I haven’t posted anything lately, as I’ve been spending more time working other CatCentric projects, but I have such exciting news to share. Last week, Dr. Karen Becker of the Mercola website hosted a week-long focus on my favorite subject (guess!) and I was chosen – along with Dr.’s Lisa Pierson (of CatInfo) and Jean Hofve (of LittleBigCat), and other equally recognized leaders – to be one of the experts interviewed. I’m so grateful and excited to be a part of such a wonderful celebration, and humbled to be included alongside such amazing and talented experts!

Best of all, we discussed a topic that is near and dear to my heart: feeding fresh food to our kitties!!!!

Celebrating Cat Week with me today is Tracy Dion. Tracy is 52, a military veteran, and a grandmother with two lovely little granddaughters.

“Probably like everybody watching, I’ve adored cats all my life,” says Tracy. “When I was young, I worked heavily in rescue with all kinds of pets — cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and rabbits. It really didn’t matter. But about two decades ago, I narrowed my focus to just cats.

In 2007, I began helping owners who had behavior and nutrition questions on online forums. In 2011, I founded the educational website CatCentric, and shortly thereafter, the CatCentric Facebook group, which now hosts over 11,000 members. I write for a variety of magazines and spend several hours a week helping cat owners. It’s one of the most satisfying parts of my life.”

Tracy and I met virtually when I came across a beautiful soul who does a wonderful job coaching cat owners through the ups and downs of caring for their animal companions. The services Tracy provides through CatCentric are invaluable.

‘Feeding a Balanced Fresh Food Diet Is One of the Most Critical and Beneficial Choices We Will Ever Make for Our Cats’

When I decided to include her in my Cat Week interviews, I asked Tracy what topics she feels are most important to cat parents today, and she had a very quick response.

“I wanted to start with one of my absolute favorite topics,” says Tracy, “and that’s feline nutrition, specifically feeding a fresh diet. Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health. It affects every aspect of a cat’s life, even behavior. Feeding a balanced fresh food diet is one of the most critical and beneficial choices we will ever make for our cats.
