Cats can truly inspire and uplift us, especially when are experiencing difficult times. For the Warren family, Ting is not just a cat, she is a part of the family.

She also shares very personal memories about her beloved father who passed away unexpectedly and a bit too soon. For anyone who has ever experienced the painful loss of a parent or close family member, this is a story that will warm your heart as you step into the world of the Warren family.
A Pacemaker For A Cat?
Just how far would you go for your fur baby? When Ting begins to experience fainting spells, Lissa discovers that Ting is in dire need of a pacemaker. Interestingly enough, pacemakers are more commonly placed in canine patients, but have been placed in cats and ferrets. Pacemakers are actually one-size-fits-all so for cats, it can be a challenge.
The pacemaker is about the size of a silver dollar.
