FeLV - Feline Leukemia Virus

The Feline Leukemia Virus is considered the leading viral killer of cats in the U.S. today. Yet only 2 to 3% of the cats in the U.S. have this disease. Of course, the percentage is much higher among feral, stray and pet indoor-outdoor cats - those known to be high risk.

May Honors Tuxedo Cats

I can't believe that May is here already, and I'm looking forward to selecting all the Cat Pictures of the Week from submittals to the Tuxedo Cats Show and Tell gallery. Tuxedo cats' striking colors: all black, with a white bib and sometimes white boots, have almost become a classic among cat lovers, and "tuxies" are favored worldwide. Don Pedro, pictured here, looks splendid with his white bib accenting his glossy black coat.
