Senior Cat

Kathy has a cat who is getting on in years, he had trouble getting up on the couch due to arthritis.  She had a novel solution in getting a baby step stool to help him.  Click this link to see Kathy's photo.

We pulled out the snowblower on the weekend as we had a lot of snow.  Sometimes it is better to do that than stressing our backs shovelling as we often like to do.  Parts of the world are suffering intense heat waves, it sounds just as uncomfortable.  At least it has been sunny, with cold and crisp air here.

  1. I wish we had a snowblower when we lived in Chicago.

  2. Yeah, why hurt your back if you have a snow blower. Though some blowers can be pretty squarely when run and can do damage as well. Hopefully, your is safe, quick and easy.

  4. I hope the snow soon goes away! My cat needed a step to get onto her favourite window ledge in her last year. She was 22 when she died. Hugs, Valerie

  5. Snow....here in Nashville they build you up then the day before it is to hit they tell you that you will not get any. Personally if it is going to be this cold I would love to see snow.

  6. Oh, I love the step for the kitty, that is so sweet. I'm always trying to take care of my fur-babies, too, and seeing to their every little need.

    The snowblower is an excellent idea. We've had around 10 inches lately, so I know how it adds up quickly, and today is dangerously cold.

    Be safe and stay warm!

    (By the way, I'm a new follow here!)

  7. I like the stool idea:)Does she give her kitty any glucosamine/chondroitin? It works wonders. How old is it?
    Smart to use a snow blower. We don't get enough snow to invest in one.
    Have a purrfect day:)

  8. Fortunate cat to have people who love him so to give him a stool ...so sweet. I've been wondering both about the heat waves and the extreme coldl that is going on - at least in the states, midwest and northeast for extreme cold. Don't know how u all do it. Snowblower would work for me.

  9. That's the problem with pets of any kind. They get old, sick, and die. I liked your post about honey. We always buy honey, but mainly for cooking with chicken.

  12. Very cute about the stepping stool. Our fur babies need help as they get older.

    We have lots of snow and cold these days. Can't wait till spring!

  15. What a great idea Kathy had …

    I think you are wise to use a snow blower.
    We have had snow in many parts of the UK today, but not enough for the grand-children to build a snowman! Yes, they were disappointed!

    All the best Jan
