Charlie's grounding mat, saving tens of thousands of bees & an exciting RAWZ giveaway 🐝


Hi Reader,

Charlie keeps seeking out grounding on his own accord. Here's what I love about Charlie's attraction to the grounding mat - he has no skin in the game. He didn't read some newsletter. He didn't see an ad on social media and wondered if it worked. He found the mat on my bed, got on it and realized it did something in his body. And he continues to return to it for a few hours a day to get the benefits. Meaning, it's not his mind telling him it is supposed to help with inflammation or calming you down, he just returns to it because it does this for him. I don't put him on it, and he literally only spends an hour or two on it a day and then he lays in all his regular places the rest of the time. This was on Monday night:

Minutes later, he stretched all out - showing me his body was releasing tension (and his eyes are wondering why I am hovering above him with a camera).

That's what is cool about these products that are for humans and/or pets - pets don't lie. Pets cannot lie. So he shows it works, even if I cannot always feel it.

You can grab a hooga Grounding Mat for you or yourself. You do need a grounding outlet tester, if you don't have one. Here's the outlet tester I bought.

​Saving Bees after Our Tree Limb Fell​

After the terrifying tree crash and bee swarm that Charlie and I survived, I wanted to share the incredible rescue mission that followed. This new video documents how Jesse, a local beekeeper, spent over three hours meticulously extracting the feral honeybee hive from the broken tree limb in my yard. You will get to see him carefully cut the honeycomb to fit into transport boxes and use a custom-made vacuum to gently collect the remaining bees out of the wood's crevices. He successfully moved tens of thousands of bees to his property, ultimately migrating them to a safe new hive. It was a beautiful experience to witness, and my suggestion is to check out the video if you want to see exactly how humane bee removal works!

From mitted to lynx and bicolor, these gorgeous felines come in a wide variety of unique patterns that make each cat completely one-of-a-kind. Surprisingly, every blue Ragdoll is born entirely white before their beautiful, cool-toned markings naturally develop as they grow.

​Jett Drake - Ragdoll Kitten of the Month​

"After a month and a half of researching the Ragdoll breed and joining nearly every Ragdoll kitten group on Facebook, I found Floppycats.com and read the two articles named Ragdoll Cat Breeders: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and Cat Scams: Breeder + Kitten Website Scams. These two articles were such a revelation and enlightened me to the significant threat surrounding the purchase of a Ragdoll kitten, and I quickly realized I had come across many of these website scams and fraudulent breeders. With this newfound knowledge, I changed my approach and started researching reputable TICA and CFA Ragdoll Breeders only. Thank you, Jenny, and Floppycats for having this information available for novice buyers like me!"

Hi Reader, Hope you are well and your kitties are too. It is with a heavy heart that I share some sad family news. On Saturday, September 19th, my cousin Jill said goodbye to her beautiful 18-year-old seal colorpoint Ragdoll, Harlow. 💔 Jill brought Harlow home from Angelkissed Ragdolls in Minnesota back in June 2008. Born on April 24, 2008, she was the full sister to Maddie and the half-sister to Hobbs. Jill shared this beautiful tribute that perfectly captures how special she was: "Harlow...

Hi Reader, Hope you are well and your kitties are too. Yesterday, I went over to my cousin's house to get some footage of her seal point Ragdoll kitten, Bo, eating RAWZ Sardines and Pumpkin. When he was younger and my cousin was out of town, I fed some to him and he went NUTS. And I wish I had recorded it. Then RAWZ accidentally sent me some cans of RAWZ Sardines and Pumpkin for a giveaway - and so I thought I would get footage of him eating it as a thank you for the food. So I went over...

Hi Reader, I love September. It is my very favorite month of the year - however, our September in Kansas City this year has been more like the first part of August. I mentioned in my last newsletter that I coach high school field hockey in the fall. We travelled to St. Louis last weekend and man, if you add a hot artificial turf to very hot, it's something else. Like my cat, I typically love the heat, but I was pretty delirious in that heat. It was 101°F (38.33°C) - but artificial turf acts...
