Oh my heavens! That’s fantastic and I’m so happy for kitty. I know that many dog owners use eggshells for their dogs and I love that your vet thinks outside of the box for holistic remedies! As always, your comments make such a contribution to our community.

Thanks, Rita!

Hi Lynne,
This is such a coincidence to see this information on your blog today.
My cat has recently developed a kidney disorder and requires extra calcium. She refused to eat her food with the Rx supplement and was losing weight. Nothing would induce her to eat.
The vet this week recommended I grind eggshells to a very fine powder/flour-like and mix with water into a slurry.
Blend the slurry into her food.
Bingo. Cat is eating and eggshells are proliferating in my kitchen. Most of all I’m thrilled. Cat now eating & doing well. And I’m saving the $40 for the jar of supplement.

In reply to Norene Barker. Thanks Norene, We have given Operation Gratitude boxes in the past, as well. It is a great organization.

Hi Lynn,
May I also suggest Operation Gratitude? They make gift boxes for active duty service people, and have different ways to help. I knit scarves & hats. Be care, however, the size of items is very specific. They know how much they can get in a gift box!
Thanks, as always for your time & dedication to those of us who need your help!
Norene

Hi Astrid, I did the same thing for the longest time. Then I remembered my food processor! Bingo!

Happy Composting!

I realized as I dished out my compost that eggshells staying intact was certainly true so they went into my kitchen compost crushed in my hands which I’ve done for years much to the horror of visiting children. I will try your method next.

Gail, do you just sprinkle them around the cabbages? I’m not familiar with that use, but will surely employ it in my battle against destructive critters. Thanks for sharing.

You can also use eggshells as a deterrent to cabbage moths in your garden. An old wives tale that I’ve tried with success
