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...

A Hairy Home

celticeagle @celticeagle (189838) • Boise, Idaho 18 May

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...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 2 Apr

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...

celticeagle @celticeagle (189838) • Boise, Idaho 23 Mar

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,...

Idioms With Cats and Apples as the Subject Matter

celticeagle @celticeagle (189838) • Boise, Idaho 22 Mar

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...

Cat, Signs You Are a Good Cat Owner, and What I Added

celticeagle @celticeagle (189838) • Boise, Idaho 4 Feb

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...

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...

VieGen Pets

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...

That's MY chair

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 13 Nov

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.
