2021 AAFP Feline Senior Care Guidelines, Part 2: More Than Medicine

senior-cat

Guest post by Ingrid R. Niesman, MS PhD  

This is the second in a two-part series that takes a closer look at the 2021 AAFP Senior Cat Care Guidelines. Click here to read Part One: Caring For Aging Cats Begins at Home.

It is a fact of life that all cats and humans age; they just age at different rates. This discrepancy can leave cat parents with difficult choices when it comes to considering veterinary care for their senior companions.

A three-way partnership

Sunday Quotes: Give Your Best

super-bowl-cat

I couldn’t resist and had to make up a Super Bowl graphic for today. I haven’t paid attention to football in many years, but I will be watching at least part of the game with friends this evening. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all about the food and the commercials, even though we may be a little partial to the Bengals because, well, they’re cats.

If you’re rooting for one of the teams in today’s game, may your team win!

If you’ve read this blog for a while, you’ve heard me talk about 1TDC™ and about how much I love this supplement. I don’t use the term “miracle” lightly, but I am using it for this product. Allegra gets hers every single day. It considerably reduced her gingivitis and reduced the time between professional cleanings.

I previously featured these gorgeous bracelets, made from genuine gemstones. I love my tortie bracelet and wear it almost all the time. In fact, I love these braceltes so much that I included them in our 10 Best Cat Products of 2021.

Allegra and the Storage Bin

cat-in-storage-bin

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! I want to tell you about a cool new game Mom has been playing with me for the last couple of weeks. She calls it “organizing.” I don’t know what that means, but it’s so fun!

It always starts with her pulling a lot of stuff out of a closet, which is really awesome, because it means I can go into the closet and explore. Usually, the closet doors are closed.  Mom doesn’t like me going into her closets, which is no fun at all. She says it’s because I once bit stencil pat...

This post contains affiliate links*

The last time Allegra got excited about an electronic toy was almost nine years ago when I got the Cat’s Meow toy for Allegra and Ruby for Christmas. Since then, she just hasn’t show much interest in these types of toys, preferring interactive wand toys, puzzle toys, or small toys that can be tossed. I was curious to see  how she would react to PeFusion’s Ambush toy.
