Have you heard of eco/bio flow? magnets??

My cousin started selling them a few years ago, and i have one which i wear daily as i had pain in my knees.....i kid you not, it works....it may be placebo it may be positive thinking but wheni take the bracelet off for any amount of time the knees hurt....put it bck on for a bit they dont...!!! :shocked:

I know that the magnets used are very powerful...there is some empiricle evidnce to suggest that they do have health benefits.....

let me know what you think?

I have heard of it. Shame the cat collars don't have a safety catch otherwise I would have considered trying one. The buckle ones are dangerous - not that Alice does much climbing  :evillaugh: - I am also a bit funny about cats wearing collars. It just doesn't sit well with me.

My pair seem quite fond of the newly completed quilt. (PS, yes the chair needs to be recovered and refinished, but it is not getting any work done on it as the place is still a building site - just in case you wondered about my taste, lol)

she looks sooooooo comfy! im sure it must help!!! :Luv2: xx

Thanks  :) - I really hope so. It is so horrible thinking they might be in pain  :(

I spoke to the vet. He has never heard of these beds but he is interested to know if they help. I think they are Australian. The only thing I was a bit miffed about is they come with a strange 2-pin plug but they have plugged them into an adaptor. I thought it was a requirement for things sold in the UK to have a moulded 3-pin plug. I will look into it.

This is it http://www.easylifeuk.com/thermotex-infrared-small-p-1435.html?osCsid=44hl72eb1arigcsfmsdt14eb02

So expensive for a cat bed but if it stops her being in pain and helps her mobility, it is money well-spent.

Apparently the infra-red is supposed to help with stiff joints by reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow - she is also on Cosequin (thanks Millysmum  :) ) so hopefully we can avoid her going onto Metacam for a while.

Alice in her new infra-red bed. I think she approves  :Luv2:

It is actually bigger than it looks in these pictures.

She was sleeping until she heard me - but I decided to post anyway  :evillaugh:

I love it when they stretch their back legs out like that  :Luv:

Cats are so relaxed when they sleep (or just doze).  It's the way they relax every muscle in their body and just seem to melt into whatever they're lying on.

Orion would deny it of course but he sleeps with a stuffed toy (his breeders said it had to come to the UK with him as he loved it so much  :evillaugh:) and it is just so cute to peek through his window and see a rather large cat stretched out in his dog bed with his cuddly toy between his  front paws  :Luv:

Soooooooooo where's the photos!!!!?????   :naughty:

In the cooler months I tend to wake up and find Lirael using my arm as a pillow and sleeping wrapped up in the blankets with me.

It always makes me melt as she looks so sweet.

Definitely. One of my favourite pictures of Jack in the one in my signature that Rosella took when she collected Noni B. I love that photo.

It would take a braver person than me to kiss Charlie on the tummy. Poppy yes, Charlie definately not. :evillaugh:
