What does a 16.5-year-old cat do all day?


Hi Reader,

Hope you are doing well.

Charlie has had the zoomies recently - and I finally caught it on film. I wish I could make a montage of all the times he does this - it's sometimes 4x when we are outside.

Peace, love, and purrs,

Jenny

Adored Beast Liver Tonic

Behold! One of my very favorite pet supplements. Adored Beast Liver Tonic is a 100% natural herbal supplement designed to detoxify and regenerate vital organs like the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. Featuring potent ingredients such as dandelion root and milk thistle, this formula helps remove toxins and reduce inflammation while supporting healthy bile secretion. I give it to Charlie every day during allergy season, as it is gentle but effective in helping him navigate those months while supporting his liver and kidneys in the process. This tonic is an excellent way to maintain a pet’s internal health and vitality without the use of parabens or gluten.

Hi Reader, Spring is in the air in Kansas City - I love the smells of Spring, and the colors are the best. Mark, one of the winners of the Litter Zero giveaway in January, sent in this photo saying: "We received our Litter Zero cat litter waste system last week and have been using it since.
