As a pet owner, one of the most important things I feel I can do for my cats is to feed them high quality pet food. There are many reasons to feed your dog or cat a grain-free diet, the most important being the fact that animals can’t digest grains the way that humans can, [...]

December 5, 2011 4 Comments
Our cat Vinny was a mess when he ate. I don’t know what he’d do, but there was always food everywhere when he was done. Sadly, he passed away a year and a half ago, but I can’t say that the cats we have adopted since him have been much neater. Fed up with the [...]

Six months ago we said goodbye to our beautiful Fluff, our 7 year old cat who fought kidney disease with everything she had, but couldn’t beat it. She loved Violet, and Violet loved her. And we loved her. And I still cry over her at least a few times a week. It absolutely broke my [...]

We have been proud parents to four cats over the past not-quite five years. Each one of them has been different from the next in terms of how active they are to what types of toys get them moving. Fortunately, PetSmart has something for everykitty. Be honest. If you’ve ever owned a cat, you know [...]

Often the forgotten kitty since knock on wood Ellis is a very healthy boy and unlike any of his fur-siblings he’s never had to spend significant time heading to the vet, he is also our very first kitty. By about 30 minutes, but still. Ellis chose my husband at the shelter but literally wrapping himself [...]

A year ago this morning I made a very difficult phone call to our family vet to make an appointment to send our sweet Vinny to the Rainbow Bridge. He had already been diagnosed with a tumor on his spine, was unable to bear weight on his front right leg, and the night before he [...]
I don’t want another cat

Not now, at least. My heart still isn’t ready. I have to drive near Alameda East (the veterinary hospital where Fluff had her surgery, and ultimately passed away) at least twice a week, if not more. I get within about six blocks and I have mini-anxiety/panic attacks. I have a hard time breathing and I’m [...]
