Buffalo Chickpea Salad (My cat loves Daiya!)

Hi everyone! The new recipe I tried this week was the buffalo chickpea salad from My cat loves Daiya! Normally I decrease the hot sauce in a recipe, but this time I went with the full amount, and it was perfect! 


I used some in a sandwich; it made a lovely lunch

Served with chips and pickles.

Another harvest… 


Here’s an Inktober sketch… 


This week has been a bit stressful; long story short, there were several vet visits (including an ultrasound at the emergency vet), and Leela was diagnosed with IBD. The vet wants her on prescription food to help with her digestion, but Leela’s appetite hasn’t been great and the new food is bland (kind of the point, but still), so she’s on an appetite stimulant and allowed to have additional non-prescription food for now. Knocking on wood, she’s eating better today, so I’m optimistic that things are improving. Here are some pictures of Leela from this week… 





Peace. :)

    1. Thanks so much, Hillary! Leela has been eating a lot better the past few days (especially yesterday!), so I'm starting to slowly transition her onto her special food today. Thanks for the hugs! <3

  4. Oh sweet Leela! I hope she picks up her appetite soon. Feel free to message me if you need to talk anything through, I have dealt with a lot of IBD cases with my clients. But sounds like your vet is on the ball with everything. <3

    1. Thank you, Susan! Leela's appetite picked up earlier this week; the last time we gave her the appetite stimulant was Saturday, and we haven't needed to give it again! Today she's at a 50/50 mix of her old food and her new food for IBD. The vet wants her to finish taking the steroid that was prescribed and then wean her off it, so fingers crossed everything continues to go well! <3
