Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitty(ies) are doing well. Charlie is doing well and enjoys snow, so he can go out front and even into the street at midnight when there is no traffic. This is a special treat he is afforded only when it snows quite a bit. It's usually 1-2x a season. He knows it is going to happen too, and starts meowing at the door when he knows I am going out to shovel the snow. Blows my mind that he will be 17 this year and still wants to go out in that mess. Tell me about your...

Hi Reader, In my nearly two decades of running Floppycats, one truth has become undeniable: moisture is the key to feline longevity. I truly believe that 60% of common cat health problems would vanish if we prioritized moisture-rich meals over the convenience of dry food. We have to remember that kibble is designed to be addictive; Charlie would choose it every time if I let him, despite how dehydrating it is for his system. My mission for this community is simple: No more dry food. With that...

Hi Reader, Do you know about the Chewy deal? I love these deals and take advantage of them whenever they're available. They used to be monthly, but now they are not as frequent. Free $30 eGift Card with $100 purchase with code NEWYEAR. And what's cool is that you can do the deal 3x every time - they vary, though, when it's available. Unfortunately, they don't let you order $300 and get $90 in gift cards; you have to place three separate orders, each slightly over $100. I do three different...

Hi Reader, How are you and your kitties doing? I recently received a heart-touching email from Mimi at Love and Whiskers Cat Sanctuary in Ontario. She shared a powerful story about navigating a flea infestation with 30 rescue cats while avoiding toxic medications—and the incredible success she achieved with a holistic approach. In Mimi’s words: "This past summer I had an unfortunate flea infestation in my sanctuary. 30 cats were affected. I was so desperate. On your channel, you have a video...

Hi Reader, Merry Christmas Eve to those of you who celebrate Christmas! In 1989, my siblings and I were gifted Rags as a Christmas present, along with his half-brother, Cosby. Cosby died at 10 months old of FIP, but Rags lived for 19.5 years and was the reason I started Floppycats back in 2008. Rags came to me in a dream the other night, which was weird to experience after so many years - he has been gone for 17 years in March. Christmas was my favorite as a child, and Rags had a large part...
