From Franny Syufy, your Guide to Cats

If you've visited my main page yesterday or today, you may have done a double-take. All of us in the Home Section have been sweeping, dusting, and painting our sites, but seeing the reality of it was awesome. There will still be some minor tweaking, such as adding a prominent link to the Cats Forum, but I really like this look. The Forum is getting a new look too, so stop in and check us out. Bring your cats with you, too. Our Forum is all about our cats!

11 Wildlife Dangers to Cats

While life in the wild is a dream of many folks, there are certain hazards accompanying it when outdoor cats are involved. They aren't necessarily confined to the more woodsy areas either. Bats can be found almost all over the world.

Cat Play
Play seems to be so instinctive with cats that even our older cats love to chase wand toys such as da Bird, or kick the devil out of a catnip mouse. I can remember having to wash a favorite catnip mouse because it was grimy from being chewed and mauled. Amy Shojai, former Contributing Writer for About.com Cats wrote an excellent article on how and why cats play.

Stuff Cats Shouldn't Eat
This is by no means a list of everything on the planet that's bad for cats. But it's a few of the things that should be avoided by themselves or as an ingredient in something else. Use caution with cats by avoiding these unsafe substances.

Family Cats Fighting? Help is Here
Aggression between cats sharing a household can come in several forms, including play aggression, redirected aggression, and territorial aggression. It is important to understand the kind of aggression before attempting to intervene. Often the best tactic is to separate the two cats, allowing the "victim" cat to escape, giving you time to calm down the aggressor while you look for evidence of the cause.
