Comment on This Week is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Week by Bill Haynes

Next week on Sept 9 our cat, Smudge, will be 19 years old, born in 1991 in Longwood, FL. She had her last vet check-up a few months back, and the vet said she is in really good shape for an 8 year old cat (he had misread her chart and didn’t see the “1″ in front of the “8″). When I told him she was almost 19 he decided he needed to do some blood work to check kidneys, etc. After the tests were run, he came back in and told me “Our blood work should be this good.” She still runs around and jumps and enjoys sleeping at the highest spot she can find. Her only indication of “old age” is her voice, which sounds like a Sr. Citizen. With very few exceptions she has been on Iams her entire life. It has certainly kept her healthy.

Oh, and when it is time to go to the vet . . . she has the strength and resistance of a very young cat. She has been known to have the vets staff chasing her all over the office.

Oddly enough my cat immediately lies down on the scale and just stays there…so weird b/c she is usually a totally tough-cookie with serious catitude…:)

@BRENDA PARTCH
Thanks for stopping by, Brenda. Sorry, but Tyler is my little man and I’m not gonna give him up! If you’re interested in adopting a Bichon like Tyler, check out Small Paws Rescue at http://www.SmallPawsRescue.org. They’re an incredible rescue organization that I gladly support.

Every morning before the alarm goes off, Otis jumps on the bed and snuggles up next to me. The second the alarm goes off, Otis jumps on me and begins to give kisses. As you say, what a great way to start the day! Lots of love in this house.

Glad to see how great Tyler is doing.

@Helen Woodward Animal Center I wouldn't call that wonky. I'd call that a warm and fuzzy feeling!

This may also sound wonky, but I love picking up my cat when I come home from work and just burying my head in his tummy fur. I think it’s his smell, plus his soft fur on my face after a day at work, that is so comforting!

There is a boatload of misinformation about my company out there in the ethernet. Frankly, there’s a lot of misinformation about dog and cat nutrition out there, too.

One suggestion I would like to make to you as you compare ingredient panels on dry food: if they have to add taurine to the food, then it’s not a meat-based diet. Taurine is an amino acid–amino acids are what make up protein–that is only found in meat. Eukanuba and Iams dry diets do not need to add taurine because our protein source is animal-based.

Anytime you have questions about our products, don’t hesitate to shoot me an email (petcarebev[dot]im[at]pg[dot]com).

Bev, thank you for your insights on the pawscoop blog post for 5 Things to Consider When Choosing Dog Food: http://blog.pawscoop.com/?p=504

It’s definitely important to educate pet owners – as well as encourage them to join create pet causes.

@Caroline OMD Caroline! "Corn Chips" is a really good discription! Your friend is spot on!
