Hi Reader,

Hope December is treating you well.

Charlie recently had diarrhea for 2.5 days. I was getting desperate (he usually never has diarrhea, or it's resolved in half a day with pumpkin), and I didn't want to take him to the vet for antibiotics (very disruptive to his microbiome).

I finally remembered to visit Adored Beast's Blog and search for "diarrhea." There, I got the recipe I needed to resolve it. Adored Beast's blog is an excellent resource for things like that, especially regarding homeopathy for cats. Diarrhea is done - he didn't go for a day, and then the next day, it was solid again. Yahoo!

We have two giveaways this month; the newest one is included below.

I went to Bluedreamer on Monday this week (I had a conflict for Wednesday, so went earlier in the week and also went Friday of last week):

​Holiday Alert: Watch Out For Plants Poisonous to Your Cat​

With the ever-present excitement of the upcoming holidays, it’s easy to forget that this time of the year can be dangerous for cats. This is because some of the plants used for holiday decorations are poisonous to felines. This is why we need to be particularly careful when selecting flowers and the like.

What follows is a list of plants you should not keep around your house if you own cats.

​Be Forever Furless Brush by Lilly Brush​

I cannot say enough good things about this brush. I have two and use them daily. I was at my sister's - where there is more cat hair (two cats and more active than mine), so I asked her where her Lilly Brush was. She went and got it, and as I began to use it for video footage, she said, "I forgot how great that thing is." It really is - especially if you have a cat rest area (where they sleep) filled with cat hair - it's so much easier to use this and then vacuum than trying to vacuum and remove the hair.

​Gracie - Ragdoll of the Week​

"Gracie was adopted in 2018 and is my first rescue cat. I adopted her from a Brisbane rescue called Best Friends Felines not long after my 14-year-old Birman cat, Hokey Pokey, passed away. Gracie is incredibly vocal, especially in the middle of the night when she has run out of Royal Canin dry food. She will meow for what feels like hours on end if there’s none of it left in her bowl. She is also very affectionate, particular, and inquisitive."
