Tabby’s Place: an opossum sanctuary?
You might think so if you happen to glance into Suite B. That’s because, when the light shines just right on one of our weirdest residents, she looks like nothing so much as…an opossum. That’s our Babs.
FDA Warning about Vetsulin (r)
Just a few days ago, the FDA issues an alert about Vetsulin®, a type of insulin created for cats (and dogs). We have quite a few diabetics at Tabby’s Place. Most of them use glargine, but two of them were on Vetsulin. I suspect some of you have diabetic cats, so I wanted to make […]
Angelina at the pizzeria*
I would most definitely eat antipasto twice just because she is so nice: Angelina. And, the way she swoons for her dry food, Angelina would certainly be content with a regular gig at the pizzeria. But for now, our zaftig love-bug remains, inexplicably, in Suite A.
(Under the) couch time

Update on the Peachable One: rewinding
