Cats Get Sick after Cross Country Road Trip

Dr. John Tilden, in his book Toxemia Explained: The True Interpretation of the Cause of Disease (read the book here), states that disease is caused by toxemia plus enervation. He writes:
DEFINITION of Toxemia and crises of Toxemia:—In the process of tissue building—metabolism—there is cell building—anabolism—and cell destruction—catabolism. The broken down tissue is toxic and in health—when [...]

Leaving Oregon and Moving Ten Cats Cross Country–Part II

Continued from Part I.
Tom and Mike needed to fit ten cat carriers, a litter box, three boxes of litter, four cases of canned cat food, two suitcases, one valise, two pillows, a bathrobe, two bags, two boxes, a gun case, a few odds and ends and three people in an SUV. They did it somehow.

Leaving Oregon and Moving Ten Cats Cross Country

How to move ten cats from Oregon to Pennsylvania?
My original intent was to drive the cats in my Mazda Speed 6 and tent camp along the way. I wrote about the problems with the trial run in the tent in an earlier post. When I realized camping wouldn’t work, I tried to buy a van, [...]

My Cat Boy Is Staying Behind

I’ll be down to ten cats when I leave, because I found someone to take Boy.
I feed the cats in the evening now to get them all in, but Boy began howling at the window after dinner so I started letting him out. He prefers being outside and hunting. Boy is a wild little [...]

Switched Cats from Raw to Canned Food

Since we’ll be traveling cross-country and the food supply in Pennsylvania is uncertain, I’ve been switching my cats to Wellness canned food. I added one can to three pounds raw. Then went to two cans and two pounds raw, and so on.
Everyone loved it but Sophie and Arthur. When Sophie first stuck her nose to [...]

My Future on Hold Waiting for Auction End

I feel like I am in limbo. So many things to do. What to do first? I’ve been dragging my feet all month, waiting for inspiration. Mostly I’m just recovering from the burden of mental effort and worry expended the past year.
I’m balancing my business checkbook today, something I’ve been putting off for three [...]

Spoiled Cats Get Fresh Rabbit

So I’m looking at this four-pound carcass last night wondering, Where do I start? I have hungry, crying cats and a dull knife. Arthur is crawling up my leg digging his tiny claws into my flesh. Puddy is crawling up the counter a drawer handle at a time.
I locked the cats in the sunroom, [...]

Arthur Eats His First Mouse

Do you remember this little kitten I found down the road? I adopted him and named him Arthur. From a young age he demonstrated a keen knowledge of the purpose of prey. One of my cats brought in a mouse several weeks ago and Arthur batted it around, possessively growling over it.
This past weekend Puddy [...]
