We always love sharing the story that the reindeer have had their annual physical before engaging in their strenuous Christmas Eve routine!

Great news from the North Pole: Santa Claus' reindeer have been officially cleared for their Christmas Eve journey following their annual veterinary checkup by the AVMA.

🎄🐾 Holiday guests at your house? Let’s keep your cat comfy, too.

Some cats love the extra attention… and some would rather not be bothered. 😸
When company is over, a few simple steps can help prevent stress (and sneaky door-dashes).

✅ Set up a quiet “cat retreat”
A bedroom, office, or laundry room with a cozy bed, litter box, water, and a hiding spot can make a big difference.

🚪 Keep doors closed + remind guests
Most holiday escapes happen during arrivals and departures—choose one “cat-safe” room and make it a rule.

🎶 Try calming sound
We love “Music for Cats” by David Teie: brickcitycat.com/music-for-cats

🌿 Extra support for anxious kitties
Consider Feliway or Zenifel diffusers/sprays, especially if your cat tends to hide, overgroom, or stop eating when routines change.

Today we’re feeling really grateful for all the wonderful cats (and the people who love them) who trust us with their care. It’s the small stuff that gets us every time — the biscuit-making, the tiny head bumps, the curious “helpers” in the kitchen, the way they somehow know when you need them most.
Cats have this quiet way of becoming part of everything: your routine, your comfort, your laughs, your home. Getting to care for them through all the ages — wild little kittens to sweet, wise seniors — is something we don’t take for granted. Give your little sous-chef a forehead kiss from us, and know we’re here whenever you need us. 🐾🧡
