All New and Updated Product Guide

We first launched our product guide three years ago, and have kept it updated since, but it was starting to look pretty dated, and it was time for a face lift. Allegra and I  have worked very hard on updating this guide for the past couple of weeks, and Allegra made sure I included all of her favorites.

Our guide features all of the best products for cats and cat lovers. From cat furniture, scratching posts, beds and toys to food dishes, fountains and litter boxes, you’ll find everything you ...

Why Your Cat’s Vet Records Are So Important

Your relationship with your cat’s veterinarian is one of the most important relationships in yours and your cat’s life. This relationship should be based on trust. Honest and open communication is important not only to ensure that your cat gets the best possible care, but that you understand every aspect of her care. Your vet will keep a detailed medical record for your cat.

Sunday Quotes: Laughter

Did you know that one minute of anger weakens your immune system for 4 to 5 hours, whereas one minute of laughter boosts it for 24 hours? If ever there was a time when we need to laugh, this is it!

Try to find some thing to laugh about every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I’ve been watching all ten seasons of Friends* for the past few months, and even though the show is now  more than 20 years old (how is this even possible!) and I’ve watched some episodes so many times I can practi...

Mews and Nips: Tortie Kitten Insists on Staying With Foster Family’s Son

When a litter of three-week-old kittens was found on a baseball field in the Bronx, Sunny, a local animal rescuer, took the kittens home. There was no sign of the mother cat. One of the kittens, a tortie, quickly took a special liking to Sunny’s son. She wanted to be held and cuddled by him, and if anyone took her away from her favorite person, she showed a hefty dose of tortitude even at her young age.

Giveaway: Petlibro Automatic Water Fountain

This giveaway is sponsored by Petlibro*

Last week, we reviewed the Petlibro Automatic Water Fountain, and today, one lucky reader will get a chance to win a fountain!

With so many fountains available, it can be difficult to determine quality. The two main things I look for in a fountain are that it needs to be easy to clean and easy to operate, but I also want it to look good and be quiet. The Petlibro Automatic Water Fountain hits all these marks.

Allegra’s World: It’s My 11th Birthday

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! I’m eleven years old today!

Mom says she can’t believe how fast time goes by. When she looks at me she still sees the seven-month-old kitten she brought home more than ten years ago. The photo below shows me a few days after I came home.

This birthday is bittersweet for Mom and me. It’s my first birthday without my little sister. I know Mom is going to make this day special for me, and we’ll have a piece of tuna cake and remember Ruby together. Well, I will have tun...

Remembering Ruby: That Time When the Girls Went Fishing

As I’m mourning my beautiful little girl, the memories keep flooding in. I still miss her terribly every day, and memories are sometimes comforting, sometimes painful, but that’s as it should be when you’re grieving a loss. One of the things I miss a lot is “writing” the spirited exchanges Allegra and Ruby had on occasion, so I thought I’d share one today.

Allegra and Ruby were very excited when we received the Gone Fishin’ Cat Tent from Triple T Studios, and they decided right away that they ...
