Goliath moves like a wild cat. Before he slowed down with age, he needed to be outside to be truly happy. He loves to run, climb, and even sleep in trees like his bigger cousins in the wild! Early in the year, Goliath was diagnosed with the strange sounding "long-term anemia" and slowly developed a habit of incessant scratching. Nobody quite understood the connection but the scratching started to deteriorate into painful wounds. What’s a cat dad to do?

The holidays are in full swing, and you can practically hear sleigh bells on the rooftops. Or maybe that’s just your pet! Along with the festivities, winter brings incessant jangling from pets who can’t seem to shake that itch. The drop in temperature can send cats and dogs into an itching frenzy that gets on a pet parent’s last nerves.

If you own a cat, you know that scratches can happen when you least expect it. They might be accidents, such as when your cat’s rear claws scratch your legs when it leaps off of your lap, or they could be intentional, often a product of your cat feeling stressed and needing to protect itself by clawing.
