When it comes to cats, they are all wonderfully unique, but there are some habits or characteristics attributed to them that most of us can relate too in one degree or another when it comes to our own feline babies. Since I have eight cats, rather than focus on one in particular, I have devised a generic “24 hour typical day” that provides an average composite of all of them. And please note, this is all subject to change. By the time I publish this post, their habits could have changed completely. That’s just how it is with a cat… once you think you’ve figured them out, they go and change things up on you! Read more

Spaying your female cat, or neutering your male cat can significantly increase their lifespan by reducing certain health risks, infections, and cancers.

February is National Spay/Neuter Month and the importance of spay/neuter as a safe and humane means of preventing pregnancy and reducing cat overpopulation is being championed by cat advocates nationwide, and with good reason. According to the ASPCA, there are upward of 70 million homeless cats in the United States and approximately 5 to 7 million cats and dogs that enter shelters every year, with 70% of the cats needlessly euthanized because the number of these cats far exceeds the number of adopters. When you consider that cats can reproduce at an alarming rate – an unspayed/neutered cat pair can lead up to 5,000 cats in 7 years, it is quickly evident that spay/neuter is essential to ensure that these numbers will not continue to escalate.

Everyone loves Mr. Jazz – and why not, he’s a snuggly, love-muffin, cuddly bear of a cat!!

By popular demand, the elusive, one and only Mr. Jazz will be the subject of our post today. Much like that seldom spoken about, never seen other daughter of the Osbourne’s (Aimee), that is what our Jazz is like. Quite frankly, despite being the sweetheart he is, he does not like the camera and prefers to keep the publicity at a minimum, unlike his feline cohorts who are such camera hogs that they can pose in their sleep!
