Might not have been the evening we had in mind, but it's moments like these that make me eternally grateful for our bond, trust, and patience together. Love this cat sm. #unconditionallove

Perspective is the difference between gratitude over frustration. Love making every memory with my little cappy bear count ✨🥹🐱 #soulcat #cats

Trazadone, enrichment, afternoon adventure at the river, play time in the backyard, sound machines on, appliances running, safe spaces... it was still overwhelming for them. It went from frantic barks to shaking. People were doing fireworks literally right outside.. it was nerve wracking even for me. Friendly reminder fireworks are NOT allowed in the city...... #noiseaversion #fireworks #anxiousdogs #newyears #dogs

Prob dreaming about churu lol

Blast off ✨🐱

Cappy caring for you is the greatest gift

Sharing my expression techniques with a first time incontinent cat owner 🥲💗 #disabledcat #tipsandtricks

Passion for pumpkin care🐱incorporating pumpkin in Cappy's meal routine has been one of the smoothest ways to keep Cappy's doo doo in line. Cappy is chronically on the more constipated side of things, so I've made it my life's mission to soften his 💩 to the best of my ability. Both the soluble and insoluble fiber in the pumpkin puree i use from weruva helps aide his tummy process. The softer the 💩 the more seamless his bowel expression is. Alot of you ask how cappy does his doo doo business, and the truth is... I help. I help express his bowels quite similarly to the way I express his bladder. But think about what it's like to push it out, the softer it is, the easier it is on Cappy's body. Harder, dryer stool means more work in expressing his bowels. And way less comfortable. So all of this to say, adding pumpkin supplement in Cappy's meal routines assists in his potty routine and keeps him feeling more comfy. And omg Cappy is obsessed with the coconut and flaxseed oil flavor. He can't get enough of it lol.

Cappy's weight journey✨ so pleased to share Cappy has been steadily growing and maintaining his new weight. the best news is that he's not losing any. there was a time where Cappy was all the way down to 7.2 lbs.. and back in 2021 he used to weigh 10 lbs. it's been a slow and steady decline since. a lot of the conversation initially was around him being a bit larger than his ideal weight so the decline at first was not viewed as a problem. Then his weight continued to decline. Then it became a sensitive subject whenever someone brought it up. The craziest part was cappy was ALWAYS acting like he was famished and ravenous and would eat anything and everything and always running to the kitchen hoping I'd give him a snack. And the weirder part is that I fed him a lot.... and frequent. Like i did not understand how he was always so hungry. Needless to say, this has been a large point of discussion with Cappy's vet. It's been an ongoing process, trying out new fresh foods, adding things to his meal plan, removing things from his meal plan... And finally after his 7.2 weigh in, I was advised to list out everything he eats and quantify the calories. Then we added a certain amount to that number to reach his new daily calorie goal. I switched cappy to a new wet food for his gastrointestinal support. It's higher in calories too which has drastically improved his overall appetite-- he's fuller longer and has stopped trying to inhale everything all at once. These daily weigh in's have become a fun routine for Cappy. He loves running on the scale because he knows a snack is waiting for him. I even put grip tape on the scale so his paws don't slip. I'm so proud of his progress and I think he looks as plump as ever. PS this is a great example of why baseline behaviors and diagnostics are so important!!! ✨✨ so important to advocate for our pets 🐱🐶

No such thing as a chore with cappy by my side #cats #specialmoments #organization #cleaning #holiday

To my rescue dog's previous owners 🩵 happy two year adoptiversary Hadley 🐶✨

Truly don't know how I ended up with such a supportive and caring husband. We don't deserve Scott

I love sharing Cappy's adoption story any chance I get 🥹🐱 #intro #cats #pets #overcomingchallenges

Cappy's monthly hair cut to keep his furballs minimized. As a long haired cat, Cappy has ALOT of fur. And it ends up being ingested by mistake. I always know when it's time to trim Cappy's fur because he begins having frequent hair ball situations from both ends lol. His fur also was a bit dryer than usual.. and more dull than normal. I added a little shea butter conditioning spritz after his quick water rinse (no shampoo this time). The water rinse simply is to help remove the extra dander and fur from his hair cut! If you're new, Cappy has paresis which is partial control of his muscle movements. He has little control of his bladder and bowels but he's the absolute sweetest kitty in the whole wide world. I adopted him in 2017 and he's the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm so honored being able to share our world with you 💗 follow for more daily cappy care 🐱✨🩵

We don't deserve Scott

Cappy's first purrito wrap changed me forever. He trusted me with his care, even from the start, on his very first night in his forever home. I can't believe it's been over 7 years with this little bear. Still feels like yesterday I held you for the first time. I kept you safe then. I'll keep you safe now. I got you, Cappy 🩵🐱

#onthisday giving cappy closure after losing his older brother LeLe so unexpectedly. I let cappy have a moment to grieve with his ashes once they came home. We were so happy to have LeLe home. His ashes remain on our bookshelf in our living room to this day. Always watching over us. Miss you lele #petloss

Sneaky cappy
