Useful Feline Health Tips

Posted in Cat

Over the past 15 years, I’ve adopted 7 cats, 4 of which have had health issues. During that time, I’ve learned a lot from our vets. While it’s always best to have at least annual vet visits to catch any potential problems early, I know from first-hand experience that that isn’t always possible. So, I’ve put together this post with some information that can help with some basic issues when a vet visit isn’t possible. For additional, supplementary information, you can take a look at the Veterinary Definitions and Resources page for useful links and information

I want to reiterate that a vet visit is best if you’re able to take your furbaby to the vet. Please don’t take this information as an alternative to a vet. While the information has come from our veterinary office, it was specific to our cats, and every cat is different.

Stanford Pen Studio Model Comparison

Posted in Fountain Pens

Today’s post is a bit different for me, but I’ve been planning it since my first Intwana pens arrived in mid-March. Since the size of the Intwana surprised me, I wanted to share a comparison between Stanford Pen Studio‘s (SPS) original painted pen model, the Jabulani, and their new painted pen offering, the Intwana. But, life got in the way, like it does. Better late than never, though, right?


The models

For those completely unfamiliar with SPS’s pen models the two I’m comparing today are the Jabulani and the Intwana. They are the two models SPS offers with hand-painted and/or hand-drawn art on them. Allow me to share SPS’ own words on each model.

Fountain Pen Rainbow 2025

Posted in Fountain Pens

Happy Pride Month! It’s time for another pen rainbow. I made sure to only choose pens that weren’t in last year’s pen rainbow, which was difficult for the black pen. Would you be interested in seeing another post later in the month with the Bi flag colors? I didn’t get to that last year, but I could do it this year.

Like last year, I’ve included plenty of pen pictures, so this is a bit of a pen porn post, too. I kept the brown, black, and white pens, because who doesn’t want more pen pictures?
