SEREN TURNS 20! and Celebrating Valentine’s Day

by | Feb 2, 2016 | Uncategorized | 10 comments

CatBirthday_49873051_originalExactly a year ago I wrote a post about how Karma-Kat arrived just in time to celebrate Seren’s birthday. So now the pair of them share a birthday and gotcha-day, and yesterday (well, it’s the date we chose anyway for her birthday…)

SEREN’S 20 YEARS OLD!

KarmaSerenCan I hear a MEE-WOW!

In fact, ever since the boy-kitty arrived, Seren’s turned back the clock and today is more active and engaged than when she was 16. She’s still my dainty princess…I can’t imagine life without her.

It seems appropriate to celebrate our special brand of love for Valentine’s Day, in honor of Seren and Karma, and all the kitties that make our lives complete.

ADVANCE NOTICE FOR THE NEXT

PAW-SOME CONTEST!

In honor of Seren’s inspiration over 2 decades, I gave away of FIFTY (50) E-COPIES my newest book CAT FACTS.

Seren and Karma inspired the CAT FACTS book, and I guess you could say that I spent my last 20 years with Seren by my side researching this book. Now it’s time to share the Valentine’s Day kitty love in honor of my cats…and yours…with CAT FACTS.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY ABOUT CAT FACTS

“It covers every medical and behavioral issue you can possibly think of in alphabetical order with symptoms, first aid, home care, holistic help (LOVE THIS FEATURE!!!), vet care and prevention…”

“This book is, by far, one of the most comprehensive books about cat health topics I have read…”

“The graphics are gorgeous. Very all-inclusive information. Owners, shelters and rescues need to have this book at the ready on their shelves.”

“…you will find over 200 entries culled from Shojai’s 25+ years of experience and her interviews with more than 400 veterinarians on all matters related to feline health and well being.”

THE CLOCK IS TICKING…

Be sure to enter before the contest closes at midnight February 14, 2016. The 50 winners will receive the Ebook, and EVERYONE who enters gets a $5-off discount code for the PRINT version.

How do YOU celebrate your cats’ birthdays and gotcha days? Karma’s playing “surfing cat” while I drag him around the carpet on a towel. Seren’s getting extra scritches and treats (Karma, too, of course).

But for me, that’s a birthday and Valentine’s that I get to celebrate all year long.

Celebrating Old Cats: What Is Old?

Every year, I write about our old cat needs. While Karma-Kat has just reached middle age, cats age at different rates. When do you consider your cat old? Is your old cat a senior kitty by age 8, or 13, or…when? For cats, what is old? Here’s how the experts define ‘old age’ in cats…

A Day In The Life…Of A Pet Writer

This morning as I stared into the face of my grinning Shadow-Pup and dodged his bruising tail flagellations, I envied him. And I envied my Karma-Kat and Trinity-Kittty who still hadn’t roused themselves from daily 16-plus-hour sleep marathons. I mean, I really had a moment of green-eyed angst that Shadow lives a dog’s life and the cats lives in a dream-world (literally!) while my husband and I bust our buttons keeping them in kibble. But is this a fair assessment? Just for fun, here’s a comparison.

What to Do About Symptoms of Cat Separation Anxiety

Yes, cat separation anxiety affects many felines. When school restarts, and the kids go back to class, your cats (and your dogs) may suffer from separation anxiety. The signs of distress are very different, though. I encourage you to read on to learn about tips for helping your furry family members adjust.

We very often hear about doggy angst during a beloved human’s absence, but what about cats? Yep, it’s exactly the same—only different. Here’s how.

Don’t Go! Dog Separation Anxiety & What to Do

WIth back to school this month, you may wonder how to deal with dog separation anxiety. Whether the adults change work schedules, kids have less time to play with Fido, or college and classes means routine goes out the window, dog separation behaviors cause stress for everyone. Will canine separation anxiety become a problem for your dog? After summer vacation with the kiddos, dogs left behind at home can mope and feel awful…and so can cats. Any kind of absence might result in canine separation anxiety. Here’s what you need to know.

Celebrating Old Dogs: What Is Old?

It’s National Pet Health Month! Each November, we celebrate old dogs during their “official” month. But when is your dog considered old? We love our senior citizen dogs for the special joy they bring every day. But once a year, we celebrate old dogs during November Adopt A Senior Pet Month.

What is considered “old?” There are individual differences between pets, just as there are for people. While one person may act, look and feel “old” at fifty-five, another fifty-five-year-old remains active with a youthful attitude and appearance. Aging is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, and health care over a lifetime. The oldest dog on record was an Australian Cattle Dog who lived for twenty-nine years and five months…

I’ve written about how to care for an elderly dog before, but this post addresses how to know when your canine friends become old dogs.

August 30 Is National Holistic Pet Day! But What Is Holistic Pet Care?

Have you ever considered holistic medicine for your pets? There are many questions about what is holistic pet care. Is it the same thing as what your regular vet offers? There are many names for offering traditional medicine for pets. Some call it alternative medicine or natural healing. But are there specific definitions, and is holistic pet care a good choice for your cats and dogs? August 30 is National Holistic Pet Day, so it’s a good time to revisit asking these questions.
