I was browsing Cute With Cris who always has a great array of cats lying around his posts and had a hard time which of these two guys I was going to share with you so I just decided I would share these two stars.

One is a master of camouflage

If you blur your vision you can hardly see him

and the other is one to beware of…

Maybe Mr Camouflage is hiding from Mr Fangs here.

Maggie May from Cats ~ Goats ~ Quotes has the right idea about how a weekend should be spent - in complete relaxation.

I am going to show this picture to my family human and feline and see if they can copy the relaxation techniques demonstrated so well by Maggie May!

We have two whole days to practice, and hopefully by Monday we will have perfected our relaxation performance!

Treating Cats with Acupuncture I occasionally get inquiries asking if cats can be treated with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The answer is yes! Cats can sometimes be a little more difficult to needle than dogs. It depends on the personality of the cat and of course their diagnosis. Some cats will only allow me to use the laser on them.

This is Nubi wan Kenobi, my five year old feisty male cat who has had a relapse of kidney stones and crystals in his urine. During his first acupuncture session he allowed me to needle him with no effort, which was quite shocking as he is a biter. He even fell asleep purring during his session. He also permitted me to give him Chinese Herbs in pill form, which aid in the dissolving the stones. Of course they had to be ground up and hid in his food!

When it comes to an internal problem such as one involving the kidneys and bladder, I feel it is best to also use Western Medicine in conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Why not use the best from both worlds? So Nubi went to visit his friends at Atlantic Veterinary Hospital.

After a sonogram, it was determined he did have stones and crystals and was not out of the woods yet. He was given fluids, a shot of steroids to allow for easier urination and was put on antibiotics as a precaution. As recommended by his vet we changed his wet food for two weeks to a prescribed food. His dry kibble was was changed from the Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken to the Wellness Complete Health which has cranberry powder and other natural ingredients to maintain a ph balanced urine in cats. His access to the dry kibble is now limited since he loves to eat his portion as well as my other cat’s filled bowl.

After two weeks of a changed diet and Chinese herbs, Nubi is back to being himself, getting in trouble and complaining about the lack of cat crunchies. Now that Nubi has finished his round of antibiotics he he does not seem to mind the probiotics (I use PB-8) being sprinkled into his food.

O.K. You gotta admit that you haven’t seen this before!

I am sure ever cat I know would be engrossed with this project that  Rosie and Cheeto took on themselves -

Growing organic birdies….

I wonder if they are playing music to help the birdies grow or are they just letting them freestyle it?

I couldn’t resist these very sad eyes. If I had salmon I would give it all to this cute  kitten, because its obvious that is what he is after.

I found him on cute overload. for more pictures of this honey go on over.
