Do not give hydrogen peroxide to cats!
The internet can be full of misinformation, and whether or not hydrogen peroxide can be given to cats is unfortunately, a topic that can lead to deadly consequences. There is no safe or effective way to make our feline friends vomit at home, that includes using hydrogen peroxide. In fact, using something like hydrogen peroxide can cause significant injury to a cat’s gastrointestinal system, potentially causing more damage than the original issue. Cats are extremely sensitive to the gastric irritant effects of hydrogen peroxide and giving any amount by mouth can have severe negative effects that can lead to death. If your pet ingested something you are concerned may be toxic, call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline right away before attempting to perform any treatments at home.

Today is National Black Cat Day!! Let’s see your mini panthers!

National Black Cat Day 2023: Date and 3 Fun Ways to Celebrate National Black Cat Day is a newer holiday, but thousands are joining in on the festivieies every year. Let's duscuss three ways to celebrate.

There was a cat, Jenny, who was one of the Titanic’s cat. She had her kittens onboard in Belfast. But when they got to the stop before heading to New York, she took her kittens off the boat and did not get back on.
You can read about her below...or by googling cat on Titanic.
Perhaps, that’s what this picture by artist Celia Pike, is of...Jenny and her babies watching the last sailing of the Titanic.

The Titanic Cat - Jenny's Story
In the wee hours of the morning between April 14th and April 15th 1912 the queen of the White Star Line, the unsinkable Titanic, did indeed sink into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. Countless human and animal lives were lost, but what about Jenny, the Titanic cat?

As the story goes …
Jenny was brought aboard the Titanic from her sister ship, the Olympia, to act as mascot and to help with the rodent control. She lived in the underbelly of the ship (or the kitchen depending on which story you read) and was tended to by a stoker named Jim Mulholland. He would frequently sneak table scraps for her.

Work was difficult to find in those days and Jim Mulholland had been temporary help on the Titanic during the ship’s sailing trials from the Irish Sea to Southampton. When he was offered a full time position for the Titanic’s maiden voyage to New York he was thrilled to have the employment.

During those sailing trials, about a week before the Titanic moored in Southampton, Jenny presented Jim and the Titanic with a litter of kittens. Jim made Jenny a comfortable spot where she could tend to her kittens. Looking after the mama cat and her kittens broke the monotony of Jim’s work. Jenny seemed content with her warm spot by the furnaces, her babies and her kitchen scraps from Jim.


However, as soon as the ship docked at Southampton Jenny had a good look at her surroundings and promptly started picking her kittens up by the scruff of their necks and moving them, one by one, down the gangplank and off the ship.

Jim watched her curiously and decided that this cat must know something that no one else knows!

He promptly packed his meagre belongings and departed the ship himself.

Truth or Titanic legend? Some other reports have Jenny and her kittens perishing with the Titanic, but the cat lover in me … I like Jim Mulholland’s story so I vote truth!

Years later the Irish Times ran Jenny’s story after a reporter spoke to an elderly man who related the tale. Was he Jim Mulholland himself or just someone with whom Jim shared his story? We may never know. A Daily Mirror edition from April of 1912 ran an article with the headline “Clever Mother Cat Saves Her Kittens from the Titanic” accompanied with the following picture. Is this Jenny’s litter? Again, we may never know.

When a cat enters your life, they become not just a pet but one of your closest friends 🥰 In honor of , comment the name of a pet that has passed on but lives forever in your heart ❤️

Losing your faithful companion is never easy, but many pet parents find consolation in the “rainbow bridge" and its supportive meaning in the grieving process 🌈 The concept of the Rainbow Bridge, first entering the zeitgeist in the 1980s, painted a picture that our beloved pets will find themselves in a beautiful Eden-like meadow filled with sunshine for eternity.

With all good intentions in mind, this poem and sentiment may not be right for everyone. Each person grieves in their own way, so the rainbow bridge poem might not help someone who's going through immense loss. Ultimately, you know your friends and family best, so you're the best person to decide whether—or when—your grieving loved one will find comfort in the Rainbow Bridge 🙏

Today, we honor those that left paw prints on our hearts and tread across our memory until we meet them again.

Hi everybody, it is wishlist Wednesday once again. We have added a new type of Science Diet to the list that has been recommended by our wonderful Dr Smith for some of our kitties with sensitive tummies. If you could send us a bag we would be so grateful! (You don’t have to do it on Wednesday! Any day will do!)

We took our 17 year old baby girl Tabitha to the vet yesterday. She had dropped weight while eating normally. There can be a lot of really bad reasons for this … cancer, kidney disease, etc. The news was one of the best things we could have hoped for. She has hyperthyroidism. Just a small pill (methimazole) every day and she should be able to live many more years. Hopefully she will put some weight back on. She’s already had her pill, a drink (very important after taking pills), dinner and some treats!

Here she is. Sorry about the black thing. It is a lamp
