Freezing in KC + Homeopathy for Cats & Izzy the Floppycat of the Week 😻


Hi Reader,

It's pretty cold in Kansas City right now (15F or -9.4C) - as I type this, I feel how cold my toes are. I hope you're staying warm wherever you are.

I started working with a homeopath out of the UK for Charlie - I have always felt there is something we are missing. And I believe strongly that Trigg's parting gift was for me to look more into homeopathy for cats - that's why you have seen all those recent interviews about it. A friend of mine that I met through the Feline Hyperesthesia Group on Facebook told me about the homeopath we are using. She has seen a lot of success with her cat with it. Homeopathy is a strange one to wrap your mind around if you are used to more conventional healing methods. I spent an hour on a Zoom call with the homeopath, which was an opportunity for him to learn more about Charlie and ask a bazillion questions. Based on those answers and his analysis, he recommended a remedy to start with - and I gave it to Charlie two times a day for 3 days, and then I am to observe him for a month. The dosing just ended on Saturday, so we are only a few days into the observation period, and I am grateful to be doing this in winter.

Homeopathy has really helped acutely with Charlie, so I am hoping homeopathy will help Charlie chronically as well. Adored Beast has a lot of information on their website about homeopathy for cats, or you can listen to my interviews too if you're interested in learning more:

Hi Reader, May-July 2022, I reviewed the Air Doctor 5000 when we went through a bathroom renovation of my original 1940s bathroom. It was taken back to the studs, so there was a lot of dust, debris, and more. I was greatly concerned for Charlie and Trigg's health during that renovation, and I wanted an air purifier to minimize the airborne toxins they were exposed to. A friend I had met through Floppycats told me about them originally - telling me that they helped with mold exposure and more....
