As a pet sitter we take many photos of litter boxes, water, food bowls and supplies in addition to your furry friends doing cute things. Can you guess how many photos I just deleted from my photo album dated August 7, 2025 to today that were JUST of cat litter, litter boxes, food and water bowls?

You might be asking why I take these photos?
- It is part of my practice to provide clients with a before and after photo of food/water and the litter boxes.
- This provides adequate record tracking of how much the pet ate, how much food/water they are stocked with for the day, what their stools/urine output looks like AND that they have a fresh litter box for the day.
- Additionally if a pet comes down with an illness, the client knows how much they have eaten and what their bathroom behaviors were like in order to tell their vet for further diagnosis.

Those snow days hit hard sometimes.

When outside with your pets don't forget about paw protection. Paw pads CAN and do get frost bitten.

If your pet allows, get booties for their feet while outside. Then take them off when coming back inside for airflow.

Wipe off their paws with a clean towel when coming back inside as ice melt in neighborhoods isn't always pet friendly.

Keep an eye out for cracked, grey, blue and even swollen paw pads that can indicate frostbite is setting in.

Coming in 2nd were cattle then dogs in 3rd. The most common way cats picked up the virus were from raccoons and skunks with the highest risk at cat-colony feeding stations.

Rabies vaccine is considered a core . Even indoor cats can catch rabies especially in the event a bat gets inside your house. The only way to test for rabies is a brain biopsy post death and there is no cure for it. This statistic highlights the importance of vaccinating not only indoor cats, but community cats as well.

Remember, scratching is a normal and pleasant part of feline behavior. Scratching releases feel good chemicals and provides cats with other benefits that include scent marking abilities to allow them to recognize their home, where they have been and tells other animals its their personal territory.

If there is destructive scratching going on in the home. The first set of steps to take are getting a cat scratcher that is stable with a large enough base to not be knocked over, horizontal and or vertical (your cat may prefer one more than the other), and place it in an area of the home near where they rest and sleep (not by litter boxes or food), you can also place it by the area destructive scratching is occuring to redirect their behavior (ex: next to the couch). Entice the kitty with catnip or silvervine to explore the new scratcher and make it fun and reward them for using it.
