Hi guys! I want to
thank all my Bebelievers who have followed me over the years. I have taken my job very serious representing
myself as a beautiful fun frisky feline educator. The most fun part was being beautiful, as it
came so easy. Today I am letting you
know that Bobbi, whom many of you have met as she perches herself upfront
rubbing herself up against any and all clients that walk through the door, will
be taking over my blog for me. I know
she will do a great job as she carries on the feline education for the
clinic. I have been recently diagnosed
with kidney failure and not doing so great, but today is not a day to be sad,
today is a day to celebrate. No tears
shall be shed for me. I want everyone to
break out the cat nip, squeeze cheese and tuna fish and party like its
1999. As I turn over the torch to the
Boisterous Bobbi, I want to leave you with this quote “Life is not the amount
of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away". FYI cat nip and toy mice = those
moments! You should try it. Once a Bebeliever, always a Bebeliever,
remember that! I’m on to the Rainbow Bridge for many more adventures guys. I
will be watching over you from a warm dryer in the sky.

Proheart 12 Has Arrived!
It’s been a while guys, but something has come about that I
want to shout from the roof tops, or should I say from the top of the warm
dryer where I am laying right now.
PROHEART 12 is finally here!!!! Means nothing to me as a feline, but all
my dawgs from the block can benefit from this.
So I have found it seems to be human nature to be forgetful. Definitely human nature, because I remember
everything. Like I remember back when
the clinic decided to get a new clinic cat Bobbi and then I could hear all the
clients talking about how friendly she is and they all ask what happened to her
tail, yeah I remember the day I was told I am getting a bunk mate. Anyways,
these humans don’t mean to, but they do forget things from time to time and why
should they have to remember to give a heartworm prevention pill or treat each
month when they can come in and get one injection and be done for the whole
year?
So these are the fast facts as I see it. One injection lasts one whole year!!! It only
takes one mosquito to cause heartworm disease and your pet could die. The
lovely people here at the clinic decided why don’t we give the clients a
savings and came up with the idea to charge for 11 months of prevention, yet
you get protection for 1 FULL YEAR for your best friend. Then to throw the cherry on top of this sweet
deal, the company Zoetis the makers of Proheart 12 has Pet Rewards and you can
get $20 back on a credit card to be used for anything here in the clinic. That means, you can buy food, put it towards
an exam, refill a prescription or if you really wanted to, you could buy treats
for me and reward me for my fabulous education, LOL. They don’t call it a Rewards card for nothing.
Just kidding, I work for free, but you
could buy some treats with your rewards and take them home and make your pets
work for them.
Come on in guys, get your dawg protected with Proheart 12
today!!!

Two Cats On A Dryer!
Season’s greetings my dear friends. Today I get talk to you with my new side kick
by my side, Bobbie. I’ve always wanted a
brother or sister to lay around with and do, well frankly, do nothing
with. My wish came true! Santa really is
real and just happened to come early this year.
Dr. Lorenz had a cat named Bobbie, (because she is a bobtail), which I
was told I do not get to make fun of her stub, and Bobbie stayed outside living
a care free life enjoying the breeze, chasing the birds and well just being an
overachieving athletic kitty. Then one
day Dr. Lorenz noticed she was not feeling well and brought her into the
clinic. She was having some kidney
problems and was not feeling so well.
She stayed here for probably over a month, which in cat months is what I
like to call a really long time. She received fluids and treatments and finally
was doing better and to my surprise one of the girls here asked since she has
been here so long, can we keep her? Dr.
Lorenz actually said YES! They were
afraid we wouldn’t get along, so for weeks they only let one of us out at a
time. This is not what having a sister
is supposed to be like, me watching her walk around getting all the attention,
I was not a happy camper. Then one day
someone decided, let’s see how they do together and it’s all history from
there.
Bobbie is now my partner in crime. What can we do to be mischievous? Unlike me,
she likes to get out and take a stroll around the clinic and I am not usually
one to fall into peer pressure, but I got to say, I saw her being adventurous
and so I decided maybe I too might want to rub my scent in other areas of the
clinic. However, this girl is crazy! When she sees people walking into the bathroom,
she sprints down the hall to join them.
WHAAAAT!?! This is where I draw the line, I can wait until they get out,
lol. When she is not visiting the humans
during the potty breaks, the two of us can be found on a regular occurrence
warming up side-by-side on the dryer enjoying one of our many naps a day. The best part is, I will get to spend my
Christmas and New Years with a sister this year J. Maybe if we are lucky, this will be the year
we actually get the mouse I keep asking for each year and nobody seems to
deliver on. I promise if I get a mouse this year, I WILL share. We could play mouseball together. That’s like football, but instead of a
football, we will use our mouse. I’ll go
long and Bobbie will throw a hell Mary and I’ll catch the mouse, cross the goal
line and I’ll be the MVP. I can hear the
roar of the crowd!!!!!
Well I hear Bobbie calling so I must go now. I hope everyone has a purrrrfect holiday and
they get everything they wished for.
Don’t forget the temperatures are dropping and we need to take care of
our outside fur family and make sure they have a warm shelter. As well, it is very important that I mention
again that outside animals sometimes seek shelter under the hood of the cars,
so please knock on your hood before cranking that baby up. I leave you now with reciting a familiar poem
to you that unfortunately in my world is so true. “Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house not a creature was stirring, NOT EVEN A MOUSE. Never mind, I will stop there until I get MY
mouse. Merry Christmas Ya’ll!

Back to School and Staying Cool
We are entering that time of the year when I see the parents
are getting giddy about the school year starting back up. They get to ship their kids off to a daily
babysitter, the house gets quiet and they don’t come home to dishes piled up in
the sink. I get it, trust me there is a
reason I am spayed, I don’t have time to be cleaning up after little fur balls
that don’t respect a clean home. During
the hustle and bustle of school shopping and pulling your hair out looking for
manila paper, don’t forget it is hot out there and us animals might need a
little extra care. Make sure the water
bowls stay filled. I am a glass half
full kind of girl, but I have to say I prefer good fresh water filled to the
brim. Be sure you don’t leave dogs out back too long because in these
temperatures it doesn’t’ take long for a heat stroke to happen. If you like to take your pups for a car ride be
sure you do not leave them in the car unattended. Thank goodness I don’t have
to do car rides!!!! Sorry, got a little
side tracked there, anyways, did you know that if you leave your dog in the car
not running when it is 95 degrees outside it takes only 10 minutes to get up to
114 degrees and in 30 minutes it will be a whopping 129! Wheeewww that is too
hot for this girl wearing a fur coat all year round! I have a tip for you guys
walking your dogs during this summer heat.
If you press your hand on the concrete for 7 seconds and can’t stand it,
neither can your dog paw pads. Between
10am and 5pm it takes only 35 seconds to cause second degree burns on your pets
paw pads during these summer months. When it is 87 degrees outside the asphalt
will be 143 degrees. I know here in
Texas we see 87 degrees and we think “Yeah, a cold front just came through,” however
to a dog’s paws, that is not the case.
So on a side note at the end of the summer you should call your local
pools around town because many of them offer dog days of swimming. Notice I said dog days, if someone tried to
pack me up, put me in my two piece that I rock so well and took me to the pool,
they might just walk away looking like a tiger after I leave stripes all up and
down their arms with my claws. I’m just
saying I may or may not be scared of water and no floaties do not remedy the
fear, just sayin’.
So good luck to all you parents getting your
kids school shopping done, may you find every school supply you are looking for
at the first store and may you take solace in knowing peace is coming very
soon. My last bit of advice, when you
look at that school list and you think to yourself, why am I buying the teacher
copy paper, dry erase markers or paper towels, shouldn’t they buy these things
themselves, just remember this is the woman/man who will teach your kids each
day, but most importantly these are the people who will keep you from coming
home to a dirty house and screaming kids.
See when you look at it that way you are probably thinking to yourself
“Where can I buy a case of copy paper?” So
that’s all I got folks, time to fit in another cat nap. Have a cat-fabulous day and I will talk to
you soon.

Red, White and Blue Tips Just For You!
Kaboom!!! Are you ready to celebrate this Independence Day? Yell it from the rooftops and tell people how
proud you are to live in this great country of ours. Mingle with your family, stuff your face
(that’s my favorite part), and light up the night sky. This is my kind of holiday! If you are a firecracker like myself, you
will celebrate until the neighbors come by and say “Enough is enough, some of
us have to work tomorrow.” Of course I
don’t have to work, well other than looking good I don’t have to work the
following day, so I say it is once a year, have a blast people. I will live through all you guys considering
the fact is, I will be here in the clinic tucked away in my little condo. I do love to hear the stories the following
day from the humans about all the beautiful fireworks they saw and I lick my
lips as I hear them talk about barbeque, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and
potato salad, oh my! Can you make a plate for this girl?
However, as always I am an eduCATor, so I must fulfill my
duty in informing you of how to celebrate safely. I know as fun as this holiday is for the
humans, it can be quite stressful for some of my fellow four-legged
friends. Some of the pets out there may
require prescription medications to help sedate them, which you can pick up
here from the clinic. Some may say they are scaredy-cats, but I don’t like that
term because, HEY, many of them are dogs you know. Why do we have to label it
as if it is just cats??? Either way please make sure your furry friend is not
overly stressed. I always advise to lock
the pets up in a room so they don’t get scared and dart out into the night of
brightly colorful skies. And if you
happen to have an Uncle Joe that thinks blowing stuff up is fun, please keep an
eye on this guy. This is the guy who
ends up losing his eyebrows. No fun 4th
of July ended with someone saying “That was really cool when we set the house
on fire,” so please take precautions to be safe. Lastly, I know how bad I would like to
partake in your yummy feast, but remember many of these foods are not good for
us furry bundles of joy, so please make sure the pets cannot get into the food
or beverages. Let’s face it, we are
quick and by the time you catch us sneaking a bite or two, we will flee so fast
you might question if you really saw a cat with his paw in the ranch dip and a potato
chip hanging out of his mouth.
So as I let you go so I can take my 5th cat nap
of the day, I want to quote Pete Marshall and give you a little wisdom. “May we think of freedom, not as the right to
do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” Happy 4th of July guys, please be
safe! Kaboom!!!! And just like that the Queen Bebe is gone!

Bebe's Cinco De Mayo Flea-esta!
It’s Cinco De Mayo Party Time! I love to celebrate with the bright colors,
the festivities and great music. I might be what you would refer to as a party
animal. Yeah, this girl is full of
jokes. What I don’t want at my party is
ticks or fleas. We can dance until the
sun goes down, but don’t bring any ticks or fleas with you or I will send you
packin’.
Let me tell you a little story about when I use to run with
the fleas. These fellas are not who you
want to hang with. They will suck you
dry, live off of you and have no remorse.
In addition to this, these little guys will host parties of their own
deep in your fur and scurry around making you itch like crazy keeping you up
all hours of the night. They think this
is really funny to annoy their host or in my case hostess, but I see no humor
in their shenanigans. Then they go invite their unwanted cousins over which are
worse than them. These cousins of
theirs, refer to their gang as ticks.
These ticks think they are showing hospitality when they leave you with
diseases and anemia. I don’t want their
hospitality, nor do I care to socialize with the likes of them. If I didn’t make myself clear, I will spell
it out for you, if you want to come to my party you better be F-L-E- A and T-
I-C-K F-R-E-E!
My humans here at the clinic, they understand not getting
hooked up with the wrong crowd and help me out every month by giving me
Revolution so I don’t have to fight the fight.
My dog friends around here use many other products including Trifexis
and Nexgard to keep the fleas and ticks at bay.
Best part about these products is my humans at the vet clinic know how
strongly I feel about this subject, so to do their part, they help their
clients save on all three of these products.
If you buy 12 months of Nexgard with Heartgard you can save $50.00. If you buy 12 months of Trifexis, you can
save $50. If you buy 12 months of
Revolution, you can save $35.00. So now that
you are in the know, you can grab your sombrero, put on your dancing shoes and
come party with me. It’s sure to be a
super-cat-tastic time.

I stand firm on NO to heartworms!
Hey Guys, sorry I’ve been gone so long. I’ve been napping a
lot through the winter and just when I think spring is here, we get yet another
cold spell. Good ol’ Texas, you never
know what you’re going to get. Wish I
could say that about my kitty feasts, but every day the same thing is served. They say the food is therapeutic, so I guess
my humans do know best. Anyways because
it is “supposed” to be warming up soon I figured I should take this opportunity
to talk about something dear to my heart, heartworms! I say it is dear to my heart, because if I
didn’t receive my monthly heartworm prevention, I could get heartworms. Did you know that there is no cure for
heartworms in a cat? Sudden death could
occur if I was infected with just one heartworm!!! Meowsers!!!!
I wanted to go over some important facts to educat you. Yes, I know how to spell, but today you will
not be educated, you will learn facts from a cat which translates to
educat. See it’s not just good looks,
all though I certainly am not lacking in that area as you can see. So here we go, grab a pen and take notes
folks.
1.
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitos. We all know mosquitos might as well be the
state bird here in Texas. Due to our
weather, we typically have mosquitos all year round in Texas. Let’s not forget
mosquitos are indoor/outdoor nuisances, so it is important that all cats and
dogs receive prevention.
2.
Again I repeat, there is no cure for heartworms
in cats. One heartworm can be fatal.
3.
The expense to treat a dog for heartworms can
cost from $1400-$2500.
4.
Treating your dog for heartworms can be
uncomfortable and painful, not to mention the strict confinement for a month
after each of the two treatments.
It is less expensive to be proactive than reactive. Man when I rhyme like that, I just sound
smart! It is best to protect your pet than to lose the bet. See, I did it again, lol. I love this stuff.
Anyways, we live in Texas, so I beg you, please give your cats and dogs their
monthly dose of heartworm prevention.
There should be no excuses. Can you come up with a good reason not to
protect your faithful furry friend? Does
the cat have your tongue? No, the cat
does not have your tongue, there is no good reason. Look, my humans here do everything they can
to save you money on the different heartworm preventions and they go as far as
to send in rebates for you, so get in and pick up some heartworm prevention
right meow and save a life.
