One thing that I have come across just by being in the pet industry and networking with a lot of people is there are some people who think cats are disposable.
Cats don’t get the same respect that dogs get. This is clear.
Cats are very much misunderstood in general.
Cats are not a consolation prize~”get a cat” if you can’t have a dog.
Cats are wonderful, amazing beings. And they were once worshiped. Cats deserve the same respect as dogs. True animal lovers can appreciate all the differences that a cat has to offer. If you cannot love a cat and commit for their lifetime, then please don’t get a cat.

It’s 4 AM. Feed me!
Cats have always fascinated me. They are phenomenal creatures.
I grew up with dogs first and then cats and I have to say my love for them is equal in its own way because they are such different creatures.
I can appreciate how strong and independent cats are, in fact I think that may be what I love most about them.
If they love you, it is an honor! ❤️

Cats are by nature, nocturnal. Meaning that they are usually awake at night especially cats in the wild and nighttime hours are when when they would be doing their best hunting.
So the collective we, who have taken in these little adorable kittens who grew up to be amazing cats and lo and behold they’re stepping on our face at 4 AM to be fed, because their natural instincts are calling them.
If they were out roaming around in the wild they would be hunting and eating at those times and then they would sleep all day.
Mind you- none of my cats have ever awakened me at 4 AM, but I hear it from some of my clients!
Whatever you do…Don’t get up and feed them at 4 AM. You will be setting a very bad precedent.
You can start the next night by giving them an extra meal before bed so that their bellies are satisfied and hopefully they won’t be on your pillow before your alarm goes off.
I also recommend giving them lots of extra playtime, mentally stimulating treat puzzles, and just a lot of attention and play during the day in general. This will help to tire them out so hopefully you won’t be awakened by kitty paws on you.
Remember to appreciate all the beauty and wildness that cats bring into our lives and find creative solutions for accommodating their truly wild nature.

Is your cat’s food… cat food??
As some of you may already know this, I think it is an important topic to discuss.
Many cat food manufacturers have a product in their lines which is meant as they say on the label for “supplemental feeding”. What does that mean?
That means that these small packages of appealing usually whole food in broth are missing the essential vitamins and mineral that cats need to survive.
These products are meant to be fed as a snack or a treat but not for a meal.
They are meant to supplement usual meals of canned/ dry cat food which has vitamins and minerals essential for your cat’s system.
I don’t object to the these items being on the market, but I do think that manufacturers need to do a better job of labeling and explaining why these are not to be fed as a stand alone diet for your cat.
If done, your cat can wind up with serious health issues.
There are specific vitamins which are found in animal products and which the cat food industry adds to your cat’s food which are necessary for normal system functions and cannot be missed. Taurine is one!
So please~ check to make sure you are feeding a wet cat food which is complete in nutrition for your cat. Just look at the label and there should be added vitamins listed.
If there isn’t and the front of the label it says “ for supplemental feeding”, “not a complete meal” then you know you bought a product which is meant to be fed in addition to your cat’s usual canned food, and not instead of.

Hi all, as you know I am a professional pet sitter and pet sitting business owner.
This week I had a reunion with and had the opportunity to care for a very special 14 year old dog who belongs to one of my clients whom I haven’t seen in years.
The client just moved to another home last month and the senior dog avoided coming into the new kitchen. I surmised it was because of the surface of the floor.
When it came time to feed him, I put his feeder on the rug in the entrance way (which was near the kitchen) where he had traction.
Does your senior dog have a hard time on your floors?
In their old age you can provide area rugs and runners on your hardwood or vinyl floors throughout the home in areas where they need to or want to walk.
And, definitely a low profile rug under their feeders so that they have secure footing while eating.
This is part of our responsibility to our canine companions when they age.
It may be a small inconvenience for pet owners, but for them, not having secure footing makes them feel insecure about walking on the floors.
They slip and slide and it increases whatever pain they already have.
It can also cause them to avoid walking on those floors when it is time to go out or get to their bowls to eat or drink.
Let them live out their lives in comfort and security. Show them you love them by doing the things which make their daily lives more comfortable.

I did not write this.
I don’t know who did.
It needs to be heard.

“Truly happy people don't tear others down. They're too busy being present in their own joy to resent someone else's light. They know that real joy expands.
Secure people don't see others as competition. They don't compare, they celebrate. They know that someone else's success doesn't threaten their own worth.

Peaceful people don't need to prove anything. They spread calm, not chaos.
They walk in softness, not ego. They ground rooms, not shake them.
Confident people don't use their voice to criticise. They use it to uplift, to encourage, to empower. Because real confidence doesn't need to be loud it just needs to be kind.

So the next time someone tries to dim your light... Don't shrink, don't doubt, don't turn yourself down to make them comfortable. Remember, darkness speaks about the critic, not the criticised.”
