Hi Reader,

Hope you and your kitty are well.

Something happened this past weekend that took my breath away - I found Charlie sleeping in the sink upstairs, which is something that hasn't happened in about two years. To me, this was an excellent sign that he is feeling more like himself. I shared last week that I have been working with a homeopath in the UK with Charlie, and the last remedy he had (there have been several, including one that expelled liver flukes) helped to expel heavy metals. I never thought he would sleep in the sink again, but this followed after he ate full bowls of food over and over. I am even more in awe of holistic medicine and homeopathic medicine. When Western medicine has no further ideas, it's incredible how the body can heal if it's approached correctly and with logic. I appreciate all modalities and want to understand how to heal more effectively by identifying the root cause, rather than just suppressing the symptoms.

​Dr. Ruth Roberts, DVM: Kidney Disease in Cats 🐾🩺​

This was one of my all-time favorite interviews. I had the good pleasure of meeting Dr. Ruth a few weeks ago at her Whole Pet Conference, which she held in Overland Park, KS. Dr. Ruth is a remarkable woman doing remarkable things.

I have wanted to interview Dr. Ruth Roberts, DVM, for some time after watching several of her interviews. I was very excited to talk to her about kidney disease in cats since my Charlie was diagnosed with CKD.

You can find more about the things Dr. Ruth mentions, including her courses, on her website.

​Stainless Steel Litter Box with High Sides​

While searching for something else on Amazon over the weekend, I came across this high-sided stainless steel litter box. I think it's the coolest, but I have not reviewed it.

This is an extra-large, high-sided stainless steel litter box designed to be rust-resistant and non-stick, with 13.7" high sides to prevent litter from scattering. Its 20"L x 12.2"W x 13.7"H dimensions make it ideal for large cats or multi-cat households, and it features an open-top design, easy-lift handles, and sliding wheels for effortless cleaning and mobility. The one-piece construction ensures no leakage, while a curved low entry allows easy access for kittens and older cats.

​Willow – Ragdoll of the Week​

"How BLESSED are we to have loved a kitty so well that missing you hurts so much!...I fell in love with this soft ball of fur back in November of 2009 when we went to pick out a kitten from a Ragdoll breeder here in our home state. I always knew the Ragdoll breed was the one for me with those big blue eyes that melt your heart!"
