Happy Easter weekend to everyone this fine Caturday!
I hope you have some spring fun planned this weekend. I will be headed to visit out-of-town family today and will celebrate with my in-town family on Sunday. Safe travels to anyone going out of town. My kitties are going to have to self-entertain today. Wonder what the house will look like when I get back!
Fun Cat Purchase of the Week

The Catnip Life Newsletter June 9, 2023 - Awesome Cat Water Fountain on Amazon! Misty helping herself to my water glass It can never be overemphasized how important it is that your cats take in a lot of water to help keep their kidneys healthy. They tend to not drink enough on their own, so encouraging higher intake any way you can is a good habit to get into. Some cats love drinking from a running faucet, and other cats like my Misty like to drink from their human's cup with their paws. Of...
The Catnip Life Newsletter June 3, 2023 - The Vet Visit Edition Lucky, post-recovery from a scary vet visit. Lucky, the feral kitten I found in my yard last fall, had a date with the vet for his neuter surgery a couple of weeks ago. It did not go well. Poor guy was terrified. His feral nature re-emerged when his mum had to leave him in the hands of people he didn't know, even though they were very nice people.
