  • Multi-Cat Households - The Pros and Cons

    Cats were once considered to be solitary creatures but we now know many cats are in fact sociable to a greater or lesser degree and thus may benefit from interaction with their own and other species.

    The term 'nutraceutical' was coined to represent compounds found in food and herbs that are not technically considered nutrients (such as vitamins or minerals), but which may have a profoundly beneficial impact on the health of the body.
