Expert Advice on Cat Health, Nutrition and Lifestyle.
Hi everyone, it’s Allegra and Ruby! Don’t tell on us – we snuck on the computer while Mom was asleep. And it’s a good thing we did, because we noticed she didn’t have her usual Sunday Purrs post written for today. That’s just as well, because we were going to delete it and post this instead – because today is Mom’s birthday!
Ruby: Do you think Mom will be happy when she sees this, Allegra?Continue Reading
Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! I want to tell you about my super cool new toys! They’re called Cat Crazies, and they really do drive me crazy – but in a really good way. I like it when Mom tosses one out for me. I go bounding after it, and then I pick it up with my mouth and carry it around.
Mom keeps trying to get me to bring it back to her, but what fun would that be? It’s much more fun to watch her try to get it out after I’ve kicked it under furniture. I try to be very helpful by getting down right next to her when she’s crawling around on the floor.Continue Reading
Sunday Purrs will go on hiatus for the next three weeks so we may bring you a very special three part series. Stay tuned!
Hi, everyone, it’s Ruby! Today is a very special day for me: three years ago today, my mom brought me home! The last three years have been the best!
Look at the fun collage Mom of kitten pictures that made for me for my anniversary! My favorite is the one of Mom holding my carrier, the day she picked me up from my foster family. She looks so happy. Mom says I still look like a kitten, but I’m a big girl now!
I can’t wait to see what Allegra and Ruby have planned for me today. I hope it involves tuna! Yummy!
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.
The amount of work is the same. – Francesca Reigler
I usually offer tips and suggestions on how to live a happier life in this column, but sometimes, there is value in identifying what makes us miserable. Awareness is the first important step toward making lasting change, and becoming aware of self-sabotaging habits that get in the way of living our best life can help clear out negative mindsets.
It helps to understand that unhappiness is never the result of external circumstances, but rather, the way we react to those circumstances. Wayne Dyer had it right Continue Reading
Today is a very special day for me: four years ago today, Mom brought me home! It’s been an amazing three years, and it seems like every day, life gets better. I hope you enjoy the collage of baby pictures Mom put together in honor of my anniversary.
I can’t wait to see what Mom and Ruby have planned for me today!
Sunday Purrs will return next week.
How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards. – Spanish Proverb
Sundays are for resting, and taking a break. And sometimes, the best way to spend a Sunday is to do absolutely nothing.
We live in such crazy busy times that stress has become the norm for most people, and because of that, most of us don’t even realize how stressed we are until we allow ourselves to slow down. It’s well known that the more stressed we are, the more damage we do not just to our mental health, but also to our bodies. Continue Reading
I am pleased to announce that I have earned the credential of Certified Veterinary Journalist from the American Society of Veterinary Journalists. As a former veterinary hospital manager, and as someone who works hard at bringing you cat health information you can trust, this certification means a lot to me.
The ASVJ certifies veterinarians, animal health professionals and veterinary contributors to public media ranging from print to blogs to radio and television. The goal of the ASVJ, and the certification, is to establish the credibility and the recognition of journalistic standards in the veterinary profession Continue Reading
And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time. – Libba Bray
I love my life. I’m blessed with my two beautiful girls, Allegra and Ruby. I get to do work I love every single day. I have wonderful friends. I have a safe, warm home. And yet, as we got another foot of snow on Monday, I started to think about making some big changes. Namely, moving to a warmer climate where I will never have to shovel snow again.
I’ve lived in the same house for the last 30 years, so for me to even start to think about moving is a big deal. I have a love/hate relationship with change.Continue Reading
