 | A year ago today, I posted that my (now) 10 year old cat, Joey, had been diagnosed as hyperthyroid. The initial plan was that we would give him Tapazole (methamiazol) pills, the standard treatment to start with for hyper-t cats. A lot has happened in the year since then. Have a great week with your BFF (Best Furry Friends), and I'll be back next week with much more. | |
Review: The Complete Cat's Meow
 When I purchased this book, I expected excellence, since I knew of Darlene's reputation as an author and as a pet expert, but what I found when I read it was superb writing. Darlene is not only a good writer, she's a darn nice person to boot, friendly, caring, and witty. Her book conveys her personality, so that readers don't feel as if they are being lectured to by an expert, but as if a friend is helping them learn more about taking care of cats.
The Complete Cat's Meow was the undisputed winner of the 2012 Readers' Choice Award for Books about Cat Care. Read my full review of this book.

| Cat Picture of the Week: Maggie
 Maggie is such a beautiful girl - she looks very much like a Maine Coon cat. Maggie looks older than her years (10) because she had to have all her teeth extracted due to infected gums - an unfortunately common problem with older cats who lacked routine dental care. Kathy, who adopted her two years ago, was unaware of Maggie's health problems. Her veterinarian discovered her severe dental problems and the fact that she also suffers from CRF (chronic renal failure.) Although it took a short time for both of them to acclimate to the subcutaneous fluid treatments (Sub-Q) to help Maggie's kidneys, they are both fine with it now. Maggie is happy, healthy, and well-loved. Read more of her story, then share your own special needs cat.
