International Cat Day!

 

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY!!!!

 Roary and I would like to take a moment to wish our furiends all over the world a most happy International Cat Day!!!

Every morning my boy gets into bed with me, he bumps my nose and says "Good Morning", (he truly does!). He follows me into the bathroom (where BOTH of our litter boxes are) and while this is TMI, he LOVES to use his litter box at the same time I'm using mine. Do I like it, no.....but..hey, whatever makes him happy works for me!!

HAVE A CATABULOUS DAY EVERYONE!!! 

Happy International Cat Day 2023!!!

 As all of you do, we celebrate cats EVERY DAY but today is a day to celebrate not only our cats that live with us, but cats ALL OVER THE WORLD! It is a day to spread the word about just how pawesome life with cats is!

"Effective since August 3, 2020, the leading cat welfare charity, International Cat Care, became the custodians of International Cat Day. Since 1958, they’ve challenged cruelty, ignorance, and misunderstanding to affect positive change in the lives of cats. With an estimated global population of 600 million cats, half of which are thought to be unowned, their work has never been more important. To learn more about the charity, visit their website."

To all of you who have visited us for oh so many years and to those we recently have met, we think you are PAWESOME and we appreciate and celebrate each and every one of you!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY!!

AN UPDATE ON ROARY!

I thought it would be fitting to include an update on Roary and how he has been doing since his bladder stone surgery that took place at the end of May.

He is peeing like a champ and is doing SUPER WELL! (Paws crossed that this continues to be the case!) 

He had bloodwork done last week (because his bloodwork at the time of his surgery wasn't that great, the Vet felt it was due to the stones and it turns out it was!) Roary's bloodwork, kidney function, etc. was NORMAL and they also ran a urine test that was NORMAL!! YAY!!

One of the most wonderful outcomes of Roary's surgery is that he and I have FINALLY BONDED!

 (It only took THREE YEARS lol!)

I think Roary knew and appreciated that I barely left his side after his surgery......I waited on him hand and paw and we started a new ritual that I think helped us to bond. I started brushing him with the Furminator that used to be Cody's and he LOVES IT! I brushed him when he was wearing the cone to bring him comfort and now it is a daily ritual. 

He FINALLY sits with me on the couch, either on my lap or next to me (as you can see in the photo above where he is lying by me wearing my Lions pants.)

If it took the surgery to FINALLY have us finally develop a close bond, then I couldn't be happier!

Happy International Cat Day!!!

Even if he could take me or leave me,
I love him just the same!!
Happy International Cat Day all!!

International Cat Day: "Humanity Must be Their Voice"

Today is International Cat Day which has taken place every year on August 8th, since it first was celebrated in 2002. It was created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Found on Pinterest

International Cat Day is a day to raise awareness about cats and to learn about ways to help and protect them. I would say that virtually all of you who read this blog already KNOW about ways to help and protect our feline friends, but it is the general public who needs to be educated.

 Rescuing cats who need homes as most of us have done, is just one of many ways we can help and protect them. Kudos to so many of you who help your community/feral cats on a daily basis and have done so for many, many years.

Other ways to help and protect cats is:

Keep poisonous plants out of our homes
CAMPAIGN TO MAKE DECLAWING CATS ILLEGAL IN EVERY STATE! 
Take them for regular Veterinary visits
Make our homes "cat proof" as in reducing dangers that can cause trauma/unwanted tragedy for our pets.
Cut handles OFF OF ALL BAGS, PLASTIC, PAPER, TOTE BAGS, ALL BAGS! (When I see photos of cats playing in ANY sort of a bag with handles I cringe.)
Educate children as to the proper way to approach/touch/handle a cat
Dispel antiquated myths about cats
And simply......LOVE THEM!!

I love this graphic created by The Catington Post:

Mom and I would also like to extend a most heartfelt THANK YOU for  the overwhelming outpouring of caring, support, well wishes, love and prayers for Dakota!!! We have some extremely GOOD news (and some things that we are still working on that I will know more about as the week unfolds). The GREAT news is Dakota's blood pressure was NORMAL!!! Two readings were in the low 140s and one reading was 160 (at the very beginning). He did not have to have an abdominal ultrasound, he did have a test for the protein levels in his urine. He may have to have a chest xray before his dental to remove the tooth that is abscessed. The two other things that may be going on  I believe will be treatable.But........for now............the blood pressure news is FANTASTIC! Mom, Dakota and I send much love and gratitude to ALL of you! We will keep you posted as we know more.

Cody and I are beyond lucky that thanks to  the Internet, we get to celebrate World Cat Day EVERY DAY, because we have feline friends all over the World!!!

We love you all!

Enjoy International  Cat Day!!!!

Much love from Cody,  Mom and Dakota too!!!
