I run a website for cats with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and associated conditions. I try to help with case studies, research and treatments. I also try to help pet parents deal with the immense stress and confusion that goes along with it and sometimes even the grief and loss. This website was created after I lost my beautiful soul kitty, Alex last year. She fought the good fight and we thought she was going to make it. But she died very suddenly and it ripped my heart out. It's now my mission to help other animals with this condition. She guides me everyday to do the best I can to help other animals.

I would like to thank Senator Ted Kennedy for his amazing service of 47 years in the United States Senate. The amount of people I've met recently who's lives were changed or helped through his efforts and kindness is astounding. If any of us could live a life that holds so much respect for our fellow human beings, the world would be so much better for it. Teddy is a perfect example of how we need to forgive others their shortcomings and yes, large mistakes in life. Sometimes we humans do learn from them and do our best to try and make the remainder of our lives mean something. His legacies are many but that one in particular resonates with me. We as humans do some terrible things but we can change if we really want to. Good for you Teddy and thank you!
