Expert Advice on Cat Health, Nutrition and Lifestyle.
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Mom said I could tell you about how I sleep with her every night because she says it’s “so cute.” I don’t know why she thinks it’s cute that I have to readjust my sleeping position every time she turns over, but whatever!Continue Reading
The other day, I was in my laundry room when I saw a tiny little mouse scurry across the floor in front of my feet. And while I think mice are adorable, I don’t really want to share my living space with them. Of course, this also explained why Allegra and Ruby had been hanging out outside the laundry room door quite a bit lately!Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me! Today, I want to tell you about something Mom did to me that wasn’t very nice at all. I mean, I love Mom more than anything in the world, but let me tell you, I wasn’t loving her so much the other afternoon.
Mom trims my nails about once a month. I’m usually pretty good for it. Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! I’m seven years old today! Apparently that means I’m officially a senior kitty now, but Mom says I sure don’t act like one. She says I will always be her kitten. I still look like one, too, because I’m so tiny. I may be tiny, but I’m mighty!Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Allegra and Ruby! Guess what! Today is Mom’s birthday. Even though Mom had one of her very serious posts about some very serious topic scheduled for today, we decided that on her birthday, she needs to have fun and not write about serious stuff. So we rescheduled her serious post for next week, and instead, we’re surprising her for her birthday! Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Today is a very important day! It’s my 6h adoption anniversary! Six years ago today, Mom brought me home to live with her and Allegra. What a happy girl I was that day, and I’ve thanked my lucky stars every day since then!Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! If you’ve read Mom’s four-part series titled “Ruby Goes to the Dentist” last week, you already know what happened to me. In case you missed it, here are the four posts:
Ruby Goes to the Dentist – Part One: Diagnosis and Choosing a Veterinary Dentist
Ruby Goes to the Dentist – Part Two: Preparation
Ruby Goes to the Dentist – Part Three: Our Day at Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery
Ruby Goes to the Dentist – Part Four: Returning Home and Recovery
Mom did a pretty good job describing everything that happened, but I figured you’d want to hear about the experience from me. After all, I’m the brave little kitten who lived through this awful trauma – and lived to tell you the story!Continue Reading

Finding out that your cat needs dental work provokes anxiety in most cat guardians, and I’m not immune to those fears. Despite my years of working in veterinary clinics, and having been through many dental procedures with the cats that came before Allegra and Ruby, there’s not much that makes me feel as anxious as the thought of one of my babies having to undergo anesthesia.
