What is lard anyway?

Besides the dirty little secret of chefs everywhere, it's basically animal fat. So, here's my formerly tubby cat, Purr--now thin thanks to feline hyperthyroidism--and in need of...well...fat.  Living in Texas means you have access to things like a TUB OF LARD, so what better way to get his scrawny little hiney round again.

Maybe it's not the pinnicle of healthy calories, but it's gotta be better than the evil BPA-lined cans Purina uses in their crappy commercial cat food.

Little cat trusts big horse

This morning's bareback ride on my horse Red Rabbit started with a little grazing while my cat, Mister Purr, lounged by the paddock. Red walked right toward him and past; I was amazed Purr didn't jump up or move away.

That's a lot of trust.

This friendly, faithful cat has come back from death's door several times, and is now dealing with feline hyperthyroid issues.

If we could all be so strong and brave.
