Welcome to Sweater Talk with me, Lolo, your feline guide to all things important.

My human crew thought that it was witty to bundle me in a reindeer sweater on this frosty Friday, because they wanted me to have a red nose to match their frozen schnozzles. While their attempts at humor were lost on me, it did inspire today’s topic: Frostbite.

Here’s the science: Frostbite occurs when prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures causes blood vessel and cellular damage. The peripheral extremities and lesser haired areas are most affected, including the ears, eyelids, nose, toes, feet, limbs, sc***um and tail. All degrees of frostbite are painful, and in severe cases, your pet can slough their skin, have a piece of their body die off, get severe secondary infections, and possibly die.

Here’s the reality: We live in a cold place. Cats should never be outside in the winter. Dogs should be inside unless going out to use the washroom or for a supervised stroll with their owner on a moderate winter day.

The definition of moderate is different for every breed, because some of my canine pals are more equipped than others to handle the chills. Some dogs like Yorkshire terriers and Greyhounds need to be dressed in head-to-toe snow gear to even consider going outside, because of their barely-there hair. Whereas, Alaskan Malamutes relish the snowdrifts, because they have so much hair that they hangout in air-conditioned buildings in the summer.

Here’s the key: Humans need to use common sense. The smaller the size and the thinner the hair coat, the less cold tolerant a pet will be. If common sense is failing you, call someone smarter than you to get advice, because your pets are trusting you to keep them safe.

My humans make questionable fashion choices for me (and sometimes themselves), but I know they’re always here for me….and I’m sure your pets feel the same way about you, too.

Meow for now.

Welcome to Wednesday week two of Sweater Talk.

I realize this is a late entry, but I have been napping all day in preparation of some late night television watching that relates to today’s topic: Sports.

Yes, I am a sports enthusiast. Every time I chase my toy mouse, I hone my speed propelled reflexes, and I know that I would be the Hellebuyck of the cat world…if we ever had thumbs and the ability to organize ourselves. Some silly humans overlook our mighty Prairie metropolis, and they do not consider how much passion there is for our teams. The Jets bring the “True North” spirit to us.

The Bombers put the “W” in Winnipeg. Plus in the summer months, the Goldeyes, Valour FC and the Sea Bears carry on the competitive nature of our capital.
Yes, this cat knows a fun thing when she sees it, and I know my fellow four-leggeds feel the same way. A trio of sports fans came in wearing their gear (thankfully they have reliable humans), and they posed for us. So I say, embrace the power of the sweater and support your favourite team….plus, it keeps you extra snuggly while you’re cheering them on.

Humans, please send me some fabulous photos of your adoring pets wearing their sports gear. Keep warm and “Go Winnipeg”! Meow for now.

Welcome back to week two of Sweater Talk, the Monday edition. Today, I am tackling: The List

Naughty or Nice - such arbitrary categories with names assigned based on the discretionary powers of an odd little character in a tacky red velour-like suit. (Okay, so maybe that comment might be why St. Nick is a bit displeased with me). So, I shall make my case for avoiding the coal.

Yes, I have chewed the corners of large, expensive bags of dog food. However, humans leaving them at my level are the real culprits. They forget that my panther-like survival instincts naturally arise when I feel a bit peckish. As for the subsequent vomiting from eating nonhyperallergenic food…well, my delicate gastrointestinal tract shouldn’t be penalized…and it isn’t ALWAYS on someone’s chair. Lastly, my small swipes at people walking by me are misconstrued as naughty. I am merely reaching out for a hug…my nails just get in the way.

Clearly, the old elf needs to reward me this year. Plus, I’m a guard cat at the clinic. I’m adorable. I’m Lolo….like the Cher of the feline world: aging well, saucy, and a diva icon. Meow for now!

It’s fun Friday at Sweater Talk! 🐱

Whatever the holiday celebration, it brings traditions with one of the biggest ones being: Food.

It might be your Bubbe’s potato latkes for Hanukkah, the black-eyed peas and collared greens for your sixth night Kwanzaa Feast, or Auntie Zelma’s Christmas fruit cake. Whatever the event, humans snack their way through the fun. So, I’ve pulled my research team together (because I’m Lolo and I have people), and I offer up two recipes for you to make and share with the dogs and cats in your lives. But, some of you may have delightful creatures, like myself, that have sensitive constitutions when they eat things other than their usual food. For those furry souls, spoil them with their favourite safe foods…that’s what my crew have been instructed to do.

Bake up a storm, store them safely, and let them enjoy the holidays with you!
Stay Warm. Meow for Now.

For the Thursday installment of Sweater Talk, I’m feeling a little introspective. Sometimes, the quiet on a winter evening provides a few moments to breathe deeply and mull over today’s topic: Memories.
As a clinic support cat, I’ve seen a lot of stuff….crazy dogs, crazier people, happy outcomes, and somber endings. Each experience creates a memory. We cats take the time to luxuriate and lounge thinking of memories about chasing our favourite toy mouse and snuggling our people. Dogs are known for sprawling on a couch while they dream of memories running and having fun. However, humans can be so busy dealing with stuff that they forget to sit and be like their cats and their dogs. Well, on chilly nights during the holiday season, it doesn’t matter what event you celebrate, you are reminded of wonderful times spent with family, friends, and furries, and of people and of pets with whom you shared a final hug and goodbye.
Most memories make people smile, cats purr and dogs wag their tails. Some humans cry at the thought of never seeing some of their loved ones again. So, take a moment and be sad, but then be like your pets. We know that Winnie the Pooh was right when he said, “We didn’t know that we were making memories. We just knew that we were having fun.” Remember all of the fun memories you made with your loved ones, including the special cuddle times. Those will help you enjoy your snow blanketed holiday moments. Keep Warm. Meow for Now.

Welcome to our Wednesday edition of Sweater Talk. Based on the recommendations of one of our faithful clients, I’m tackling a slightly controversial topic: Trees.
Why is this a hot button issue, you ask? It is the battle between real versus fake. I think that dogs love the evergreen essence of a real tree, and that it gives them flashbacks of their adventures outside. Or, maybe drinking the grungy water in the tree stand is triggering some malfunction of their little neurons. As cats, our noses are tickled by a pleasant bouquet, but we have a greater appreciation for the softness of the greenery on a faux pine as we climb the branches. It beats getting poked by needles (trust me, I live at a vet clinic).
Environmentally, real trees are better to fight climate change, renew our forests, and provide habitat for wildlife…like the sparrows I enjoy watching outside our window. However, if you keep using your same fake tree for more than 25 years and it will be more eco-friendly. Plus, by the end, it’s more likely to be a “Charlie Brown” tree, and it’s always good to have a little Snoopy adjacent décor in your home. I really dig a dog that hangs around with a bird.
Embrace your choice whatever it may be, and remember humans are all weird….you sit around a dead tree and eat candy out of socks. Stay warm! Meow for Now!

Here at Sweater Talk, I tackle the seasonal topics with a twist, and today’s topic is no different.

Boxes.

They excite everyone, whether you walk on two or four legs. Who hasn’t gnawed on the corner of a wrapped box in anticipation? I know most bipeds shake their boxes, but when the Amazon delivery person appears, some humans get a little feline.

The contents of a box can be thrilling if they contain a deluxe scratching post or a new sofa with plushy cushions to cuddle next to your human. However, I believe the box is the thing. A box can be a veritable Fortress of Solitude to your purring friend. It can be made into a creative cave for your canine chums to hide their favorite toys. And, every parent and pet alike enjoys the delivery of an appliance in a lovely oversized box with which a toddling human could be distracted.

So think outside of the box this year, and practice your recycling by giving a box to a fantastic fur creature in your home. They will snuggle you for it.

Meow for now!

Welcome to our Third Annual Sweater Talk with Lolo!

I’m a year wiser, a year more fabulous, and a year more annoyed with Mother Nature’s winter gusts. Luckily, my stenographer trekked through the drifts, and my opining on winter festivities shall commence.

Snow. The topic seems timely while many humans are digging out from 20cm of snowflakes or what some refer to as ‘kisses from heaven’. Well, I tend to lean more toward the quote by Carl Reiner which is, ‘A lot of people like snow. I find it an unnecessary freezing of water.’

Every time small humans sing the lyrics to Let It Snow, I wonder if Khione, the Greek Goddess of snow, and Ullr, the Norse God of snow, are taking it all too seriously. As a cat, I have often wondered what it would be like to make a snow angel, but my sweaters are too special to roll around on the ground. I’ll leave that kind of messiness to dogs and those wearing snow suits.

Keep Warm! Meow for Now!
