Re: [Felvtalk] Suggestion for Cat (or foot) Warmers
Good idea and possible option. Will see what it takes to put some together and try it for my outdoor dogs.

Snuggle Safes work great too.

Thanks Sara for your input. I wholeheartedly agree and, by the way, well said.

Re: [Felvtalk] Suggestion
Welcome, this is in general a great list! I totally agree - and I've been on the list for maybe 6+ years. I've tried a number of things, and very open to trying other things that come along. We need all the help and suggestions we can get.

It is understandable that emotions can run high..so many have lost precious little lives, sometimes after great expense, hope and ultimate failure. It's the sharing of that experience, receiving suggestions, asking questions.that makes this such a valuable resource for those of us dealing with the everyday joys and setbacks of our caretaking roles. I can only speak for myself, but I truly welcome every suggestion offered. It takes courage to share what can be viewed as "outside the traditional box" therapies. As a user of these posts, I am actively seeking any treatment that might enhance the lives of my little ones. I think we all are. Just my little two cents from SoCal this morning.
