** Declared Dead! After 15 years a Microchip reunites Brandy and her guardian.
Does your cat have a microchip?

** Irish Veterinary Clinic Seeks Professional ‘Cat Cuddler’

See article in The Independent (UK)
I’m reminded of my days at The Cat Practice. One of the patients, a cat named Spencer Tracy, with a severe urinary problem, was so sad he wouldn’t eat or respond to contact. His heart yearned for the little girl he once lived with.

Spencer’s special person

Spencer rallies
I arranged for Simone, a ten-year-old girl, who lived next door to come by after school. She was joined by two of her school chums.  Every afternoon they would sign Spencer’s visitor list, and he’d purr and melt as they stroked and cuddled him. Slowly his eyes glowed, and his appetite peaked. Thanks to “Les Jeunes Filles Auxiliary“, as they were dubbed, Spencer rallied and was adopted by a family with a little girl.

** Brewer’s Yeast To Tulip’s Rescue    (Post-Vet Angst)

Barnaby licks at the brewer’s yeast

Barnaby and Tulip were two cats that were inseparable. But one day when they returned from the vet, Barnaby growled and hissed at Tulip. When Phyllis, their guardian, called me in a panic, I remembered that Barnaby loved brewers yeast and told her to sprinkle it on Tulip.  Her next message was to tell me that Barnaby walked over to Tulip, took a few sniffs and licked away at the brewers yeast.  At first Tulip wiggled her tail and rippled her back but very quickly and happily accepted Barnaby’s licks.

** Exercise Buddies
Darcy, one of my clients, is a Yoga enthusiast whose cat Duffy mirrors Darcy’s bliss. They do Yoga together. Darcy says, “My cat Duffy hangs out on my back when I unwind from the “cat pose”.
Duffy was on point to the finish, where he was full of purrs and would fetch one of his balls so she could toss and he could fetch. Darcy felt the yoga relaxed and energized him. They shared mutual inspiration and rejuvenation.

Sunny Blue
I was reminded of my late cat Sunny-Blue. When I had a session with my trainer, I would put a mat down for the floor work. Sunny would show up and join me on my mat which became a little crowded.  Sunny soon had his very own mat — but very close to mine so he could stretch out and watch. One of these sessions was filmed by a Japanese television crew. The theme was how your cat is often your “exercise buddy”.  Positive energy is usually a natural draw for a cat. This energy is released when you’re exercising, so your cat joins in to share the benefits — inspiration and rejuvenation.  Your cat may also encourage you to stay motivated when you have the urge to give up. It’s great to have such a supportive influence. So when you try to avoid your cat’s request for play, remember how your cat accompanies and inspires your workout.
