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 there yesterday to get that footage (you guys will see it at a later date), but I discovered that my cousin's blue Torbie mitted Ragdoll kitten, MacGyver, also loves it. It's rare to find a cat that doesn't love it. It's one of Charlie's very favorites.

Speaking of Charlie, he is doing well - we are navigating some of his fall allergies with supplements and homeopathy...and he is still going about 2-3 weeks between needing fluids for his kidneys. I am also still working on a parasite cleanse...which takes forever and goes in waves. I am really pleased with where he is at 17 after all he has been through. Mostly, it's just nice to see him sleeping comfortably and eating his food more than a kidney cat would.

​My other cousin's son got a bearded dragon for a pet and her Ragdolls met it. Do you have a reptile with your kitty? I wanna know!

​Can Cats Eat Sardines? Yes! How to Feed Cats Sardines​

Sardines aren't just a tasty treat for cats; they're packed with omega-3s and antioxidants that can significantly boost your feline's health. In this video, you'll discover exactly which canned sardines are safe to buy and how to perfectly prepare them to keep your cat properly hydrated. I also share a clever trick for using sardine juice to easily mask the taste of stubborn feline medications. Watch the full video to see the step-by-step preparation that will have your cat purring for more!

I am going to give sardines to my mom's dog as well. I am a BIG fan of sardines.

Charlie gets three sardines every Monday - I make a new "sardine water" for him every Monday for his supplements, so I have left over sardines...so he just gets them for a meal.

​Catstages Bowl Scratchers​

My cousin got one of these Catstages Bowl Scratchers for her kittens and they love it. I love the cute design on the outside and it reminds me of the beloved Necoichi one that so many readers' cats love.

This Catstages circular scratcher bed offers a perfect combination of playtime and relaxation for your feline friend. The core features a textured, corrugated cardboard surface designed to satisfy a cat’s natural scratching instincts and help them maintain healthy claws. Its high-sided, bowl-like shape provides a secure and cozy lounging spot that is perfect for curling up in—and it is clearly a hit with this fluffy Ragdoll kitten! The exterior is wrapped in a cheerful, multi-colored pattern of abstract teardrops and dots in bright shades of orange, blue, green, and purple, making it both a highly functional and playful addition to your home.

​Bruin – Ragdoll of the Week​

"We were contacted by the breeder of one of our other Ragdolls (Judy of Judysrags.com in CT) to watch Animal Planets too cute coming on TV soon as our Ragdoll’s mother was featured on this episode. We watched it and of course I go the “oh I want another kitten” syndrome. I contacted the breeder and she said she had a seal mitted male ready to go in May of 2012. She sent pictures and of course it was all over, we were going to get our little Bruin. Named, “Bruin” after our hockey team the Boston Bruins."
