Gracie Update

Many of you have sent emails asking how Gracie is doing. Gracie responds to her fans.

Many of you have sent emails asking how Gracie is doing. Gracie responds to her fans.

Gracie is doing great – has blended into our household very well. There remains some issues with her hearing…she tends to lose her ability to hear me calling her when chasing gecko’s in the yard. And there are a few personality conflicts with her and one of our cats…they don’t like each other. But other than that – she’s doing wonderful.

The following video from Gracie – her ‘talking’ – happens every morning.

 

She’s one of us now.

 

Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

    So glad Gacie is doing well. I’ve asked several times with no reply. Has Wild Calling cat food been cleared of the charges that it sickened several cats. Is it safe to feed in your estimation. is there any reason not to use it if one chooses…I’d appreciate a response. Thank you….

      Hi Judith – Wild Calling is believed to be the reason two cats got sick, per the pet owner nothing else could have been the cause. The pet food was tested for pentobarbital by Virginia Department of Ag and results were negative.

      I hope that the presence (or not) of pentobarbital isn’t the newest threshold for whether or not a PF is “okay” to feed. There are plenty of other things that can be wrong. Even from production batch to batch. People know their pets, best. And if a PF is suspected, or is refused by the pet for unexplained reasons, … then it’s the PF! Regardless of what the manufacturer says. I think Wild Calling was the company that wasn’t exactly transparent with Susan. And that’s not good.

      Peg, I agree with you 100%. Susan has literally been a lifesaver to us and our fur babies.

    Well isn’t Gracie just as cute as a bug in a rug. And yep she’s a talker. Seems she likes to talk more than listen..Typical female (wink). LOL

    Hey there, Miss Gracie. Thanks for letting us know you’re doing so well (in spite of the cat). It’s obvious your mommy takes very good care of you. You are so darned cute, and opinionated, too! Much love, little one. Batzion

    Hi Susan: see http://ausflowers.com.au/Combination-Essences I highly recommend these for emotional imbalances (which can lead to dis-ease) but for Gracie and the kitty cats choose (1) Combo CALM & CLEAR (instils inner peace and self-reassurance/trust) and EMERGENCY (stress, fear, anxiety,trauma) and TRANSITION (adaption to change in one’s environment) You can buy the 3 and add 3 drops of each into their water bowls and from that water bowl add a teaspoon to kitty’s meals and a tablespoon to Gracei’s meals. I have used Flower Essences on animals for over 20 years and they are safe, gentle and most importantly they bring emotional balance and harmony and can reverse disease. Much love Eve…ps Gracie is barkingly-beautiful XX

    My dog came into the kitchen when she heard the dog noises. Then she started licking the laptop. I guess she wanted to say hi.
