December is a very busy month for many people as juggling full-time work schedules, planning and/or attending holiday gatherings, shopping, spending time with family, braving the winter weather, and a whole host of other activities that this time of year requires. While there are many things to enjoy and be grateful for, it can also be a season of increased reasons for aches and pains in our bodies. Sometimes fatigue, stress, arthritis, accidents or emotionally-affecting events contribute to the buildup of aches and pains in our bodies and we need to make some changes.

Some of the best things about my cat is that she is loving yet independent and affectionate yet low-maintenance. I think many cat owners can relate! However, although cats are easy to take care of they do need our regular care and attention for any signs of illness or allergies. Yes, cats can and do get allergies! There are four different contributors to allergies in cats: fleas or biting pests, inhaled pollutants in the home, certain foods, and foreign products that the cat may encounter.

For me, poinsettia plants emerging during this time of year are exciting reminders that the winter holidays are upon us! They are beautiful and vibrant and add so much to the home. However, it sometimes seems that the lives of these festive plants are short-lived and many do not make it through the end of the season. If you are one of those people who would love to see your poinsettias last a bit longer, there is good news! With the proper care and attention your holiday plants can last for 2 – 3 months indoors before needing to be planted outside.
