Hi Reader, Charlie and I went to the lake last weekend. It was nice to get away (I don't do that much these days), and get a swim in before summer ended. I used to go a lot more with my cats, but since Charlie became super sensitive to fragrances, I have wanted to keep him in my home environment, which is much more controlled. My mom did mention that he was doing well. He is - and he doesn't respond as crazily as he did three years ago to fragrances, but it is still a process to manage with...

Hi Reader, Hope your August is off to a good start. I started coaching high school field hockey again this week, and it feels great to be back on the field. Charlie is doing well, and we have really enjoyed our summer, flea-free, thanks to the animal communicator. If you missed my video where I explained this, it turns out that our ongoing flea problem was caused by a flea-bag opossum that was living in my tree and repopulating the yard every night. I never knew life could be so grand without...

Hi Reader, I have been sending these emails out monthly because readers love the reminder. I love these deals and take advantage of them whenever they come out. They used to be monthly, but now they are not as frequent. Do you know about the Chewy deal? Free $30 eGift Card with $100 purchase with code STOCKUP. 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...

Hi Reader, The newsletter is a little late this week on purpose, as today, August 8th, is International Cat Day! And it is also my cat Rags' birthday. Rags is the inspiration behind this entire website. Rags, born on 8/8/89, was one of the greatest loves of my life. His face is the one you often see in our profile images, and his memory is a core part of what I do here. My love for him not only inspired the creation of this website but also influenced some of its unique details, such as the...

Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitties are doing very well. Today, July 23rd, is Charlie's 16th Birthday! We will go outside today and do whatever else he is interested in doing - which is mostly sleeping, eating cheats (treats), or going back outside. That pretty much sums up his day. He is doing well, and I am working with a homeopath in the UK to address his kidney issues now, after we successfully treated the liver flukes that were affecting his digestion. Homeopathy is a remarkable...

Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitties are doing very well. I am amazed that it's already halfway through July - as a kid, that meant it was time for summer camp, and it just doesn't seem possible. On Monday, a gal who does sound baths for cats came by and performed a sound bath on Charlie - a video will be available in a few weeks. It was a really neat and relaxing experience. I am excited to share it with you. She noticed pretty quickly that Charlie is "feisty" and thought that was cool...

Hi Reader, Well, it's July, which means there are plenty of deals to be had ("Christmas in July" is usually the theme). Amazon Prime Day Sale is on July 8th–11th. Some deals to be had on quality products: Clearly Filtered: 20% off Pitchers + Water Bottles - I'm reviewing this and love it for clean drinking water. My water heater recently stopped working, and the plumber told me, "I never drink tap water." And I said, "How come?" He replied, "Are you kidding me? With all the crap in tap water?...
