Please help me welcome 13 week old "Oscar" to The mobile vet nurse family! 😍
I met him for his first petticure today and will be keeping in regular contact as he grows x
His pet loves - grabbing slippers, climbing furniture and running up the curtains! 😹👌
Oh my heart! 🥰 He's so teeny 🩷

A massive transformation for beautiful Meisha today. She weighs just under 3kg and is the sweetest little lady ⚖️
How on earth can she have all this fur removed, yet still have so much left on her!? 🤔 🩷 😂

Most people know the tragic story of the Titanic, but few have heard about Jenny — the ship’s resident cat, and possibly the only soul on board who sensed what was coming.

Jenny wasn’t just any cat. She was the Titanic’s official mouser, brought aboard to keep the rodent population in check. During the ship’s sea trials, she gave birth to a litter of kittens, and was lovingly cared for by a shipworker named Jim Mulholland.

Jim made a cozy nest for her and her babies near the ship's galley, close to the warmth of the boilers. He even shared kitchen scraps with her during breaks, and their quiet little routine brought him a sense of peace amidst the chaos of preparing the most luxurious ship in history for its maiden voyage.

But something strange happened.

Just days before the Titanic was set to depart from Southampton to New York, Jenny’s behavior changed. She began acting restless. And then — without warning — she started picking up her kittens one by one, gripping them gently by the scruff of the neck... and carrying them off the ship.

Down the gangway she went. Again and again. Until all of her babies were safely ashore.

Jim stood and watched her. And in that moment, something clicked.
"This cat knows something… something we don’t."

Trusting his gut — or maybe trusting hers — Jim packed up his belongings and quietly left the ship. He never boarded again.

The Titanic set sail without him.

We all know what happened next.

Years later, Jim, now an old man, shared the story with a journalist. He credited Jenny with saving his life. Her instincts — ancient, silent, and unshakable — may have been the only real warning that ever came.

Sometimes, heroes don’t wear uniforms.
Sometimes, they have fur, whiskers, and a heart that just knows.

This is "Cat" 😸
He started our appointment by hiding behind the couch, but knows, once his petticure is done, it's treat time! 😁
Isn't he delish! 😍
Have you got an original name for your pet?

Another fabulous visit with "Alfie" this morning and always in true Gentleman fashion, he walks me back to my car 🤗
(Ps: massive win for 16 year old Alfies family - he in on arthritic medication now and after slowly losing weight over the past year, today, he is up 100 grams! ) 🙌🎉

Today is Easter Monday 🐰🐣
I had every excuse to give myself a "well deserved" break and I came the closest this year to having one!
I got to the gym in the rain - the car park was full. There was the sign! Go home?
I found a park in the middle of a puddle and went in.
The class was designed to do 45 second sets x 4 rounds of burpees, ball slams, skaters and more burpees. My hardest class to date! 🤮
That was the first round of 4 different regimes. In between we did the ski urg, rowing machine, treadmill and assault bike!
I came the closet to puking I ever have BUT.......
I was the proudest of myself for my mental strength today.
I am not a poster child for exercise by an means. I can't say I love it, but I've learnt, my mental health benefits from the energy so much more!
I hope this encourages just one person to dig a little deeper.
You are so much more powerful than you know 🤗
Loves Chrissy x

Welcome to Odins world! 🩷
At 14 years old, he is doing really well for a Mainecoon, but arthritis has set in and he has slowed down a lot.
This photograph shows a few gems that make his world a little easier.

Arthritis is very common in older cats and studies show that around 80% to 90% of cats over 10 years old have some form of arthritis, often osteoarthritis.

Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the cartilage in the joints breaks down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Like humans, cats experience joint wear and tear over time, leading to arthritis as they age.
Changes in behavior, such as reluctance to jump, difficulty grooming, or changes in litter box habits can be signs of arthritis.
While it can't be cured, it can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and supportive care to help cats maintain a good quality of life.
Owners can help by making changes at home to accommodate their cat's needs, such as providing ramps, soft beds, and easily accessible food and litter boxes.

The support foods and joint supplements have been prescribed by Odins Vet and have changed his life.
Have a chat with your vet about what works best for your pet 🤗

* Royal Canin Mobility Support is formulated to aid in managing arthritis by supporting joint health and mobility. It contains ingredients like New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel extract and omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to help maintain healthy cartilage and reduce joint inflammation. Additionally, the moderate calorie content helps dogs maintain a healthy weight, which can reduce stress on their joints.

* The core component of 4Cyte is Epiitalis, a patented compound recognised for promoting healthy cartilage in joint cells. This ingredient plays a pivotal role in improving mobility and vitality in cats, making 4Cyte an essential supplement for joint health maintenance.

* Metacam® works by relieving pain and inflammation (swelling) associated with arthritis, certain types of injury and surgical pain.

* Cat malt paste helps with hairballs by aiding in their passage through the digestive tract. They contain ingredients like malt extract, oils, and fats that coat the swallowed hair, preventing it from forming into a hairball and promoting its natural expulsion through the faeces.

I posted back in January that at my old age and stage, I wanted to be fitter and stronger this year 🏋‍♀️
I promised myself I would get up Monday, Wednesday, Friday mornings and do the 6.10am circuit classes along with continuing on with my pump and Zumba classes.
To date I haven't missed a class!
I have turned up -
* tired
* sore
* feeling a little stronger
* full of self doubt
* overwhelmed
* happy
* anxious
* sore again
* full of excuses
But - I've turned up and mentally couldn't be more proud of myself!
My secret -
have my exercise gear laid out ready, my gym bag prepped and my alarm set for the very last minute, so I'm into my gear and out the door before I even wake up!
Once you get through the gym door - the battle is won!
I've managed to "put on weight" which is obviously muscle, but still mentally challenging so no more weight ins! 🙅‍♀️
I feel stronger, firmer and mentally fantastic knowing my body can handle it all! We are stronger than we believe.
Hoping your health journey is going well too 🩷
You just have to start.
It's never too late 🤗
