My cat lived 16 of her 22 years in our home where we diffused and used the brand of EOs you mentioned. We had one occassion where she really got sick...those essential oils were a game changer. She lived an additional 5 years with great quality of life. I love how Murray loves the supplement. Such a pretty cat! My cat loved when I added a bit of warmed, filtered water to her wet food. Thank you for all you share. You rock!

I just found your channel...oh my, how helpful. I’m going to get coconut oil tomorrow, and rub some on his back..he’s a little itchy. He has been on prednisone for several years (a little scary) and 2 years ago he got diabetes. He is a total member of our family and we treat him as such. He hates wet food, but we have given him some different kinds every night hoping he will like it...well finally almost 2 years later we found a food he likes. He gets 2 shots a day of Lantis. 4 units each. He is still playful and he seems ask him everyday...lol.
He turned (approx.)14 years old in Nov 2018. We think...as all our cats over the years (my husband and I are both 70)he was a stray that came in our back door and never left. Thank you so much for your videos, I love Murray, and your soft encouraging voice. Didn’t mean to write a novel here, but I see people donate, but I didn’t exactly know what for...just someone said they will donate. If we can be of any help, let me know. We are also retired and are on a budget, but if you need funds to help pets or whatever....we are from Canada, so maybe also explain how to donate.
Thanks again, this video was awesome.
Sincerely, Linda

I enjoyed your video but concerned that the tin wasn’t opened all the way. I heard a vet say he’s seen several stray animals cut from trying to get food out out tins and cutting themselves so I always squash any sharp edges and rinse thoroughly before throwing it away, same with tuna, etc.

Just moved north and it's very dry weather so my cat scratched chunks of fur off of herself cause of her dry skin. Thanks for the help!

[blueflowers]

Thanks! This really helped me as a first time cat-dad

[Noted]

Appreciate the info. Getting a humidifier and some fish pills asap. Thank you 🙂

Oh Murry, I miss that spicy boy 😿! He was such a cutie. Reminds me of my spicy kitty Jaspurr 🥰

[lelleithmurray]

Murray sounds like a good natured cat.(besides, I'm kind of partial to the name😉😉!)

[Remyboyandhismommy]

I use coconut on my cats and myself too. Murray is such a good co-host lol.

[JanieStevens]

You are the absolute best! Thank you cause I was a tad bit worried but it’s not as bad as I thought. 😊

[crystalrose]

Murray's Fur would be a good band name

Clicked on this because I thought the guy was Steve Irwin 🤣

Added coconut oil to my cats diet today after watching this! Thanks!

[jackiesicilian]

Thanks, how long adding coconut oil should we see results?

[veronicasalas]

Yes I would be happy to be a patreon! It will be a small monthly donation as I am retired and on a budget but I so appreciate the work you do. You’ve helped me so much with my pets 🐶🐶🐱👍 I will pledge on the 1st when I get paid. Thank you thank you 😊

Thanks for this! My 13 y/o cat has been on k/d dry for nearly 1 year now. My vet switched her after her labs came back with slightly elevated kidney enzymes. She did not mention renal failure stages. It is hard to get my cat to eat her food. We have to feed in isolation because our other cat bullies her out. I'm going to try some of the wet and see how that goes. I notice no change in her outward health appearance. I'm going back for her yearly labs in 2 months. She's also very chubby and will not play. I'm now grooming her more to help her where she cannot self clean. Her skin is also very dry and sensitive. I'm hoping to address all of these with some food and lifestyle changes. She is my heart, and my first pet after I moved away from home. Thanks for your tips! We are going to make some immediate changes this week! Thank you for all you do for animals! ❤️❤️

'Years of postsecondary education hard at work" Glad it's not just me!

My cat got chin acne from eating out of a small round bowl. Now I use flatter bowls and plates. Just a tip because Murray's bowl seems very small for him. Thanks for all your videos!
