 | I'm determined that by March 15th, my cats' veterinary needs will be all under control, although they will still need medication for chronic conditions. That is the least I can do for their many years of love, companionship, and trust. January Cat Pictures of the Week Nag: The entries are still just dribbling in, and some forms do not show the kitten's name anywhere. I can publish a "No Name" Adopted Shelter Kitten Show and Tell, but I can't select that one for Cat Picture of the Week. #shelter kitten nag Connect With Franny:

Is Your Cat a Secret Drinker?
When I called my vet last week about Joey, the last think I expected to hear her say was, "It could be that Joey is a secret drinker." What the--?"

We had taken Joey to the vet a few days earlier, as we were concerned that he had not been eating enough and that it appeared the he was becoming dehydrated. Dr. Jamie had given Joey IV fluids, and sent us home with the remainder of the fluids for subcutaneous drip, along with a tube of antibiotic ointment for conjunctivitis. Dr. Jamie's comment about cats as secret drinkers made perfect sense once she explained. To learn more about secret drinker cats and about cats' need for water, read "Is Your Cat a Secret Drinker?"
| 7 Ways We Bond With Our Cats
Longtime cat lovers may know of more than seven ways we bond with our cats. An immutable link among people who love cats is our lifelong bond with cats. In fact, that bond is so strong that it lasts beyond life itself. One of the strongest ways this bond presents itself is that our cats provide us with therapy when we need it most. Even the smallest thing, such as the way feel of a purring, vibrating warm body under a hand at night can bring on sleep, is therapy in the way only cats can give. Let's examine the 7 ways we bond with our cats in more detail. I suspect many readers will be murmuring "yes!" as the story unfolds.

Perhaps your cat has started to pee outside the box, and you are beside yourself. Or maybe your sofa is starting to look shredded and threadbare, and you're embarrassed when visitors come by. Yelling at the cat isn't doing anything, and squirting the cat with a spray bottle doesn't work, nor does rubbing his nose in the pee. You're not alone. Many cat lovers have faced similar problems - this writer included. Fortunately, help is at hand.Take a look at Cat Training - How, Why, and When to Train a Cat.

| Review: "Cat Daddy," by Jackson Galaxy
"Cat Daddy" was published in May of 2012, and still receives plaudits from a number of cat lovers, including other writers of cat books. . It is almost unfathomable to picture the heights Jackson had to climb to drag himself out of the morass of sex, drugs, and rock and roll he once lived with. I sincerely doubt that fame was Jackson Galaxy's motivation for the work he does. Yes, it's a nice incentive, but I sincerely believe that Jackson's motivation is to help the cats of the world live in a much better place. He's that kind of man - a nice man - and I, for one appreciate all he is doing for cats.
