Lastnight our two younger cats, Colbert and Finn, had a dizzy fit fight. Hissing and fighting. They have never done that before. They have had a hiss or two but no real fighting.
Then later Colbert, the vocal one, got the...

I tend to forget this about hair: We shed about 100 or more hairs each day. About 90% of the 100,000 hair follicles we have are producing new hair at any given time. The other 10% are in a resting phase called telogen. Hair falls...

I have always had cats in my life. I have never bathed one of them. I can see where some situations would need a bath. When our two younger cats (Colbert and Finn) got hurt their wounds had to be cleaned continually so they nearly...

I am doing a few chores then I am off to order some glasses and go to the hospital. Hopefully they will release Bob this afternoon.
I feel lost and unfocused with him gone, and so do the cats. I wanted to strip the bed, but...

They like being out in the early evening but I need them to come in so I can go to bed.
They came in long enough to grab a fast snack and then they snuck back out the door while I was coming in from going to the car.
Bob is...

Poor kitties. They have it so tough. Having to walk up to go eat and then from their food dish back to their favorite napping spot. It's tough. But what in a cat's life really annoys them the most? Such things as loud noises,...

I find it rather amazing that so many of the idioms we use a lot have either cats or apples as the subject matter. Here are the ones I found so far:
Apples:
* Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
* An apple a day keeps the...

People like anthropologist, Sabina Magliocco have been trying to figure out where this idiom originated. She thinks it may have started as a way of children teasing shy ones. "Did the cat steal your tongue?" "Is that why you...

It went like this: "Here are 13 signs your cat thinks you are annoying......". So you know I had to read on. It seems that if your cat flicks its tail, avoids eye contact, flattens their ears, thumps their tails or.......well,...

….And it’s only Wednesday.
This has been an off-week for various reasons. For starters, one of our senior cats -Piper- needed to be put down on Monday. She’s been sick and going through treatments/appointments for a while now....

It's National Love Your Pet Day. I know it's difficult to find ways to show our animals love and consideration, but they sure deserve it. Look at what they put up with from us humans. They have to show us how well they can chase a...

I love cats. I enjoy their addition to my home existence. I think that they are such opposites from dogs in that dogs seem so dependent on their owners where a cat could take us or leave us. If we aren't feeding them (we do) then...

Grace. Last week I was finally able to get some cat toys for her. Two of them she loved, and shoved under the door so she can't reach them. Now the other cats, on the other side of the door, are playing with them.
There is one...

It is warm but foggy out today. Bruno went outside.
Just a bit ago I heard "someone" crying. I went to the door, Bruno came in, and the crying continued.
I looked on the front porch and there was a young cat. When it saw me, it...

In 1955 when Disney opened, they were quick to realize there would be a rodent problem. Today over 200 cats roam the grounds. They have permanent feeding stations, and they also receive spaying, neutering and vaccinations...

I always do, it is a habit.
We have some other good and yummy things as well.At my brother's house we...

I've grown up around cats and have always had in my life. In the past years I don't like them on my bed or too close to me. Not sure why although I feel more sensitive to their fur and makes me itch. Also, when they walk on my it...

Have you heard of this place? It's in Texas and they clone animals. It costs $50,000 to clone a dog. I believe it is the same price for cats although one article said cats were $25,000.
They take DNA and inject it into a...

The boys like to take my chair if I am not in it.
Bob came in and told me "You've GOT to see this." So I took a picture.
I seldom get to sit in my own chair.

When my student is not well or did not sleep well he stays home. Sometimes I check in to substitute, today I came home and took a leave day.
I have requested to be replaced, for several reasons. The first one is that the student...
