 | I had to PG the headline this week to avoid all those email censor programs. This is a family-friendly site, after all. Last week, I was so excited by my 16 year anniversary with About.com, that I missed my J-Boys birthday by two days. It's hard to believe that they're now 11.

Review: "I COULD PEE ON THIS"

As soon as I got word that "I Could Pee on This" had been published, and got a look at the book cover, I absolutely knew that I must read and review this book. I won't even try to hide the fact that I love, love, LOVE this book. I'll even go so far to say that, if after you've read my review, you buy the book and don't like it, I'll give you a free copy of my weekly newsletter. How's that for a guarantee? (wink, wink)
| Happy Birthday Jaspurr and; Joey!
 After my beloved red cat Shannon left me in 2001, for the first time in several decades, I found myself without a "Sunshine Boy." It took six months to find one, in the form of baby Jaspurr and his brother, Joey.
Jill, a forum member (later Forum Host) knew I was looking for a red tabby kitten, and emailed me a Petfinder.com story about their litter. The kittens were four days old when I made that fateful phone call, and the first time we were able to see them was when they were 11 days old - a week later.

| Celebrate Tabby Cats in March
 March is one of my favorite months because we feature the remarkable tabby cats then. Look at cat photo collections almost anywhere, and I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the pictures will be of tabby cats. They've been around throughout history, and can be found in many of the most popular cat breeds, including the glorious Maine Coon. Almost all tabby cats' foreheads are marked with that mysterious "M," and there are legends and stories about how that M appeared. Although tabbies are the most commonly found color pattern, in my book, there is absolutely nothing "common" about the tabby cat.

| Poll: How Often Do You Hug Your Cat?
I once saw a web site with a list of all the pet-related holidays throughout the year. I was happy to see "Hug Your Cat Day" on the list. . .then again. . .and again. . .and again. I did a Google search and found at least six different dates listed in one place or another as Hug Your Cat Day. In my opinion, all cats deserve to be hugged as often as they'll tolerate, on a daily basis...read further, vote in the poll, then add your comment to the ongoing list.

Since this is National Responsible Pet Owners Month, some may wonder exactly what it means to be a responsible pet owner. I found it easier to describe ways NOT to be a responsible cat owner to help those with questions. 
This was one of the first articles I published circa 2/20/97, when I was the Cat Lovers Guide, and today, on my 16th "GUIDEiversary" I'm celebrating by
