Cat Health Quiz

Entirely Pets has a Cat Quiz that you and your cat might want to fill out. You answer a few questions, then they e-mail you your cat’s “profile.” It’s not 100% accurate, though - for example, they said that “Prissy the ancient” was 24 in human years, making her a young adult. Apparently their system misread something, because - at 18, my Prissy (unfortunately) is nowhere near a young anything……

Beloved Older Cats

The diva above is our much, much, much beloved Prissy. She’ll be 18 in September - and, yes, I know how old that is in human years but won’t allow myself to think about it……

Flaxseed for Arthritis and Shine

If you have an elderly cat (like Prissy) or a vain one (like Alexa), you may consider buying flaxseed as a dietary supplement. Each, in their own way would benefit.

Lack of Posts for Over a Week…

You’ve probably noticed that I went for about 10 days without posting on this blog. Very rare, indeed. The reason is a sad one - one of my cats, my beautiful and spirited Carly, has disappeared.

Sleep Tunnel

If you spend much time reading about the health, happiness, and well-being of cats, you know how VERY important it is for them to stay active - both physically and mentally. They become bored easily, which is worse (physically and emotionally) on an animal than a human.

Prissy the Ancient

I think I’m driving one of my cats batty. Prissy is our oldest cat and is, naturally, showing lots of signs of aging. She has been losing weight, has stopped jumping as much (she pretty much just waits for one of us to come along and oh so carefully put her where she wants to be), doesn’t bathe as often as she once did, sleeps a lot more, and simply isn’t as observant as she once was.
