Hi Reader,

Hope you are doing well.

Happy April Fool's Day! Have you ever played an April Fool's prank? I have seen a few from manufacturers and have thought of doing one for Floppycats, but have never quite figured out what to do that wouldn't cause problems and lots of emails.

I finally finished the Kidney Chek video - so grateful to my Aunt, cousin, my sister, and my mom for helping me get all the pets done and filmed for this! It truly is one heck of a review with so many pets =).

No joke - this month's giveaway - Meow Mobile - is something you have never seen before, and I am sooo excited about it! We are also reviewing Meow Mobile! So you will be seeing more posts about it soon. It's such a neat idea and a no-brainer for a pet parent who has a cell phone.

If you have the time, I would love for you to take a look, comment, and share our recent Shorts:

• ​Diarrhea? How to Balance Your Cat's Gut Microbiome​
• ​Say Goodbye to the "Stink Puff" Forever​
• ​Is Litter Zero Worth the Hype? (20-Year Perspective)​

Peace, love, and purrs,

​Giardia in Cats: A Complete Pet Owner’s Guide to Giardiasis​

Giardia is a highly contagious microscopic parasite that causes foul-smelling diarrhea and weight loss in cats, often transmitted through contaminated water or feces. Because these parasites are resilient and shed inconsistently, a specific veterinary fecal test is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Successfully clearing the infection requires a combination of prescription medication and rigorous cleaning of the home to prevent the common cycle of reinfection. Additionally, regular bathing is recommended during treatment to remove any parasitic cysts that may be trapped in your cat's fur.

​Carlson Extra Tall Pet Gate, with small pet door​

The Carlson Extra Tall Pet Gate offers a practical solution for multi-pet households, featuring a convenient walk-through design and a dedicated small pet door that allows cats to move freely while containing larger dogs or keeping babies or toddlers out of litter boxes and/or pet food.

Years ago, real-world experience shows how effective this is; while a German Shepherd puppy like Parker might squeeze through the small door initially, he eventually outgrows it, leaving the "magic" of the gate to provide a private space for cats like Caymus. It is a versatile choice for managing boundaries in the home, though users should note that the small pet door remains attached even when not in use.

​Sawyer – Ragdoll Kitten of the Month​

"I retired from my demanding job in Washington, D.C. at the end of 2020, and I knew I would need something to occupy my time. My dear Maine Coon-mix rescue Garrett had passed away at age 17 the previous Christmas, and I felt I was ready for a new cat in my life."
