I always find the study of genetics particularly fascinating, especially in the feline world. Zoey had four kittens that were born relatively within minutes of one another and we know without a doubt who the father was. Yet these siblings are as different as the Yin and Yang of night and day, despite that they were virtually impossible to distinguish from one another since birth and often still are. We kept three of them – Mia, Peanut, and Rolz, so all things considered equally at their current age of three, they live in the same environment, eat the same food, and get the same stimulation and care via human interaction.

From the silly to the serious, it’s been a lot of fun following all the Cat-idates the past four weeks in Zee & Zoey’s Cat Ruler of the World Contest and Campaign for a Cause. These creative and crafty kitties entertained us day after day as they hit the political trails campaigning their furry little hearts out for the title and their respective shelter. Even though they are all winners in their own right, as ALL cats are, we need to crown who you voted to be your CAT RULER OF THE WORLD!! Drum Roll, Please…. Read more

Well, despite the fact that I am totally exhausted and it is the day before we announce the Official Cat Ruler of the World, Zee and Zoey have done it again – they have confirmed a Red Carpet Cat Twitter Party date with Gracey the Tiniest Tiger for the upcoming Emmy’s and it will be held this Wednesday the  19th from  5:30-7:00 pm, PST. Hardly enough time to even buy a new leopard outfit… Read more

Harley and Zoey doing what cats do best... nap... To see image in full cuteness, click to enlarge.

Well, the polls are officially closed for Zee & Zoey’s Cat Ruler of the World Contest and Campaign for a Cause and I don’t mind admitting that I am a bit worn out… Votes still have to be tallied and winners still have to be announced, but the campaign itself is over until Tuesday, September 18th when all the results will be revealed.

You take one look at the above photo of Zoey and Harley and you would think they were worn out too… But, truth be told, that picture is the true essence of why cats are smarter than humans. I got not one whit of help from Zee, Zoey, and gang. They were nappers before the campaign was even conceived in my mind, they napped during the ENTIRE campaign, and they will nap long after the campaign is over. Read more

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting weeks for – casting our ballet to elect the Cat Ruler of the World for 2012! For those of you that have already made up your mind, we have the link handy right here for you. But, we really, really, really hope out of respect to all involved in this election that you read the Cat-idates closing arguments BEFORE you make your final decision.

Okay, first of all, we would just like to take a brief moment to pay respect and tribute to all those affected by the tragedies of 9/11. From the senseless deaths of the victims, to the survivors who have to suffer the pain of remembering the day, to even the animals that were left homeless in some cases, wondering when their loving caretaker would come home for the day, of which some who never did, we give a moment of silence to all of you.
