Hi Reader,

Hope you and your kitties are doing well.

Increasingly, I receive emails from readers about problems with their cats that their traditionally trained veterinarians are unable to resolve. Increasingly, I am reminded of the importance of being aware and utilizing alternative healers, methods, and modalities.

I have had great success, and so have many readers using Pam of Purrrfectly Holistic. She will help you find the root cause of the problem and get to the bottom of it, eliminating the problem, even something as simple as recurring chin acne.

My experience with Charlie's kidney disease has been so entirely different and rewarding compared to the five kidney cats before him. I feel so much more confident, capable, and hopeful. It is a really lovely feeling.

A Floppycats' reader wrote me this last week: "I wanted to remind you of one of the best grooming tools available, most folks have ready to use: our hands! Kitties (usually) love to have ears skritched, chins rubbed/itched, tail stroked, and all over petted and loved on."

And I replied: "Very true - and one thing, I think people forget is that our hands should be clean, free of fragrance, lotions, etc, when petting and rubbing them because that transfers and then they have to lick it off."

I thought it was important to acknowledge this, as many people forget this and pet their cats and dogs - a less significant concern for dogs, since they tend not to groom their entire bodies.

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

​Is Lemonade Cat Insurance the Purr-fect Fit for Your Feline Friend?​

Lemonade Cat Insurance is quickly gaining popularity, known for its innovative, tech-forward platform and distinctive features. Understanding your pet insurance options is crucial, regardless of your budget or level of experience.

While some people recommend saving money in an account instead of buying insurance, my own experience proves the immense value of coverage. For example, my sister's Ragdoll required emergency, life-saving surgery costing over $10,000, and her insurance reduced the out-of-pocket cost to only $1,000. This led me to insure my own cats, Charlie and Trigg, a decision that repeatedly paid off, including covering the majority of Trigg's final $8,500 in medical care. Lemonade is a highly discussed option, though currently unavailable in Kansas (where I live). It is available in over 40 states and D.C.

Do you currently insure your pets, and what factors influenced your decision?

​Windy and Mac – Floppycats of the Week​

"Late in Feb of 2014 I suddenly lost my beloved Ragdoll/Manx boy kitty, he was aggravating his older cat sister Joey the night before. He vomited a couple of times (as long hair cats tend to do) I could see he was feeling bad and planned to get up extra early to take him to the vet. But he was gone the next morning, and I didn’t know why ( he did have a habit of licking everything, bags, hands after hand cream, many things). I was heart broken, I had raised him from about 2 months old and he was my baby. I missed him terribly and my remaining cat had never been an only cat and was confused and stuck to me like glue."
