Wednesday came into my office looking a little sad this morning. What's wrong kiddo I asked? Mommy said I can't have anymore chocolate milk because I didn't finish eating my egg. (short pause) Why would she say something like that to me? 😂

If you can't make it in today because of snow, it's okay. I'm not charging any missed appointment fees. A text to let me know that you're not coming is still appreciated. If you are coming, please pull up to the 5-minute parking spot closest to the door. That way you step out onto the gravel and don't have to worry about slipping. Please don't park at the top and try to walk down. That's very slippery and dangerous.

Last day of letting oncology pharmacists bartend for me! Today is my final chemotherapy infusion. If I knew on day one how I would feel today I would have been incredibly relieved. There was some hard weeks but my side effects have been very minimal. Next steps are follow up CT’s later this month to assure my treatment has been effective and monitoring my lab results to see my immune system recover. Hoping to share an official re-opening date soon!

🐾 Holiday Safety Tips for Cats 🐾
The holiday season is full of joy, but it can also bring some hidden dangers for your feline friends. Keep your cat safe and stress-free with these tips:

🎄 Watch the Tree: Secure your Christmas tree to prevent it from tipping over if your curious cat decides to climb. Avoid tinsel—it’s tempting but dangerous if ingested.

🕯️ Candle Caution: Keep candles out of reach to avoid accidental burns or fires. Battery-operated candles are a safer alternative.

🍗 Skip the Scraps: Many holiday foods, like chocolate, onions, and bones, can be harmful to cats. Stick to their regular diet and keep table scraps off-limits.

🎁 Mind the Wrapping: Cats love ribbons and string, but these can be choking hazards or cause blockages if swallowed. Clean up wrapping supplies promptly.

🧼 Toxic Plants: Seasonal plants like poinsettias, mistletoe, and lilies can be toxic to cats. Choose pet-safe alternatives or place them well out of reach.

🎶 Keep It Calm: The hustle and bustle of guests and festivities can stress your cat. Provide a quiet, cozy space for them to retreat and relax.

Pro tip: Regular play and interaction can help reduce stress and keep your kitty entertained during the busy holiday season.

🐾 Cat Bathing Tips for a Calm & Clean Kitty 🐾

Bathing your cat doesn’t have to be stressful—for you or your feline friend! Here are some tips to make bath time smoother:

🛁 Start Slow: Let your cat get used to the sound of running water and the bathing area before starting.
💦 Use Lukewarm Water: Cats are sensitive to temperature, so keep the water warm but not hot.
🧴 Choose Cat-Safe Shampoo: Never use human shampoo—it can irritate their skin. Opt for a mild, pet-friendly formula.
🐾 Keep It Short: Wash gently and quickly, focusing on dirty areas. Avoid their face and ears.
🧼 Rinse Thoroughly: Leftover shampoo can cause itching—be sure to rinse all suds away.
🧡 Dry Carefully: Use a soft towel to gently pat your cat dry. Long-haired breeds may need a comb to prevent mats.

Pro tip: If bath time feels overwhelming, professional grooming services can help keep your cat fresh, clean, and stress-free. You’re not alone!

🐾✨ Cat Grooming Tips from Alex the Cat Groomer ✨🐾

Did you know regular grooming is just as important for cats as it is for dogs? While cats are great at self-grooming, they can still benefit from professional grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best!

Here are some reasons why professional grooming can help your feline friend:

🐱 Prevents Matting: Long-haired cats especially need help keeping their coats tangle-free.
🐱 Skin Health: Grooming can uncover skin issues like dryness or irritation early.
🐱 Nail Trims: Avoid overgrown nails that can cause discomfort or damage furniture.
🐱 Hygiene Maintenance: Especially helpful for older or overweight cats who may struggle to groom themselves.

Alex the Cat Groomer specializes in keeping your kitty calm, comfortable, and clean during every session. Schedule your cat’s grooming appointment today, and let me pamper your feline friend! 🐾❤️
