Cracks In Sidewalks

Today is Day 2 of our “Name the Cat Contest,” and I’ve added another photo of our little kitten for inspiration.  If you haven’t seen Day 1’s photo click on the “My Cats Tail” category if you already haven’t and scroll down.  Our little kitten is waiting for a name, and again she is a little girl.  You can also click under the “Comment” section below yesterdays photo to see all the names that have already been submitted or to add a submission.  Again you have til Sunday M to submit your name.

Here you go.  Pookie.  Delilah.  Paloma.  How about a name the cat contest.  Cat and cracks.

To submit your suggestion, just add your name in the “comment” section below the photo.  After the contest deadline, I’ll throw your suggestions back to the reader who submitted this photo along with my top pick and see what she comes up with.  As the kitten needs a name you have til Sunday 12M to submit your ideas.  You can submit as many as you want.  We just want a good name for her.  Yes the kitten is a little girl.  Once her name is decided I will post it on the site.

It became clear that the way to go was to just put the hand out and let her
use it as a plate!

Here’s a cat picture for you.  I took it in Tuscany and named the cat Annelisa for the week that I was there. I fed the cat regularly from my hand.  It also lacerated me regularly on my hand because it was much faster than I was and It had never had its nails trimmed, in its life!

This past November one of my cats got very sick, and I needed to pill her multiple times a day.  Although very sweet, my hands were getting scratched and bit from shoving pills down her throat for months on end, and I was getting very stressed by all of this.  It was not good for either of us and I didn’t know how I was going to continue.

Then one day I was sharing my concern with one of my closest friends and she asked me if I had ever used pill pockets?  I asked her what they were.  She proceeded to tell me about little pocket kitty treats that hide the pill.  I immediately went out to the pet store and bought some.   All my life I had animals and I never knew they existed so I’m betting some of you don’t either.

When it came time for the trial run I was very nervous and also extremely hopeful.  I could hear the drum roll in the background.  I took the two pills I needed to give my cat that morning and I buried them in the little pocket and closed it shut.  I put the pill pocket with the pill enclosed on the floor and within less then a second, my cat gobbled it down.  Then I put the second pill on the floor and she did the same thing.  I couldn’t believe how I had been struggling unnecessarily for two months when all I needed were some little “Greenies” pill pockets.

This week I realized that I could not have a blog with a section called “My Cats Tail” and not share this hot Cat Tail tip with you.

So now I always have them stocked in my kitchen cupboard.  I buy “Greenies” Pill Pockets for cats.  They come in salmon and chicken flavors.  They also have pill pockets for dogs for all my friends with dogs.  I have to say that they saved my life and probably my cat’s life too, as without them I don’t know if I could have continued the struggle much longer.  Now my cat anxiously awaits her morning and evening treats, and I’m the good guy for giving them to her.
