I'm Larry Bennett, also known as the Cat Manny. I have been an animal lover as far back as I can remember, and I've always had a special place in my heart for cats.
So why am I called the Cat Manny? That's easy. I've always believed that I have an obligation to provide the best possible care for my kidd-ies. After all, they give us unconditional love at all times, right? So what better way to say thank you, than to give them the best care they deserve.
I've had cats in my life for several decades now. Been to countless vets over the years, and have also taken the time to conduct my own research in an attempt to learn whatever I could to help understand their needs. Especially when they've developed a chronic illness!
Unfortunately, I had been getting conflicting information from not only my own research, but from the vets I put my faith into. I have been overwhelmed with misinformation over the years. It has been extremely frustrating, sometimes to the point of feeling disenchanted with veterinary medicine and the big pet food companies.
With experience as my guide, I implemented a new treatment approach that I had formulated over the years for my cat's Glovie and Motor. Glovie had CKD, hyperthyroidism, and in the end developed pancreatitis. I was able to prolong his life for a few years before the pancreatitis proved way too much for his precious little body to handle. His was a terrible loss in 2022.
Motor has benefited the most from my newer treatment approach, and after a long battle with CKD, hyperthyroidism and in the end, anemia, crossed over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully, just shy of his 21st birthday in 2025. That's 100 in human years! He was my best friend, and his loss is profound.
In summary, the goals of this website are twofold: First, I want to help debunk the myths when it comes to treating certain illnesses like chronic kidney disease in cats. And second, I want to save you, a fellow caregiver, the time, energy, and heartache that I endured along the way to assimilating the information necessary to help prolong your cat's lives.
