Sweet Beautiful Cats

SoulMates is delighted to meet and care for Samantha and Penelope

Cat Toys From Reused Household Items

Each of my cats has their favorite style of toy. One of them goes crazy for paper products like cardboard boxes and crumpled newspaper, while the other prefers to play with anything resembling a stick, like pencils or pens. So if your cat doesn’t seem interested in one toy, just give another a try.

What if Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day

So how does one celebrate Opposable Thumbs Day? Roy recommends, “Get on your knees and give thanks that your pet doesn’t have thumbs!”

Letter to pets

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

RIP William 1-1-10

I am so sad…what a great cat. I was doing cat visits myself when I first met him I use to carry him around like a baby patting him on the back…all 20 some pounds of him. He loved it!

Dope for Cats

Catnip is a mystery to many people, but it’s actually a very common perennial herb that belongs to the mint family labiatae. Though catnip is native to Europe and Asia, it’s become naturalized in the U.S. and Canada and is now so widespread as to be considered a weed in parts of North America. The type of catnip that most cats like goes by the scientific name Nepeta cataria, but more than 250 other varieties of the herb exist.

The Cat-astrophic Cat-alyst

But then, with no warning, I felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to leave. Call it karma, coincidence, sixth sense or ESP, something told me to leave immediately. GO HOME. NOW! Unable to define the eerie sensation, but powerless to ignore it, I literally dragged Amanda to the car and sped toward our house, totally disregarding speed limits, barely pausing at red-lit intersections as that vague, but insistent feeling poured through my every fiber.

Cats hate water…right?

Black Cat Balderdash

In a society driven by statistics, I am unable to provide an absolute number, but based on personal experience and reports from cat-fancying friends and acquaintances, there is a marked increase in the maiming, disappearance and even destruction of black cats this time of year. Coincidence? Perhaps. Occult rituals? Possibly, in some cultures so inclined. Cruelty? A definite probability. Stupidity, superstition and outright ignorance? Unfortunately, even in this age of enlightenment, a very real and horrible likelihood.
