Oliva's story

Oliva is siter to Maya. They both were born to Lilith and as such are related to Bagheera which in human terms would translate into B's nieces.

Oliva is a large female cat. An imposing girl that would not mingle and is quite the independent lady so no picking in the arms allowed.

She has definitely aged gracefully. This house does not allow for safe wanderings and so after a few months out I decided to keep her inside. She came home with a straw in her eye and I simply didn't want to lose her out there is this not so cat friendly place where we now live.

She is not exactly happy with this ofc. But as I write she is in her thirteenth year and I consider her senior age is for enjoying none stressing non fighting times.

She will have to cope with this and unfortunately some siblings she's rather never meet. But so far she is doing well.

The Royal Garden Tour
Read the story

His Majesty loves a garden. Sadly, some gardens do not love him back. Here are ten plants that can seriously poison a cat.

Ten: kalanchoe. A cheerful houseplant that can upset the stomach, and in larger amounts, the heart.

Nine: tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. Especially the bulbs. Digging is not a hobby, Your Majesty.

Eight: azaleas and rhododendrons. Pretty. Toxic. Next.

Seven: autumn crocus. It can damage the gut, the liver and the kidneys.

Six: yew. Found in hedges and parks. Its leaves and seeds can stop a heart.

Five: lily of the valley. Tiny bells. Big trouble for the heart.

Four: foxglove. Beautiful spires, and one of the most toxic plants for pets.

Three: sago palm. Very popular in Mediterranean gardens. It attacks the liver.

Two: oleander. It lines half the streets in Spain, and every part of it is poisonous.

And number one: lilies. For cats, the most dangerous flower of all. A nibble of a leaf, a little pollen licked off the fur, even water from the vase, can cause kidney failure.

If you think your cat has chewed or touched any of these, don't wait for symptoms. Go to the vet immediately, and take the plant with you.

Want some greenery? Try cat-safe plants, like spider plants and Boston ferns. His Majesty approves. Mostly for napping.
