 | Many exciting new changes are in store in coming months, following About.com's annual conference this past weekend. The first, effective immediately, is that those of us who write for About.com are no longer called Guides. This term has always been confusing, but now, we writers are now called "experts." You'll see this term reflected soon on all our documents. Happy October! This is Black Cat Month, so rejoice, black cat lovers, and be sure to submit your black cat's photos and stories!

Last night I woke up to my Jenny, atop my head on the pillow with both paws holding my temples, as she groomed my hair. It can be amusing to see a cat racing wildly all over the house, then suddenly stop, lift a hind leg in the air, and meticulously lick each hair of his inner leg. Learn much more about cats' grooming habits, and when, if ever, you should worry.

Lex is a little cutie, and I loved this photo of him nodding out in the sunny window. One would never know that he is sixteen years old now. He and his littermate sister live with their human catmom in Northern California, and were adopted from a friend in a neighboring city when they were just kittens. Lex has learned to be a charmer. He has taken the title of Speaker of the House away from his sister, and throws in cute little tricks and expressions, which gain attention from the humans he adores. Read more about this loveable little guy.
