Benefits of Giving Lysine to Cats

Lily’s 3rd Birthday and Lucy playing with toys
Lysine an Alternative
With a runny nose and one watery eye, the vet suggested Lucy take Lysine.
Interesting, as I thought we were in for a round of antibiotics. A refreshing alternative. Advocate for vitamins and minerals as a decent cure for what ails you or a pet.
Much prefer a drugless solution. Drugs are not a natural substance found in our systems. I doubt anyone is ever lacking in aspirin. Yes, it helps. But if the cause of ailments is a lack of a vitamin or a mineral, doesn’t it make more sense to fill the void?

Review on Cat Sparkle Toy Balls

Lily checking out the new supply of sparkle balls
My cats have loved the sparkle balls I got years ago from a fabric store.
My first introduction to the sparkle balls was in a cat toy Christmas stocking. They self-destructed in days. Hence, the hunting expedition for a suitable substitute. The 48 balls survived the ravages of energetic cat play for years. Now only 27 remained.
What happened to the other 21? Not sure. The vacuum cleaner may have gobbled up a few. A litter box casualty that got buried. Didn’t get scooped because it was washing day for the litter boxes.
There were 3 larger ones that Lily liked. They are missing. One escaped outside, must have got kicked out when we opened the backdoor. Are they under the washer, freezer, or dropped behind the bookshelf? For now, the 3 are MIA.

Why Do You Want a Cat?

Responsible pet ownership comes with many long-term commitments. Are you up for the challenge?
Can you afford to feed them, especially if they need a special diet?
Vet bills can be expensive if they get sick.
Are you prepared to keep them indoors, away from dangers? Cars, dogs, wild animals are a threat to cats?
Responsible Cat Ownership
Outside cats encounter fleas, poisons, such as anti-freeze, poisoned rodents, fertilizers on grass, weed killers. Our own property may be free from those dangers. But cats will wander to the neighbors. And you have no control over their yard.
Cats kept inside don’t run into the above scenarios. Life span of indoor cats is usually much longer than outdoor ones. So keep your furry family member inside for the healthiest existence. They won’t miss the outside if they never experience it. You can’t miss what you don’t know exists. Continue reading
