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?
Have always searched for the answers to ultimate health.
When Cats Get Sick
June 2022

Lucy alert and back to her old self.
It has been a rough month for my little ones.
Sometimes we never know what causes them to get ill. Especially since mine are both indoors. No sliding glass door. No contact with other animals or people. We didn’t even touch another animal, yet they still got sick.
The ironic part, neither was sick because of the other.
Started with Lucy having loose bowel movements. Several days, and still no change. Soon graduated into her meowing and standing on the bed. Her usual MO for a no-no. Band her from the rooms with beds… after cleaning up several messes. Two plus weeks we had bedroom doors closed.
Lucy either did it on the bed or in the litter box. There could have been a third alternative. I’ll take my wins where I can.
Journey of a Cat’s Private Chef
August 2021

Lily hanging out on the cat tree.
Lily and Lucy both have red gums. There has been improvement since I first started on this quest. Lily’s breath improved. Their coat is silkier. Still, there wasn’t enough progress.
By appointment time for both cats, I made a recent purchase of cat food. Ugh.
