Fwends, this is Dori *wavy paws* with a vewy serious pawblic service announcement.
And before yoo get all excited that I've given yoo purrmission to go get drunk on alcoholic beverages like Long Island Ice Teas and Mojitos and Tequila Sunrises and Moscow Mules... I'm not. Like I said, I'm talking serious stuff here.
If yoo are experiencing severe warm outside, yoo might be in danger of being dehydrated without realizing it.*paws on hips* I’m speaking to yoo, Daddy!
Here in FloryDa we are suffering with high temperatures that pwevent me from enjoying my Catio. And because we can’t enjoy outside we are all stuck together inside. With a crowd of purrsonalities like we have, it’s pwetty dicey on who’s going to get up in someone else’s bizness and have a dissygreement.
Anyway! I'm not here to talk about soshallizing dissygreeable fur sibs. I'm talking about Dehydration and it's vewy serious. Yoo can die! Or mess up yoor Day by lying in bed sick when yoo could be having fun.
When ChauncieMarie (18) and Opie (16) were diagnosed with kidney disease they got prescription noms. And Momma started adding Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Supplements HydraCare®
to their breakfast noms. She also adds a little to my bowl and everyone else’s just to make sure we are getting enough liquids. She also adds a little water to our bowls. I’ve tried to tell her that’s overkill but she ignored me… like she knows better than I do. So sad.
I’m not an influencer for Chewy or Purina’s HydraCare. I just care about yoo my frens, and want yoo to enjoy a nicely hydrated body.
Yoo can buy HydraCare on Chewy - 12 3oz pouches for @14.99. One pouch is a lot when adding to our kitty bowls - Momma gives most to Opie and ChauncieMarie, then squirts some in my bowl and the others. It’s a pwetty orange color - like salmon soup! And tasted delicious! All 13 of us love the taste.
Okay. Yoo now know what to do. Drink lots of clean water. Water is best - avoid sugary drinks and alcohol as they don’t hydrate yoo.
<heavy sighs> The heat is now getting to me, even indoors cuz I’m lying in my window hammock. Time to close the shade and have a nice cool rest on the bed.
Love yoo all! Dori

ReplyDeleteWe have several fountains going and Momma has to refill every other day!
DeleteHydration is so very important for all of us. A great post.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect day and week. My best to your mom. ♥
Momma sends her Hello!
DeleteDear Dori your momma knows what's best fur all of you. Good fur Lynn to read about the Hydra care incase some day it must be purrrt of my diet. I am a furry good girl and after ev-furry helpin' of my dry food I drink. (I also am a great belcher). The man who rubs my belly got dehydrated last month and Lynn felt bad but also got furry angry with him 'cause he KNOWS better. Precious
ReplyDeleteThat is very good advice, Dori. It is not hot here but I still drink lots of water. Gin and tonic too because then it looks like I am drinking even more water!
ReplyDeleteWe make sure there is fresh water indoors and outdoors but we notice the outdoor kitties wold just as soon drink out of a puddle ! At least they are staying hydrated.
ReplyDeleteBrian loves his HydraCare and so does Simon! Yes, stay hydrated everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt's yummy in our tummy too!
DeleteThank you for the reminder. I bought some of that for Joanie and I keep forgetting to give her some.
ReplyDeleteDori, you sure are a wise kitty. We agree that it's super important to stay hydrated, especially during these hot months. We've all (Ava and Mom and Dad, too) been drinking lots of water and doing our best to keep cool. XO
ReplyDeleteAnd don't go "in" the water ... we read it is super-hot, so no swimming allowed. Besides, it's shark week, but that's another story ...
ReplyDeleteWe have been reading about the terrible heat all over the place. Amazingly, we are having a cool and rainy summer in the part of France we live in. #1 is actually wearing a sweater, and we don't have AC! We hope that things will cool down for you soon.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
Makes me all the more thankful that I'm an indoor-only kitty. Mom drinks so much water anyway I'm surprised she doesn't travel with her own portapotty. She's always hounding dad to drink more water because he's always bitching about his muscles cramping up without notice. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my momma does that too. She bought Daddy his very own water bottle but do yoo think he uses it? Noooo.
