As cats age, they need a little help for their digestive systems, just like we do. While they won't eat soured dairy products such as yogurt, they still need the probiotics provided by them. Fortunately, there are several such products on the market that are specifically designed for our senior cats.
Vixen's favorite is Forti-Flora, made by Purina. I buy this from my vet's office. They report that all cats seem to love its flavor. That's true, as it's about the only supplement that Vixen will tolerate in her food. She's turned down joint support, hairball remedies, vitamins...pretty much anything else, no matter what flavoring is in it. But Forti-Flora seems to be like "kitty MSG" for her; she loves it!
More importantly, I've noticed that it's helped her digestion. She started taking it after a round of antibiotics for a kidney infection. I use about 1/3 of an envelope with each feeding of canned food, which at that time she was getting three times a day. When she'd finished the box, long after the antibiotic was done, I figured I could stop giving her the Forti-Flora. Wrong-o. Her diarrhea returned, with a vengeance. So now I give her 1/3 of an envelope each morning in her soft food. She still loves it, and it still helps her. So if your senior kitty is having trouble, perhaps this is a solution for you. If you've found others, please share them here!

Bad advice given to me by a customer service rep at the company powering the new Old Maid Cat Lady online store caused me to waste the past two weeks adding HTML code for products in a way that won't work. So now I have to start over again from square one in stocking the store. Pity, as many of the 297 items I'd added (one by one) were really interesting things I'd never seen offered before! I may still include them as affiliate products, but the bad news is that it'll delay launching the site by probably at least another couple of weeks. Not to worry, though, as it only means that everything will be in the right place and (hopefully) work correctly!

Now, that's funny! We old maid cat ladies have always thought our cats were worth their weight in gold, and now we know that others share that opinion. Personally, I've always wondered about the intellectual capacity of someone who would mail off valuable gold in the hope that someone they've never met before will actually mail money back to them. It just seems like an arrangement that's a little too easy for some con man to set up as a scam and have lots of people mailing their gold to him without actually sending them anything in return. So I guess expecting a cat in return is not really any worse! Now, where'd I put that old chain with the gold beads?

"An extra-large helping of breakfast is never as delicious as a second helping of breakfast that requires Mom to serve me twice."
Anyone who's ever had cats knows that they love their little rituals. Vixen used to have one with my mother, every morning and evening, with her canned food. Now that my mother's no longer with us, that duty has fallen to me. And so it goes in the kittycat world. The rituals continue, even if the players change.
