Happy Caturday! This is Hobbes, being distracted by a toy mouse at his first vet visit.

Today our friend Chesty from Lawrence High School (Kansas) came in for his annual physical exam with Dr. Hanson. She noted some scarring on his eyes (likely from playing a little too rough) and recommended that he cut back a little bit on the pizza, but other than that gave him a clean bill of health. We hope he enjoys his new toy mouse!

We hope everyone is staying warm this week!

We're closing a bit early today due to the weather. Stay safe and don't believe your cats if they say they want to go outside! 😺❄️

It’s not ok out there. Cat Clinic of Lawrence is closed today due to the weather. Please stay safe.

Our Practice Manager has a bet going with her husband. He says the tree will stay standing for, at most, 24 hours. She has faith in Shipwreck and says the tree will last all season. What do you think?

Dr. Hanson helped a kitten out!
This is Poppy, who is 8 months old. Until yesterday Poppy had wheezy, snoring-sounding breathing ever since her owner adopted her. Yesterday, Dr. Hanson pulled a big ol' polyp out of her nose, and now she can breathe like a normal kitten.
Young cats can develop benign growths (polyps) in their nasal cavity that cause snoring, snorting, and wheezing -- kind of like having a wad of gummy bears up your nose. The only way to fix it is to pull it out (under anesthesia, of course). A photo of Poppy's polyp is in the comments. It was more than 1 inch long, which is very big compared with the inside of a kitten's nose!

Pip is celebrating Adopt a Senior Pet Month by going to her new forever home today! Our loving pal has finished her internship here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence and is off to new adventures with her very own personal servant... we mean, caretaker. Our Hospital Attendant, Lorenzo, has taken great pains to create a Pip-friendly space at his own home. We'll miss her demanding little meows, but we're so excited to see her reign supreme as the sole feline in her new domain!

Happy National Black Cat Day!

"I swear, that one's not mine!"

Who'd have thought that on Atlas' stud retirement party (neutering) day, he'd get to meet a little smidgen of a marshmallow who looks kinda like him? We wish them both a speedy recovery.

Today is the first day of Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week - a week to celebrate the knowledge, expertise, and effort that credentialed veterinary technicians bring to our industry. We have one Registered Veterinary Technician here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence: Andrea has been loving your furry family members with us for almost 10 years, and we're so glad to have her on our team! While most of Andrea's work is behind the scenes, she's a powerhouse of organization and preparation. Here's to our a week of recognizing all that Andrea brings to the Cat Clinic of Lawrence!

Today is Pet Obesity Awareness Day. Yes, it can be an weighty topic, but over half of household pets in the United States are overweight, and that's a hefty problem! The Purina Lifetime Study found that dogs live an average of TWO YEARS longer if kept at a healthy weight versus allowed to become heckin' chonkers. We don't need a full study to figure out that there's a similar situation with cats. If your furry pal is on the portly side, don't despair. We can help - just ask our floofy pal Pip! She's lost another fraction of a pound and, as we like to say here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence, "baby steps are still steps."

09/30/2023

Make the trip less stressful for them, and our jobs easier for us!

09/23/2023

It's all about Pip!! She's lost over 2 pounds since joining the Cat Clinic team, and boy, does she love posing to show her progress! However, she was not amused when we applied her monthly Revolution Plus. Everyone needs their parasite preventatives, silly girl!

A note from the Practice Manager:
As we come to the close of a roller coaster of a week here at the Cat Clinic, filled with back-to-back tragedies and miracles, I feel moved to reach out. I am fortunate to work with an incredible group of people, serving a wonderful population of cat lovers. The bonds that I see daily, both already existing between cats and their families, and blossoming as Cat Clinic staff grow to know and love our clients and patients, warm my soul, and fuel my motivation. We will celebrate with you. We will grieve with you. And we will walk the road of healing -- every frustrating, spit-out pill and peed-on pillow of the way. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to love your cats with you.

Meet Cosmo, a 10-year old neutered male Himalayan. He is looking for a soft place to land for his retirement years. His owner loved him dearly, but his living situation changed and the new arrangements included a dog that was not cat-friendly, so Cosmo is bunking with Dr. Hanson until he finds the purrfect permanent situation. Cosmo had a Great Dane buddy in his previous home and tolerates other cats, so sharing a home would be ok, but he would do fine being the center of your attention. He's very cuddly and gives head boops and makes biscuits all the time. His blood work looks very good for a 10-year old, but he could use a dental cleaning (which we are trying to get done before he goes to his new home).
Are you interested in giving this big snuggly smooch a soft place to land in his retirement? If you are, please reach out to Cat Clinic of Lawrence or Dr. Hanson.

You may have heard about "Take Your Cat to the Vet Day" on Tuesday, but we all know that if everyone took their cats to the vet on the same day, NONE of us would be happy! Here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence, we prefer to spread the love around and take our time with each patient. If someone needs a little coaxing and "bribery" to come out of their carrier, that's just fine with us! Here, Paige gives miss Moolah a special treat to get her comfortable with coming out into the exam room.

08/22/2023

It's weigh-in day for our resident diva: Pip has lost 9/10 of a pound since joining our team here at the Cat Clinic! She's really working towards that beach bod at a nice, healthy pace. Losing more than one pound a month wouldn't be safe so we're all happy with her progress, including Pip herself; she LOVES her new prescription Metabolic diet!

Did you know that bats are one of the most likely animals in the United States to carry rabies? Within the past month we've seen 3 incidences here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence of indoor-only cats exposed to bats that got inside their homes. No cat can resist chasing a MOUSE THAT FLIES! Rabies can spread from a bat biting a cat, but also from a cat biting a bat. If you see your cat playing with a bat, DO NOT touch the bat, and contact your vet as soon as possible!

Seriously, Pip? What's with all this lounging around? We've got work to do!

Pip checks our work. Gotta make sure everything is clean enough for her Highness!

07/21/2023

Hello, friends! We'd like to introduce the newest member of our Cat Clinic staff: Pip! Pip has just come on board as a seasonal member of our hospital team. Her role is to love on staff, lose weight, and get her business back in the litter box. After she's completed her term here, Pip's ultimate career goal will be to find a home that can continue to support the special lady she is. We'll keep you posted on Pip's progress as she moves onward and upward!

06/24/2023

OK, so we didn't celebrate "Take Your Cat to Work Day" in the traditional sense, since most of our cats would have gotten a leeeeetle bit jealous watching us love up on our patients. I mean, come on, some of the kittens we see here are just SO DARN CUTE!

06/18/2023

It's World Internet Cat Day!
When we're not loving on your cats (or our own) in real life, you can be sure we're laughing at funny felines on the web! What are some of your favorite cat memes?

06/14/2023

For World Pet Memorial Day, please share a story or image of a cat (or cats) who made a difference in your lives. We would love to remember them with you.

It is an extremely cute Friday here today...

Sweet Gracie had a rough week! As if major surgery and a piece of string passing through her entire GI system wasn't enough, she also had pancreatitis and was treated at three different hospitals! Here at Cat Clinic of Lawrence, we were lucky enough to be the last hospital she stayed at before Gracie got to go home to her loving family. Here's a couple of things we'd like to point out from our video: First, Gracie's pupils are wide because she's feeling the benefit of a common kitty pain medication that causes that side effect. Second, yes, she is sitting in her litter box (there is also a second box and a potty pad in her kennel). Cats usually feel more secure if they can hunker down inside a box or bin, so we gave her more than one option for where to sit, hide, or do her business. Third, as she's looking around, pay attention to the hand extended in Gracie's direction. See how we wait for her to decide she's ready for attention? When she moves in for petting we are ready to comply, but the contact being her choice is a really big deal. Keeping our cat patients as comfortable as possible is super important to everyone here. That's why we keep a quiet atmosphere, use pheromone diffusers, and even avoid heavily scented soaps and cleansers in the building.

In honor of Specially-Abled Pets Day, enjoy this video of Practice Manager Linda's tri-pawed foster kitten MoonPi meeting his first ice cube. Go MoonPi, go!
