Lone caregiver: looking to talk about cats, books, music, food, more..

Posted by bigmaya @bigmaya, May 2, 2023

Hello,
I'm a member with the caregivers but would like to hopefully find a couple of people to talk to about cats, books, music, food - most everything under the sun. Thanks🙏🪻

Hello all cat people😺

Acc. to our terrific vet of 20 years kittens are either nursed by their mother respectivelly require a special formula. Grown up cats should never be given regular milk as their system can't process it.

That sounds great😺, lucky for him he found a good and safe home with you. Must be beautiful though to have owls, eagles, foxes as neighbors😉

@bigmaya Hello again. Yes, my husband and I are musicians and music scholars. We work in archives, (re)discovering music manuscripts long forgotten but often interesting and beautiful. Since you asked, I could share with you some of my writings, but I would have to send to a regular email address. I don't know if this is possible or how it could work. But let me know what you think. jshdma

My Missy doesn't drink much water and it makes her constipated, so when I give her wet food twice a day she gets it in a bowl with some psyllium husk and a lot of hot water (I call it 'soup'). She hates getting a mouthful of husks so I have to mash and mix it well. Her preferences vary, so I put out options and usually she goes for one or another -- tap water in one corner of the kitchen, filtered water at the base of her tree, bottled water beside her kibble dish. She always likes things clean, so I do a lot of that. Also, she seems to like the smaller containers ... might be so she doesn't have to put much effort into keeping her whiskers dry.

Missy sounds like a very spoiled lady cat😸 who knows what she wants, but being spoiled by their humans is their natural right😉 l will get back to you once l've heard from our vet.
