How the Assisi Loop Helps Rascal With a Leg Injury and Arthritis

This is a sponsored post

Nine-year-old Rascal was adopted by Cerise and her husband Jim when he was two years old. He shares his home with 16-year Jinxy, 4-year-old siblings Gyoza and Gnocchi, four-year-old Ozzy and Missy, and 2-year-old Princess. All cats are rescues.

Rascal was extremely independent and somewhat untamed when he first joined the family. “We accepted and love him the way he was and is, and over the years gained his complete trust, love and loyalty,” said Cerise.

Cut Cooling Costs Without Sacrificing Your Indoor Cat’s Comfort

During the hot summer months, it goes without saying that you need to take precautions for your outdoor pets to protect them from heat stroke and other heat related problems, but even indoor cats require special attention, especially if you’re trying to save on cooling costs by turning the air conditioning up when you’re not at home.

TXU and the SPCA of Texas recommend that pet parents set thermostats no higher than  78-80 degrees, and advise against turning off the air conditioner altogether....

This post is sponsored by Care Credit

The joys of sharing life with a cat are limitless. Cats have an amazing ability to provide us with love, fun and play, while also bringing many important health benefits into our lives from relieving stress, preventing allergies, calming our nervous system and more.

The Health Benefits of a Raw Diet

This post is sponsored by Darwin’s Natural Pet Food*

Embraced for decades by holistically oriented pet parents and holistic veterinarians, raw feeding is becoming more and more mainstream as cat parents look for alternatives to feeding highly processed commercial pet foods. I’ve been feeding raw for the past ten years, and have seen my cats thrive on it. A raw diet can benefit your cat’s health overall, and it can also make a big difference with certain health conditions.

Cats are obligate car...

FIP and Beyond: Reporting from EveryCAT Health Foundation’s 2022 Symposium

Guest post by Ingrid R Niesman, MS PhD

Despite the intrusion from COVID-19, or perhaps because of the pandemic, more and more Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) infected cats are surviving and thriving in 2022. Just a few short years ago, all FIP positive cats died.

I attended the inaugural FIP symposium in November, 2019 sponsored by the Winn Feline Foundation, now EveryCAT Health Foundation. Honestly, at the time, I had no idea of the extent of this disease, the desperation of cat parents a...
