hide-and-go-seek

I played "hide-and-go-seek" with Mommy today. She couldn't find me for ten minutes. She was starting to get anxious because she thought I had gotten outside, but she eventually found me in a very good hiding place, in a box and behind some clothes in the closet.

Mommy didn't find my game very funny, but I sure did ;) And I think Milita was laughing, too!

UV Safety Month

July is UV safety month. I posted a link to my article on summer safety tips last month, but if you missed it, you can read the article here.

Here is a short list of some of the things cat owners should do (or not do) in order to keep their felines safe this summer:

-Always put sunscreen on a white cat, even if he/she stays indoors. He/she can get burned even if she sits in the sun while looking out his/her favorite window. Use a pet approved sunscreen.

-Brush your cat often to remove loose hair.

-Never leave your cat in the car alone. The inside of vehicles heat quickly.

-If your cat goes outside, make sure he/she has access to shade and plenty of water.

Keep in mind that cats can suffer heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and sunburns just like we can. Keep your cat safe this summer by using these tips.

Feline foster parents

I love cats (we all know that), but I could personally never become a feline foster parent. I get too attached to the animals that live in my hone. Feline foster parenting is such an important job, and thankfully, there are people out there who can do it. Click here to read more about what you should take into account when deciding whether or not to become a foster parent for cats.
