Summer Reading Suggestions for Cat Lovers

This post contains affiliate links*

One of my greatest summer pleasures is spending time outside with a good book. Whether it’s on my deck, in a sidewalk cafe, or a park, there’s just something about reading outdoors that makes one of my favorite pastimes even more special.

Even though book sales have soared during the pandemic, there’s been a notable absence of new cat books. I typically get dozens of pitches to review new books throughout the year. So far, I’ve only gotten a handful, and of ...

Remembering Ruby: That Time When Ruby Shared the Top Ten Things About Herself

Some days, even almost two years later, I still miss my little girl so much, it feels like she just left me yesterday. I’m grateful I have eight years of Ruby’s Reflections on this site to comfort me and remind me of some of the cute things she did when the pain hits.

We don’t realize how quickly we can forget the small, everyday things after we lose a loved one. It’s one of the many reasons why I encourage people to journal after they lose a cat and write down as many memories as they can. Ca...

When it comes to shoes, I’m all about comfort. I don’t have the patience to break in shoes – if they don’t feel comfortable right out of the box, I’m not interested. The Sechers brand is known for comfort, and this super adorable cat pattern makes these a must have for cat lovers.

They feature a memory foam cushioned insole, a laced front with metal eyelets, an elastic scrunch-back design for easy on and off, and a hidden internal elastic panel for that purr...

Why Hydration is Critical to Your Cat’s Optimal Health

Water is critical to keeping your cat healthy. Cats as a species don’t have a high thirst drive, and this can lead to chronic low-level dehydration if a cat is fed mostly dry food, which in turn, can lead to urinary tract and kidney problems. Proper hydration can help prevent urinary tract disease and promote healthy kidney function by flushing toxins.

The importance of proper hydration

A properly hydrated body will have an optimal balance of electrolytes, minerals and fluids. Water affects ev...

Mews and Nips: Kitten Travels 40 Miles Under the Hood of a Car

A two-month-old kitten in Susses in the  UK used up one of its nine lives when he traveled almost 40 miles in the engine of a car. The car’s driver was on the road for  more than an hour when she heard meowing. She immediately pulled over and stopped. When she lifted the hood, she saw the tiny kitten trapped inside. Firefighters were able to free the kitten, who is now being cared for at a veterinary clinic. For more about this lucky rescue, visit Metro.UK.
