Today's giveaway is courtesy of Janice Garza who is giving away a pawtographed copy of the book Dear Sparkle: Advice From One Cat To Another to one lucky reader of this blog.When cats have problems, who can better help them but another cat? That's why Sparkle the Designer Cat published a book to help distressed felines deal with the issues their humans couldn't solve (or perhaps caused in the first place). Whether it's food stealing, territorial disputes, or toy trouble, Dear Sparkle: Advice from One Cat to Another answers each meow for help in true cat-to-cat fashion. A cute and funny book that both cats and humans will love.
Winner, Hollywood Book Festival, Wild Card Category
Honorable Mention, New York Book Festival
"Sparkle is most definitely the Dear Abby of the feline world."
-Quasi, author of The World Is Your Litter Box

Info for the cat with pancreatitis:
Veterinary treatment is always necessary in cases of pancreatitis but herbal and homeopathic remedies are quite beneficial to the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. One of these is Milk Thistle. It is a high-powered antioxidant; removing system toxins at the cellular level, thus alleviating the cats symptoms.
Burdock is also an herb for the treatment and future prevention of new attacks of the ailment. Burdock has antibiotic and blood purification properties.
A bio-chemic tissue salt called Nat. Phos helps break down and digest fats in the system.
Nat. Sulph helps with liver detoxification, which is a contributing factor to pancreatitis.
Holistic experts also agree that the best diet for cats with pancreatitis is a raw diet. The belief is that processed foods are damaging to most animals, if not people too. The cat's anatomy is one good argument for a raw, meat-based diet. Cats have sharp teeth, short intestines, and their digestive secretions are highly concentrated. This is indicative of a cat's natural need for a diet of raw protein. Slowly add fresh, raw, unprocessed food into the cat's daily diet, and simultaneously reduce a bit of the usual commercial food. Vary your cat's diet, but be watchful for allergic reactions.
Exercise on a regular basis aids digestion and reduces boredom and stress.
Grow some cat grass to keep in your home for your cat that naturally chooses the grass to induce vomiting and rid itself of hairballs or other toxins.
Adding some green sprouts to the cat's diet is another option.
