In Memory of Wally


Today, our resident orange mancat Evan, and of course the rest of here as well, are remembering beloved orange mancat Wally of The Island Cats. Sweet and handsome Wally made his way to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday, following a battle with kidney disease. Wally was known and loved by many.

No photo description available.

We will never forget you, Wally. No one will ever forget you, Wally. May you rest in peace.

Please visit Wally's family at The Island Cats to offer your purrs, condolences, thoughts, and prayers.

Our Tip of the Day:

Today's tip in our cat health series is plain and simple. We're here to remind you to make sure that your cat has easy access to fresh water at all times. Water intake is of course crucial to a kitty's health, as it is important for proper functioning of not only organs such as the kidneys, but all systems of the body. So, make sure that your cat has water readily available. Some considerations to make include ensuring that your kitty has water accessible in areas where they are comfortable drinking, such as somewhere that is not too heavy with foot traffic, yet also somewhere that they frequent often. You can of course also offer water bowls in multiple areas of the house, something that is often especially important in multi-cat households.

Also make sure that your kitty's water is in a bowl or other drinking vessel that they like. Some cats prefer typical bowls, some cats only want bowls with especially low sides, and some cats might even show a preference for drinking water out of cups or another container with high sides. Also, of course, freshen up that water as often as possible or as needed. Cats can be picky creatures, and some cats might refuse to drink water that is not fresh. In addition, fresh water is also simply healthier overall. To help ensure that water remains as fresh as possible, you could use a water fountain for your kitty. All in all, especially given how important it is for all bodily functions, make sure to give special attention to your kitty's water bowl.

Wally was one of Angel Sammy's first friends and I'm sure Sammy was at the gates to welcome his friend at the Bridge. Wally was a "giant" in the blogging community for years. A most special ginger friend to all. Kidney disease TAKES TOO MANY.

Love, Teddy and Mom Pam
