Bink Cat of the day.

[Kittycat]

A cat from my neighborhood, and such a cute one too!!

When will humans realize that kitties can't abide closed doors; even if they don't want to go in a particular room (or closet) at the moment, they must always have the "right" to do so should the mood move them!

I hope Bink has many more years for cuddles and treats.

What a beautiful girl kitty you have there! When I adopted my Caramel I had the opposite thing happen - they told me he was 4ish and he was actually closer to 10, with a cancerous tumor in his leg. They asked if I wanted them to come pick him up once my vet discovered their error and of course I said no. Caramel is still with me 6 years later and is doing well (despite thyroid and liver issues and a heart murmur). He is such a sweetheart and gives me hugs and kisses every day.

My Angel Beyli had kidney failure - I lost him just before adopting Caramel. I did TONS of research when he is diagnosed and the Feline CRF website was extremely helpful and reassuring that Beyli could still lead a happy life so I highly recommend that site (www.felinecrf.org) - MOST important is diet and litter. For those of you who don't like what I have to say, save your e-mails - unflushable clumping litter and a dry food diet are killing our cats. Cats do not get enough water unless they eat quality canned food and when using clumping litter that contains sodium bentonite it causes cement in your cat and dehydrates their organs. It has been proven by many vets as well as cat rescues and shelters. If your vet doesn't agree keep in mind that for them, it IS a business! Use your logic - that litter turns to cement on contact with liquid so it obviously does the same thing when the dust is on your cats body (paws, tongue, etc.). My friend's neighbor used it and his cat ended up having grey cement coming from his nose and mouth and the vet acknowledged that it was the litter and it was just a matter of hours before he would have had brain damage. FOOD: cats are carnivores and need MEAT. There is no meat in dry food - all dry food does is make them fat and damage the enamel on their teeth, which then can contribute to renal failure because the bacteria gets stuck on the teeth and gets in their blood stream. There are so many types and flavors of canned food out there that there is no way your cats won't find something they like. It may cost more but if you buy it at a pet food store instead of the vet you are already ahead of the game. Look at the ingredients and avoid by-products and any types of "meal". Natural Balance, Wellness, Evo, Go are all good brands. Wishing you the best - know that renal failure is NOT a death sentence, can be managed if caught early. Meds also available at www.allivet.com - much less than the vet. Take care.

Good afternoon, beautiful Bink! You are a gorgeous kitty lady! You are a busy lady, too - de-petaling flowers , inspecting closets, and then keeping an eye on your surroundings from your window! Could you please have your person give you some extra petting and hugs for me today. Happy Cat of the Day to you, lovely Bink!

Greetings Bink in Boston! Happy Cat of the Day to you from sunny Cape Cod! What an honor it is, having a beautiful *golden* senior as our very special honoree! I couldn't agree more, Bink, when you say your Mom is one lucky lady, having been blessed with a furkid as beautiful, as sweet and loving, as you, having known your love and devotion these many years! And at 13 years young, it's clear you're still relishing every minute of your enchanted life to the fullest, even tolerating those trips to the vet, your treatments, like a champ! But of course we have to give major kudos to your Mom for going the rescue route, opening up her home and heart to one most deserving kitty! Sounds like one heavenly match to me, Bink, and I hope for you and your dear Mom, many, many more happy years together! Thanks for taking the time to paw off a note to us, Bink, letting us in on your happy life, sharing so many heart melting pics with us! Meeting you was the perfect ending to my day! Hope you're enjoying your big day in the spotlight, sweetheart, scoping out the birdies from your window perch, napping in a fave closet...maybe sniffing some roses! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Bink, our very special and most deserving, Cat of a Lifetime!

What a pretty girl you are with your tortie markings. And such a sweetie. I want you to tell your Momma to go to www.petwellbeing.com and order some "Kidney Gold" fka "Tripsy". It is a drops supplement easy to take (only 1 drop per two pounds of weight, twice a day), and has tons of great reviews from many furkid's mommas. I give it to several of my older cats to prevent kidney failure. Please just have her check it out. Congrats on being Cat of the Day and I hope you have many more happy years with your Momma. Glod Bless.
