Yes, the holidays can be a challenge when you have a cat in the family, particularly a rambunctious kitten.

| How Cats Love
 It may be puzzling to learn that some of the ways cats show their love might cause us to think just the opposite.
For example, your cat's propensity to claw the arms of your favorite chair is actually a way of demonstrating his love for the person who sits in that chair, according to Amy Shojai, CABC, former Contributing Writer on cat behavior for this website. The photo shown here is of a cat bearing gifts for his favorite human. Now that's more like it, but what if that gift is a pungent dead catfish, like my Bubba used to leave on the floor next to my side of the bed? That sounds like mixed messages to me, but perhaps not.

| Cat Picture of the Week: Captain
 Captain is a handsome six year old red cat, who was adopted from an animal shelter at the age of three. His was sort of an "accidental adoption," as Kim's intention when she visited the animal shelter was to adopt a Beagle dog. The poor doggie turned out to be sick, but after Captain turned on his attention-getting display both times she passed his cage, they both won and he became her happy, devoted cat. Kim recommends having pet health insurance to help cover those unforseen high-ticket veterinary procedures. Great advice - great cat parenting!
