Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year to all the fur babies and their staff!
I am here to report a happy and healthy Basil, who will be coming up on GASP! two years OTJ in March.
He was getting a little chubby, so I cut his food back by 1/4 can per day, and he now gets 2 cans of FF daily. Every 6 or 7 days, I throw in an extra quarter can. He's doing very well. Seems to have gotten used to "fenced yard or nothing" as far as the outdoors is concerned. He does spend a lot of time on the screened porch, even in the cold, but I know he sees the coyotes out there now too and I can't imagine he REALLY wants to go out there. As a result, he harasses his sister Rosie more and also likes to intimidate the little doggie.
He and I are at war because I bought two new expensive chairs for the living room--first time in decades--and he wants to claw them. I have begun trimming his claws and he gives me the long-suffering look but basically goes along. What a good kitty he is!
I was sad to come here and see Rebecca's post about financial woes. I just made my annual donation and want to encourage everyone to do the same. If we all donated the basic cost of one vet visit a year, it would be so great. And honestly, this site has saved me many vet visits. And probably the need for a shrink for me!
Am I the last person to know about this site?

They will, for a fee, do a complete personalized nutrition consult for your pet. I am looking at it for my kidney dog whose diet is a rel challenge right now.
Basil sends his love to everyone. He said he had a kitty epiphany the other day and realized that he would not be alive today if not for this group because his beans were kind of clueless.
