Fundamentally Feline

Does Tonka look healthy to you? EXACTLY my point.

Preventative care vet appointments are important, one never knows what you’ll find “under the hood”.

You often worry about what you can see, and it is what you can’t see, that is often much more important! Conditions one wouldn’t know about without a doctor’s exam, lab work, x-rays and ultrasound.

Join me on what will hopefully be a short journey towards teach teaching Tonka to accept an asthma inhaler. If you are on this journey with your cat yourself, I already have a complete YouTube video on training this behavior but we’re now doing it live in real time a little bit each day…

Have you tried INABA Churu - World's # 1 company for Wet Cat Treats & Mixers Churu popsicles with your cats yet? I made a video about making these last summer, as you can see, they are a hit! Nice refreshing treat on a hot day! Søren is preferring to have his as a “bowl of Churu ice cream!”

Muy Adorbs!

Ember and Tank sharing a moment in their “special vests” thank you and for secure harnesses! Nothing is a 100% so supervision is a must!

If you swipe….digging in a chipmunk hole will result in lots of self grooming tonight and the ever concerned Svenderson making sure Tank is ok while rolling on ground! Sven and daddy supervising fun!

So much debate…when asked if I had opinions I jumped at the opportunity to interview on this topic, to encourage HARD SIDED cat carriers, with a top loading feature, that come apart in two halves! And PLEASE, put bedding in your cat carriers! Your cat does not wish to fly around in their like a hockey puck or swim in their own excrement should they have an accident!

Of course, I also took opportunity to advocate for my preferred strollers, you might recognize them!

From classic hard-sided carriers to snazzy strollers.

Great Pyrenees, the new breed of feline, enjoying time. In so many ways I finally have a giant wild cat in this dog. The similarities are ridiculous.

For all of those people who state their cat is a “cat dog” and so dog-like, I often say, “Nope, that’s just a cat, they are that cool, that trainable, that personable” but now I can say, I have “dog cat” which is even better! 😉

The catios and screen porch needed some serious attention. Yesterday they were all vacuumed, power washed during and despite rainstorms, plants planted, bedding laundered, the whole nine yards. Kitties are quite pleased this morning. Do you offer cat safe plants to your cats? Ours absolutely love when we freshen their plants! Like they’re living in a jungle!

27 years ago today I said yes to the dress! Well, actually, I tossed away a potential career in fashion marketing and design/interiors, so I actually tossed that dress I guess and said yes to a job in vet med. Did not know at the time it would turn out to be a lifelong career!

Like Miss Ember here, took a chance. Haven’t plummeted off a limb yet! I guess it worked out! Worried about this choice and path for a very long time, if I hadn’t taken it, well, who knows where I’d be.
