We got her from a cat foster home after she was abandoned. It was love at first sight. She is a loving lap cat and gets along great with her buddy, Music who is 2 years old. Mandy is a mix of Maine Coon and Persian. - © Cathy R. Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. (I do not accept photos submitted specifically for "Cat Picture of the Week.") Mandy's picture is also featured in the December Cats Gallery. You may send your own photo, using the guidelines on the Photo Submittal page. Be sure to write a paragraph or so about the cat, at least two or three sentences. Our galleries have space for 2500 characters, including spaces, so don't be afraid to tell us about your cat within those parameters.Saturday December 16, 2006 | permalink | comments (0) Help Homeless Cats During the Holidays -------------------------------------- It's still not too late to do a little something to help homeless cats in shelters and rescues. If you'd thought about buying a cell phone case, or tree ornament for a friend, some of the agencies listed in bullet #1 have expedited delivery. On the other paw, Homelessness knows no holidays, as far as the cats are concerned, and you can actually do all of these things year-round. The winter holidays are a very personal time, which we set aside for enjoying our family, close friends, and of course, our cats, who are also treasured members of our families. But it is a time of year when our universal homeless cats could use a little extra love, too. Here are some ways you can demonstrate that love: * Buy Humane Gifts for Your Loved Ones I've received the gifts I purchased, and they are of wonderful quality. The fact that they are helping support the cause of homeless cats makes them even more meaningful to the recipients and to me. * Buy some Kitty Blankies for your own cats, or for shelter cats. Fondly known as "Lance's Blankies," these are the softest, cuddliest blankies any kitty has ever experienced. I purchased a number of Lance's Blankies for gifts last Christmas and will do so again this year. Lance and his lovely lady, Laura, donate every penny of their profit from blankie sales to a neighboring no-kill shelter, along with donations of blankies for the cats at the shelter. You'll also find some very beautiful jewelry on their site, handcrafted by the talented Laura. * Buy a gift from the Crazy Cat Ladys Society All profits are donated to Best Friend's Animal Society * Shop at The Siamese Store Proceeds go to help support the Siamese Rescue Center Read more... Saturday December 16, 2006 | permalink | comments (0) Oh Give me a Home Where the Cats (Do or Don't) Roam --------------------------------------------------- Well, in Oak Bay, B.C. the council, in a split vote, decided that a proposed bylaw amendment for fining cat owners who allow their cats to roam, would be excessive, according to the Oak Bay News. The resident who proposed the bylaw was worried about health risks associated with cat excrement. Opponents pointed out that the cats are performing a service by keeping the Oak Bay rat population at bay (pun not intended), and homeowners who are concerned about cat feces can use other means of discouraging their trespassing, such as animal repellants. What's Your Opinion? Would you support a similar law? Cast your vote in the poll. Friday December 15, 2006 | permalink | comments (7) Cats & Their Pets Picture Gallery --------------------------------- Brand New Cats Picture Gallery For centuries, cats have been happy to live in harmony with dogs, rabbits, goldfish and other domesticated critters, as these pictures with attest to. However, cat lovers all know that a cat is the sole owner of his or her household and every living being who resides in it. The typical cat will look at the household dog and think "Mine!", which should surprise no one. Enjoy these photos submitted by readers of cats with their "pets," then submit your own photos of cats living in harmony with the pets they love, using the information requested in the Photo Guidelines. Please use "Cats and Pets" as the subject of your email. Pictured here is little Chepita, who lives in Peru with her dog Perla. Photo © M. Isabel Bruce Thursday December 14, 2006 | permalink | comments (2) Essential Oils and Cats: A Potentially Toxic Mix ------------------------------------------------ Aromatherapy, potpourri, and the use of essential oils have been popular for decades. What kitchen hasn't delighted visitors with the fragrant scent of apple pie spices, whether from the oven or from a pot of simmering potpourri? Recent introduction of "Plug-in" room fresheners has made it easier to keep your home smelling fresh, and essential oils such as peppermint, simmering in a colorful potpourri mix, add pizzaz to the holiday ambience. But how safe is that peppermint potpourri? In recent years, compelling evidence has accumulated that essential oils can be toxic to cats, whether taken internally, applied to the skin, or simply inhaled. Learn more, and read the labels to make sure that plug-in does not contain potentially harmful essential oils.Thursday December 14, 2006 | permalink | comments (0) Hot Forum Topic: Most Affectionate Cat Breed -------------------------------------------- Yours truly posted: I got an email this morning from someone who asked me to make a "Top Picks" list of the most affectionate cat breeds. Obviously, "Moggies" will be at the top of the list. But I'd like input from people who either have purebred cats or have experience with them. I could check the profiles from each registry, but personal experience is always more meaningful. Feel free to post your comments here, or join the forum discussion.Wednesday December 13, 2006 | permalink | comments (22) Photo Call: Comical Cats Pictures --------------------------------- While we all know that cats think of themselves as "gods" and above our all-too-human enjoyment of the funnier things in life, there's no denying that at times cats can be outrageous comics. Our Jaspurr will sometimes, out of the blue, race around the room with his tail curved up at the base, then fly onto a small cat tree, sometimes sending it crashing into the slider. We never fail to roar at his antics, which brings out even more of his comical activities. (Who says cats don't have a sense of humor?) The accompanying photo reminded me that we need a Comical Cats Picture Gallery. As an example, this is Blondie, a male Himalayan cat, doing his impression of "Air Blondie." You needn't limit yourself to "flying cats" photos, though, but send me your best examples of comical cat pictures. The only thing I don't want is "staged" photos, i.e. cats wearing silly hats, etc. They are always the best, just cats being cats at their funniest. Oh yes, you should know the drill now, but if not, you must observe the Photo Guidelines or your picture won't be accepted.

It is not scratching, it's more like kneeding bread. What's that all about? My wife is fascinated by this behaviour, and has to know why! Please Read my Reply before posting your comments.Wednesday December 13, 2006 | permalink | comments (1) Top 10 Gifts for "Crazy Cat Ladies" ----------------------------------- Female cat lovers are the easiest people in the world to buy gifts for.
