Kitty Kaviar

The girls have found a treat that they really love! They’ve always been picky eaters, even in the treat department. But now, forget about the nibbles, the crunchies, the anti-tarter stuff – the sisters want Kitty Kaviar!!!

Kitty Kaviar is parchment-paper thin, dried flakes of Bonita! Pure FISH, there’s no additives or preservatives, just fish. Made right here in San Diego, it comes in a can with its own reusable lid and doesn’t require refrigeration.

It does require, however, storing on a high shelf, behind a door the girls can’t open. I’ve found them with the Kitty Kaviar can on the floor, rolling it around, hoping somehow that they’d find a way to open it, more that once! (Can you imagine all that dried fish spread out on your carpet?)

The first time I purchased Kitty Kaviar from Pet People our closest pet store; I thought it was outrageously expensive. But not so! Because if you give them just a little ‘treat’ at a time, a can of Kitty Kaviar lasts much longer than I’d expected. And Lucy & Ethel, are happy cats!

MedicareD

And this is helping me how???

So far this month, I’ve paid $44 for medications that were not covered by my new MedicareD prescription coverage.

In fact, I’ve had to spend many hours on the phone with my two pharmacies, University Compounding Pharmacy and Galloway’s Pharmacy. At least at both pharmacies I got to talk to real people who not only understood my problem buy empathized.

My dozens of phone calls to Healthnet-Orange produced nothing but stress and anger. Every single time I called, I got a recording stating that call volume was too heavy for them to accept any more calls. Bang, it automatically hung up!!!!

(Excuse me Washington, shouldn’t this all have been ironed out, these providers all set up to go before these plans were put into action???)
