Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitty are well. Something happened this past weekend that took my breath away - I found Charlie sleeping in the sink upstairs, which is something that hasn't happened in about two years. To me, this was an excellent sign that he is feeling more like himself. I shared last week that I have been working with a homeopath in the UK with Charlie, and the last remedy he had (there have been several, including one that expelled liver flukes) helped to expel heavy metals....

Hi Reader, Happy October! I love September and October, but mostly the beginning of October because September is still lingering. So, it's really September that I still love. Charlie has also been enjoying the weather - posted this photo on Monday of him. Charlie is doing well. We have continued to work with the homeopath in the UK, and it has been interesting to see the changes in Charlie since he started taking the remedies. I cannot tell you how much I WISH homeopathy were as well-known as...

Hi Reader, Last week, I asked you guys what you thought about posting GoFundMe links on Floppycats. Thank you to all who took the time to write to me and respond with feedback. After reflection and also your insights, I have decided that I will not post GoFundMes or similar on the site or in the newsletter, unless it is a very special circumstance. I have decided this because: They make Floppycats feel less like a community and more like a place to ask for money. Opening the door to a lot of...

Hi Reader, A reader wrote me this week asking for help for her cat, Charlie. He is in the ER, and they do not know exactly what the matter is with him. She has created a GoFundMe-type fundraiser for him; however, I traditionally don't allow posts asking for money on the Floppycats Facebook Group or Page. For a few reasons: I'm concerned that posting fundraisers might: Make Floppycats feel less like a community and more like a place to ask for money. This leads to a drop in the fun cat content...

Hi Reader, We’ve had some abnormally cooler weather here, so Charlie has been spending more time outside on his daily strolls around our fenced-in backyard. I’ve also had the window open for three days straight without allergy troubles from Charlie, even though the pollen has been at 8-9.5 out of 10 here. I genuinely believe that’s because of the homeopathic remedies he’s had, as well as working on his leaky gut for years. I’m so very grateful he’s not dealing with it anymore, and I can keep...

Hi Reader, Last weekend was a long weekend in the USA to celebrate Labor Day, and the high school field hockey team that I help coach had a tournament in St. Louis. So Charlie was home alone with the cat sitter. I have the cat sitter stop by a few times a day when I'm away, since Charlie mostly just sleeps, eats, and wants to go outside. That's about the extent of his day. He wouldn't come inside for the pet sitter - the little stinker. One thing I have noticed since Trigg's departure is that...

Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitties are doing well. It has been delightful in Kansas City this week - it reminds me of my favorite month of the year, September. September is phenomenal in Kansas City, with crisp, cool mornings, warm sun in the afternoon, and blue skies that rival those found in New Mexico all the time. I LOVE September and welcome it with open arms. I can tell Charlie also loves these days because he is spending more time outside. Our August giveaways are coming to a close,...

Hi Reader, One of the most fascinating things I've done with my cat, Charlie, is a bio-resonance scan test. This isn't a replacement for a vet or doctor; it's a complementary tool that provides a deeper look into the health of both you and your pet. It helps find imbalances in the body that can be the root cause of an ongoing issue or mystery illness. The company behind this, Pet Medella (and its sister company for humans, CBH Energetics), was founded by a woman who struggled with an...
