Boo Boo was rescued by his papa John in the Spring of 1989 age unknown. He and his beautiful blue-eyed sister Tasha lived with a junkie who neglected them to the point of abuse. When he came to live with John, he was in very bad shape:( But with lots of TLC, he blossomed and grew to become a handsome playful fluffy kitty.

Contrary to the belief that cats are tough, they are in fact quite delicate partly because their livers simply do not process food and supplements they way ours do. With cats, when it doubt, leave it out. Hope the following caveats and cautions regarding herbs, essential oils, alcohol, and preservatives help fellow cat lovers.

Review of suppression, palliation, and cure - Homeopathy |
|
Written by Jean C. Hofve, DVM
|
|
In modern medicine, symptoms are seen as the enemy, as the disease itself. Homeopathy, in contrast, recognizes that symptoms are merely the evidence, the manifestations or signposts, of the disease. While medicine seeks to destroy the symptoms, homeopathy challenges the underlying disease.

Vaccination for Cats: Helpful or Harmful? |
|
Written by Dr. Don Hamilton
|
Vaccination is not as widely and unquestionably accepted today as it was in the past. Many pet guardians and veterinarians believe we have taken the concept much farther than its usefulness warrants. In twenty years of veterinary practice, I have made the transition from believing strongly in the protective power of vaccines to becoming continually more certain that they create at least as much illness as they have ever prevented. In truth, I now consider vaccination to be tantamount to animal abuse in most cases.
