This is me getting personal with you, dishing out my opinions, rants, book reviews, and so on, straight up and uncensored!

You guys rock!

CatCentric Posted on March 13, 2017 by Tracy DionMarch 13, 2017

Ollie.

I’m so excited, I just had to share with all of you!

As you may know, CatCentric is 100% supported by donations, either through direct contributions or through the affiliate links on our Shopping page… and, ho boy, did you guys go shopping last month!

Last month, you generated almost as much in affiliate commissions as you did for all of last year, and this month is on track to be even better!!

It costs hundreds of dollars annually to execute CatCentric’s mission, and every penny you raise means more owners educated and more kitties on the path to good health. This is my passion – my life, really, since Ollie died – and I can’t thank you enough for everything you are doing to help!!! God bless every single one of you!

What’s up with multi-pet owners treating their dogs better than their cats?

CatCentric Posted on May 22, 2016 by Tracy DionMay 22, 2016

One of my biggest pet peeves is people – smart, caring people – who feed their dogs a fresh, wholesome diet, but continue to throw down processed, nutritionally substandard products for their cats. What is the deal with this? Why … Continue reading →

CatCentric Posted on September 20, 2015 by Tracy DionAugust 8, 2016
