Whiskers and Wanderlust: From Japan's Cat Haven to Grooming and Hiking with Feline Friends

Elizabeth's daughter, Lindsey, joined Danielle and Elizabeth on this episode. Lindsey is a cat lover (of course!) who recently returned from a trip to Japan. She talked about the cats in Japan, where to find them, and who feeds them. It was a short segue to talk about Max and his favorite blanket, and Lindsey's experience helping with him last winter over the holidays. She also brought up Lily, who was totally cat stand-offish until they took her to vet, where she got her lumps of stegosaurus fur shaved off of her back. Lily associated that relief with Lindsey and regularly asks her for pets now!Danielle talked about Thor and his fur issues, and how she's getting him ready for a trip to the groomer again. Elizabeth recalled Max's experience with a groomer and having nail caps put on when he was scratching himself raw. Unfortunately, he found a way around them and still was able to scratch. They talked about different ways to administer medications to their cats, Danielle has a tried and true method. The conversation moved to chipmunks in the house and what they eat, among other things. They also talked about a cat available through the Pet Adoption Network, her photo was put on Instagram by Tommys Cats Rescue, which does trap, neuter, release work with cats. They talked about taking cats hiking, some people do it, but wow!
