Special Cats
Tango, the Garden Cat
It has been quite a long time since I posted. I'll be sure to share some health and nutritional garden recipes and tips soon, but first I'd like to start back by mentioning my favorite story that has been unfolding in our lives ~ Tango the Garden Cat. Tango is a three part story for all ages to enjoy reading. The series was published on Dave's Gardens international website.
The story was written with a fictional twist, however it is based on a true story.
Tango is a real, small and sweet, feral cat that arrived in our garden. And as it turned out, he had feral friends! The fantastic artwork was created just for this story by a wonderful and talented color pencil artist, Carol Moore. Please thank Carol for her support of feral cats by visiting her web site.
You too can make a difference in the lives of feral cats, like Tango, by supporting organizations that help feral cats. Or even better yet -- so long as you're not expecting a lap cat -- maybe you can adopt and directly help out and save the lives of a feral cat (or two or three!) -- they would be forever grateful.

Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (click image) is published every 5 years since 1980 by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The new guidelines are in the works now and will be released at the end of 2025. Dietary Guidelines provide scienced-based, culturally sensitive, food and nutrition guidelines for people (age 2 and older). Good dietary habits promote health and reduce the risk for major chronic diseases. The guidelines serve as the basis for Federal food and nutrition education programs. Healthcare professionals like myself utilize the recommendations in practice.

Help Feral and Stray Cats
RIP Jazzy boy; Sept. 14, 2022. This once terrified wall climber wasn't feral at all. He just ended up living outside for years patiently waiting to be rescued. Free roaming tomcats can get FIV. Jazzpurr had FIV; he went fully blind in 2021. So glad we rescued this boy. He lived his best life with us.
