Sebastian was one of those "accidental" adoption cases which seem to happen with cats and kittens who see one of those "Suckers for Cats" signs hung over doors, which are invisible to the human eye.

Fatty Liver Disease

Wed, 26 Feb 2014 13:02:36 +0000

I am not a veterinary professional. My knowledge of medical conditions of cats is limited to personal experience supplemented by lengthy research; the investment in veterinary textbooks, dictionaries, and manuals; and a distance learning veterinary assistant course I took several years ago. Having disclosed that information, it is particularly gratifying to receive occasional emails thanking me for helpful information in the topic of feline health. Feline hepatic lipidosis, aka fatty liver disease is often the subject of these emails.

Happy Birthday Jaspurr and Joey

Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:20:26 +0000

The years and this month have passed so quickly, that I may have forgotten the date, except that I received two Happy Birthday cards from VPI Pet Insurance. I invite you to read my Diary: The Great Kitten Search for the details of how I found the J-Boys. The Diary links to a rather primitive accounting of the kittens before and after we adopted them.
