It turns out that several feral cats live at the stadium and come out aft...

Review: Litter-Lifter Litter Scoops and Handy-Holder

litter-lifter-litter-scoop

When it comes to litter boxes, cleanliness truly is next to godliness. Cats are fastidious creatures.

seniors-foster-cats

A  University of Georgia study is bringing senior citizens and cats together to explore the benefits of pet companionship.
