Dr. Elsey's Clean Tracks Litter Review #ChewyInfluencer

We have been using Dr. Elsey's cat litter for years, so we were excited to try out this particular formula of litter when Chewy offered it up for review this month. 

Dr. Elsey's Clean Tracks Multi-Cat Strength Clumping Cat Litter contains no scent and is 99.9% dust-free. Both of these qualities are very important to me. Even though Lita (who had severe asthma) has gone to the Bridge, certain scents and dust really bother my asthma as well. Using a dust-free litter is essential to me.

Milita's Memories

Lita had the herpes virus from the time she was young. As she got older, the virus no longer reared its ugly head, but when she was young, she had a few rounds of battle with it.

The first time Lita's herpes virus caused symptoms, the vet gave me an eye drop to give her for her eyes. Lita didn't enjoy getting those drops one bit. She would smack me in the face with her little gray paws (thankfully without the claws out!). I had to purrito her twice a day to give her the eye drops. 

One day I went to get Lita's eye drops, which I kept on my kitchen table, but they weren't there. I thought that was odd. Maybe I put them on my desk? Nope. Maybe I put them on the coffee table? Nope. Maybe they're on my dresser?! Nope.

Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine!

Mes is joining Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop today. 

Mes is very thankfuls for all of ours wonderful friends who left mes purrs and prayers and good wishes on my last post where mes explained that mes has not been feeling so well. Thank yous!

Mes is also thankful that mes is starting to feel a little better. Mes has been eating a little better the past two days. Mes is still sniffling and sneezing some, but mes is not doing it every five seconds anymores! 

Mes is thankfuls that Uncle Steve took the Mom to the compounding pharmacy to get my medicine. It stills tastes yucky, but it is a lot better-tasting than that awful stuffs the vet lady gave the Mom to give to mes! It is also a lot less liquid and easier for mes to keep in my tummy!

Wes hopes yous is all having a good week so far. 

Carmine Could Use a Few Purrs and Prayers

Hi everyone, it's mes, Carmine.

Mes heard the Mom told yous mes wasn't feeling very good yesterday. It's true. Mes hasn't been feeling very good latelys. Mes has been very sniffly and sneezy and mes has had watery eyes. When mes sleeps on the Mom's pillow with hers, mes sneezes on hers many times at night. Hers usually wakes up and pets mes and says, "Poor Carmine." 

It is hard for us to get to see our regular vet man when wes is sick, so the Mom ended up taking mes to a Banfiled place instead.

The vet lady there was very nice and felt bad for mes. Hers gived me something called Doxycycline to make mes feel better. BUT all theys had was a horrible-tasting one,!! 

Milita's Memories

I apologize for the lack of Milita's Memories the past couple of weeks. It has been a crazy time around here with Tylan coming home and now Carmine being quite ill. I will give you all an update on Carmine tomorrow, but he could use a few purrs and prayers in the meantime.

When Lita was young, she loved to be in her blue bed on top of my desk. My desk was quite tall, with the topmost shelf being about 5.5 feet tall or more. She loved to watch the world from up there!

Wordy Wednesday with Tylan!

Hi everyone! My name is Tylan!

I just came to live here in my forever home on Monday. Wow, did I have a journey to get here to the Mom lady! I sure am excited to be here with the Mom lady and my new big brother! I was so excited to get here on Monday that I hardly sat still all day or night! I am settling down a little now and making myself at home.

Now that I'm here, I'll tell you a bit about me!

They think that I am about 3 years old, born in September 2015. I had a brother named Mek. He and I were close. Mek got adopted a few days before I did, and he went home with a nice couple. I was a bit sad when he left our foster home, but I knew I would be going home soon, too.

My foster mom is an awesome lady! The Mom lady said she would keep my foster Mom updated alllll about me. She is sure my foster Mom will miss me because I am such a sweet boy.

A Special Announcement (Wordy Wednesday_

We have a special announcement today, but I want to make something very clear before I tell you what it is.

No cat will ever replace Lita. And I know that nothing is going to take away the pain of losing her. I am still very sad and grieving for my beautiful girl.

Shortly after Lita passed away, I began looking for a friend for Carmine. I have a lot of love to give another kitty, and I want to give another kitty a good and loving home where he can be spoiled to pieces, just like he deserves. I found a gorgeous Siamese cat on PetFinder named Kao Grong (which translates to Brown Rice in English). 

I inquired about him, and he sounded just perfect for us! But he was showing signs of a URI and was on antibiotics, so he couldn't come home right away. 

I waited five days to do our meet and greet so I could bring Carmine along to meet Brown Rice. When I met him, I knew he was the right kitty for us! 

Carmine did very well at the meet and greet - especially considering it was in a strange environment for him. He allowed Brow Rice to sit near him, but he did get hissy when he tried to rub up against Carmine or get too close. I think they will become good friends once Brown Rice comes home and they have a chance to get to know each other. 

Milita's Memories

One day, D and I were out and about, and I came across this little fabric bag full of catnip. It smelled good to me, so I got it for the kitties. Lita did I know then just how much Lita liked catnip...

I came home and put the bag on the floor in the kitchen so the kitties could check it out.

Carmine didn't even get a chance to sniff it before Lita started attacking the bag. She grabbed it, gnawed on it, kicked it with her feet..
