Are you a cat owner looking for ways to improve your furry friend’s health naturally? While we often hear about supplements for dogs, did you know certain mushrooms might also benefit cats? But are mushrooms safe for cats, and how can they contribute to better feline health?
1. Understanding Mushrooms for Pets and Their Benefits
Mushrooms for cats refer to specific types of mushrooms known for their health-promoting properties. Ones like reishi, lion’s mane, and turkey tail come under such variety. Unlike wild mushrooms, which can be toxic, these varieties are carefully selected to provide nutritional benefits for felines. Cats can benefit from these mushrooms in many ways, such as improving their immune system, aiding digestion, and even helping with stress management. Including them in a cat’s diet may help support a healthier, more vibrant life.
2. Boosting Your Cat’s Immune System
Functional mushrooms like turkey tail contain antioxidants that strengthen a cat’s immune system. Cats are known to be susceptible to various infections, so providing immune support is vital. Antioxidants protect cells from damage, helping prevent common illnesses and promoting overall health. For…

Working-class New Yorkers are the backbone of our city; they keep our city safe, healthy, clean, and help us continue to take the greatest city in the world to new heights. These dedicated workers deserve the chance to build a better future for themselves, their children, and their families. This includes securing good-paying jobs, affordable homes, and a world-class education for their children. That is why, from day one of our administration, we have focused on making New York City more affordable for working-class New Yorkers.
We have done this by helping to save New Yorkers more than $30 billion through programs that help them get ahead, like the “Earned Income Tax Credit,” which enables families and working-class people to have more money to pay for groceries, bills, and rent. We have helped New Yorkers in public housing access free high-speed internet and basic TV through Big Apple Connect, and we are on the path to eliminate medical debt for 500,000 New Yorkers — saving them an estimated $1.8 billion.
We have created homes that working people, families, immigrants, and young people need with back-to-back record years of building affordable housing; this includes a combined nearly 29,000 affordable and public housing units just this year. We signed two historic agreements with our partners in labor that allow us to build more and build faster, all while creating good-paying career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities for New Yorkers living in New York City Housing Authority housing or low-income zip codes.
But we’re still delivering for New Yorkers. Later this week, we will continue to advance the generational Willets Point transformation, which will deliver new, resilient infrastructure, the largest 100 percent affordable housing project in 40 years in our city, over 20,000 square feet of retail space, a 250-key hotel, and the city’s first-ever soccer-specific stadium for the New York City Football Club.
Also, this week, the City Council will vote on our historic “City of Yes for Housing Opportunity” proposal that will allow us to build a…

The New York Jets season has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. After starting with dreams of a Super Bowl run, their odds have plummeted to +100000, leaving even the most loyal fans scratching their heads. Mid-November’s heartbreaking 28-27 loss to the Colts showcased flashes of brilliance—Aaron Rodgers was sharp, Breece Hall was dynamic—but mistakes and inconsistency continue to haunt them.
Can this team still turn things around and salvage their playoff hopes? Let us dig in.
The Struggle to Find Consistency
Every Jets fan knows the feeling—you start the season with sky-high hopes, only for the weeks to chip away at your confidence. Right now, that’s exactly where the Jets stand. After opening the season brimming with potential, they have been their own worst enemy, with inconsistency derailing their playoff ambitions.
The loss to the Colts on November 17 was a prime example. Aaron Rodgers showed why he’s considered one of the best, delivering two touchdowns with pinpoint accuracy and a 75.9% completion rate. Breece Hall was electric both on the ground and through the air, racking up a total of 121 yards and two touchdowns. Yet, even with standout performances like these, mistakes—whether it is blown coverage, penalties, or missed opportunities—have kept wins out of reach.
The glaring issue? The team’s inability to execute consistently. In one game, they are clicking on all cylinders; in the next, they are struggling to maintain momentum. If…
