  It’s every cat guardian’s heart‑stopping moment: you scoop the box and see runny stool with blood . Before panic sets in, take a breath. Here’s a grounded way to think through what’s happening. 1. First, look at your cat — not the litter box Most vets agree that behavior tells you more than the stool does.

Book description: Discover Canada like never before -- from a personal perspective, similar to John Steinbeck's view of America in his 1960 book  Travels with Charley .

To provide a canine's perspective, Elly reflects on things of interest to her, including cats, cows, and other critters...but especially cats! Where was Canada's first settlement? What is its prettiest town? When and where was its most devastating shipwreck? And who was its greates...
