Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without...

Last August, I was contacted by a British production company making a special for National Geographic called Wild Side of Cats. The program looks at the behavior of domestic cats and examines how that compares to big cat behaviour in the wild.
The production company came across a video clip that I shot of Allegra testing theImperial Cat Scratch n Shapes Sofa Scratcher Chaise. I always knew Allegra was a world-champion scratcher, but apparently, her technique in the video clip is so perfect...

Guest post by Joseph J. Wakshlag, DVM
For the cat parent looking for commercial raw and ultra premium cat foods, there are plenty of choices, and lots of claims to wade through. Since these foods are often more expensive, how do you read the labels correctly and make sure youre getting the right food for your extra cash?

Today marks the third anniversary of the day I had to let Amber go. She died after a sudden, brief illness, most likely a virulent strain of the calici virus, complicated by an underlying heart condition we werent aware of at the time.
It was the first time I had lost a cat so suddenly. The cats that went before her had long illnesses Feebee had lymphoma, Buckley had heart disease so I not only had time to prepare myself for their eventual passing,I also didnt have to make medical decisions...
