like the majority of cat parents, your answer will be “no.” Most cats are leery of the carrier, especially if trips to the vet are the only time they need to be in it. As a result, most cat parents are resigned that getting their cats into a carrier will result in a struggle. And yet, the carrier can be vital in an emergency – and it’s up to you to break your cat’s negative association with the carrier and convince her that being inside the carrier can be a good thing.Continue Reading
