One of our favorite forest creatures is the raccoon, such as the youngster pictured above. He is one of a family of five who visit several nights a week, looking for peanuts, which I provide for our bluejays. However, I am always conscious, that, cute and appealing as they are, raccoons pose certain dangers to cats. Learn more about raccoons and cats, as well as the other creatures who comprise 11 wildlife dangers to cats.

Cat Picture of the Week: Karamel and Rhapsody

Kathie's husband runs a warehouse, and they rescued Karamel and Rhapsody from there, along with their siblings. They found good homes for the other kits but chose to keep the two boys as family members. Although the kittens were not adopted from a shelter nor from a cat rescue group, in this case they qualify for Cat Picture of the Week honors, since their adoptive humans did indeed rescue them. Now that we have three Cat Pictures of the Week for January, You can see all of them in the new 2013 Cat Pictures of the Week Picture Gallery.
