Hi Sheri, I have not used Para-Outta-Site for ticks prevention because we did not have that problem in So cal. I really don't think it would hurt to try. :)
I don't particularly like Wondercide due to its ingredients source. I like to use Away, Evict or Oust (RTU - ready to use versions) essential oil blends by AnimalEo. The creator of these oils is Dr. Melissa Shelton, she's been a guest speaker for HA! on a few occasions. www.animaleo.info
I've...
Thanks so much for sharing. I got an ozone machine for my pups and now I have three kitties and have wondered what and how I can do with the ozone for my kitties!
Hi @Dr. Jeff - YES!
Hi @PamR - We have two pet fountains at home that we like. We don't use plastic or stainless steels ones but ceramic and glass:

Hi @SelinaR Thanks for your help and support. I think the kittens and my resident cat were separated for about a week or so before they integrated. I was not able to feed them on the opposite sides of the door because my resident only eats on a designated counter in the kitchen. Yes, I used the...
Thanks, Dr. Christina. Wow...re-homing the kittens? I can't even process that in my head. I want to be hopeful and keep trying for the fact that there were some tender moments from the resident cat towards the kittens.
The plug-in pheromones...did you mean Feliway?
No, sometimes she is not fine when they walk by her....sometimes, she approaches and paws, unprovoked, out of nowhere!
Hmm...for example, I tried sitting down next to her to spend a quiet few moments, she growled and hissed at me.
I don't believe so, but Mason recently was prescribed that! Ha!
Hi @Dr. Jean Hofve, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff,
I adopted two kittens (8-week old) in late November 2025 and introduced the kittens by following the typical protocol for cat introduction to my resident cat (around 2yo). There were hiccups in their interactions (mainly aggression from my...
Thank you so much for your post, @Dr. Jean Hofve (and welcome back!) ♥️
I can't wait to read the update on your kitty litter article.
For the time being, we're switching to the grass seed litter. It appears that my kitty does not like the (organic) wheat pellets anymore!
@Dr. Jean Hofve and @Dr. Jeff - I received a response from Cranky Frank, re their hemp litter:
"Thank you for your interest in our hemp kitty litter! While it isn't certified organic, we're proud to share that it's spray-free, we don't use any pesticides or herbicides. We do use natural...
What did Amy say?! ;) I actually reached out to the client and was informed that they use Guar Gum as clumping agent. What are your thoughts on that? @Dr. Jean Hofve and @Dr. Christina
I found the following re their source:
We are a family owned company!
Located in Cedarburg, WI, we get our grasses from local midwest farmers. We care about our planet, our pets and you! We are so excited to have you try our litter!
Hi @Dr. Jean Hofve, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff,
I have been using organic hemp and wheat pellet litter for my cat, but am considering switching to a litter that may be softer on her paws. I came across this brand World’s Best Catalyst Cat Pet Litter in USA and am interested in the unscented...
Thank you, @GinnyW and @Dr. Jeff,
I understand that topical treatments should not be my first go-to, but I'm concerned that further irritation on the wound site may make the lesion worse. I was hoping for a temporary relief for her.
Apis sounds like a great idea! Would you recommend Apis 30c...
@Dr. Jean Hofve, @Dr. Christina and @Dr. Jeff,
My kitty got bitten by ants (I think) when she was in the yard, and she has a huge bump (the area has no hair also) in her hind leg, by her knee. What would you suggest that I use to help her heal topically? Thank you.
