Cat Breeds


We choose our cats based on different characteristics such as fur length, fur color, eye color, size & demeanor.  But do you choose your cat based on whether or not he can catch vermin, alert you of intruders or swim to retrieve items from the water?

In the past, that is what some cats were bred to do!  Check out Catster's cool article, 'How Cat Breeds Were Created'.

Tell us what kind of cat you have and what your favorite cat breed is!

Unusual Delectables!


When I was a child, I spent summers outdoors.  My mother would shoo my brother and I outside with our dog, Lucky, into the hot and humid afternoons.  We 'spray painted' Lucky with shocking colors of hot pink, neon green, and neon yellow spray chalk.  We let her chase us around the yard, only to be beaten by her swift gait.  And we seemed to think she loved it when we fed her bugs that we dug up as we attempted to make a 'pond' in our backyard.  (Needless to say, the pond idea didn't come to fruition.)

How About a Little Game of Cat & Mouse?


Cat saliva makes mice cower in fear.

Don't believe me?

Then check out the new scientific study that explains how the special sensory organ in mice detects the proteins found in a cat's saliva.  When the organ detects these proteins, it sends a signal to the brain to be fearful.  Okay, so the BBC folk can explain it better than I can.  Check it out here!
 
What does your cat have to say about that?!
