A Kitten's Strange Journey

One thing I've learned from fellow pet owners is that many of us have special stories about how we have rescued and found our pets. 

I recently came across an article about a kitten's amazing 70 mile journey and its hopeful newfound home.  Check it out by clicking here.

Do You Have A Pet-Centric House?

As an animal enthusiast, I know how a house can start to look with the addition of each new pet.  Sooner or later, you start to run out of room to put your pet's supplies & your room turns into your pet's room! 

There are some imaginative folks out there who are have pet-centric homes that are both functional and stylish.

Read more about the steps they've taken to work their pets into their homes and see pictures of what they've come up with by clicking here.

Pet Food & Nutrition Discussion

We have a brand new discussion topic on our Facebook page about pet nutrition.  Here's a special message from our fellow cat enthusiast, Dan:

Hello! My name is Dan and I love animals!  I'm also a stickler about the food we feed our 4 legged friends (since they can't make choices themselves).  So I thought this would be a great forum to talk to anyone that has any questions about diet for their cat or dog (mostly cats since this is a cat page). Please note that I am not a vet or animal nutritionist. If I can't answer one of your questions perhaps one of our other fans can. Now lets talk FOOD!

If you'd like to participate or follow along with the discussion, please click here or visit our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/ScoopFree and click on the 'Discussions' tab.  Feel free to interact with others and leave comments!  It's a great opportunity to learn from one another about the latest trends in pet food and nutrition.

It's that time of year when we all make New Year's resolutions. Some popular resolutions are to lose those few extra pounds you gained over the holidays, to become more organized, or to achieve that one goal you've been holding out on.

Do your New Year's resolutions include your animals? Or, do your animals have resolutions of their own for 2010?

We'd love to hear about them! Post on the blog or to our Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/ScoopFree). Share your stories, pictures, & videos!

Remembering Your Pet

"Until one has loved an animal,

a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

-Anatole France.

Probably one of the toughest parts of pet ownership is the unavoidable fact that one day we must part with our beloved pet.  I look back with sorrow to the time I had to say goodbye to my childhood dog.  After fighting a long battle with lung cancer, we had to ease her pain.  When she was gone, I welled up with tears, cried audibly and couldn't comprehend the pit I felt in my stomach.  However, we all go through a bereavement period after such a loss.  Everything seems to remind you of your loved one-pictures, your pet's favorite toy, or even a familiar bark or meow.  At first it's sad, but after some healing, you see those objects and smile to think of the joy that your pet brought into your life.

There are so many different ways to memorialize your pet.  KATSHAT's Dan & Sarah discuss the sensitive subject of pet loss and review Pet Cremains in Glass, which are "portable tributes that can always be part of your life."
