Benefits of Coconut Oil for Cats
Coconut oil has been big in human nutrition for quite some time. Widely marketed as a superfood, the unique combination of fatty acids in coconut oil may have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties and boost the immune system.

Fatty acids and cats
Cats only need to obtain two essential fatty acids from their diet: linoleic acid (LA) and arachadonic acid (AA), both of which can be found in meat. T...

This post contains affiliate links*
The 4th of July is probably a cat’s least favorite holiday. I know it is at our house. Even Ruby, who was not afraid of thunderstorms, became unsettled when fireworks started going off in our neighborhood. Allegra used to be terrified during fireworks. Thankfully, the last few years, she’s handled the noise better. What makes dealing with fireworks so challenging is that the noise usually begins a few days before the holiday, extending the stress for cats be...

Sunday Quotes: Tired
If you’ve been feeling really tired lately, you’re not alone. From the start of the pandemic, I’ve felt almost constant exhaustion. It takes so much energy just to get through the day, never mind getting any meaningful work done. I wasn’t able to find the source for today’s quote, but it accurately describes how I feel some days.
Pandemic fatigue is a thing, and it manifests in two different ways. For some, it has resulted in relaxing their guard and easing up on taking precautions. For others...

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! I want to tell you about a new game Mom has been playing with me! She plays it with me on laundry days, but I hope that she’ll see that since I have so much fun with it, we can play it on other days, too.
I love laundry days! On those days, Mom brings a big basket full of clothes and sheets and towels and stuff upstairs and dumps all of it on the bed. I’m always ready to be super helpful, and make sure that I sit right on top of th...
