Cholestrol and Cats
Cats (Wordpress) &bull Aug 30, 2010
When I was little, around the age of 4 to 5, my mum would wake me up at about 7am to go to (pre) school. I had always been a sleepy head and never liked waking up early so mum would coax me to get up by putting me on her back and carrying me from my bed to the wash basin. I remembered she would sing a song to me in Chinese that opened with the lines, "bei zhuo de xiao wa wa", which means "carrying a little doll on your back". Or something. Many, many months ago, maybe… Full Story »

It's Said That If You Blog About Your Cat
Cats (Wordpress) &bull Aug 27, 2010
If I were going to eat my cat, I would braise her with red wine and juniper berries. However, I decided to *wash* her this week rather than eat her: she's been in a funk since the move and isn't really grooming herself. Given a choice, she might have preferred to stay home in a nice fragrant braise administered by me, rather than leaving the house in the rain and riding in the scary scary car, then being subject to a wet and… Full Story »

10 Reasons to get a Cat
Cats (Wordpress) &bull Aug 24, 2010
This is dedicated to my lovely big boy, Joe. He was rescued from a garden in Barking, London, after his owner died and her family left him in the garden to survive on his own when they sold her house. He lived in the garden for four months, in the cold, rain and wind with no shelter. The Chestnut Cat Sanctuary took him in after a neighbour brought him there. He had cuts to his ears where he had been attacked by other cats. The sanctuary fed and watered him, they really are an extraordinary charity who give cats a… Full Story »

Rub a dub dog: Which shampoo makes the grade?
Pet Connection &bull Aug 23, 2010
One of the reasons my husband and I chose Australian Shepherds as our breed of choice some twenty odd years ago was because their coats have been described as "wash and wear." After having German Shepherds and then Papillons - neither of which can be considered wash and wear - I wanted a breed that needed less grooming. I know some people who enjoy grooming; I'm not one of them. When my Aussies get wet, dirty or even muddy, I let them dry and then brush them. They are then as clean as if I waved a magic wand over… Full Story »

Guide for New Owners - Start Here
Cats (Wordpress) &bull Aug 22, 2010
One of the most attractive aspects of kittens is that they are undeniably cute. They are little furry bundles that beg to be stroked and played with, and all but the coldest of hearts cannot help but submit to their will. However, this cuteness soon wears thin after the first few times your kitten has used your living room as a toilet. If you allow this to continue it will not only cause your home to smell like a toilet, potentially embarrassing… Full Story »
