Both the cat and the “crazy cat lady” are quite unique.

Most cat food contains grain, and cats are NOT grain-eaters.  They do not have the proper enzymes to digest grain.

Dogs and cats do not produce an enzyme called amylase in their saliva to actually break-down carbohydrates and starches.

Unlike omnivores, cats cannot decrease liver enzymes when fed a low protein grain-based diet. This is probably why hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease accompanied by protein defiency) is common in cats fed a dry food diet, especially those that are obese.

While the label on dry cat food will show what looks like sufficient protein, a good amount of that protein is coming from grains, which is indigestible and poor quality.

The other important reason for keeping grains away from your cat is that all grains contain mycotoxins,(aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, and Fusarium mycotoxins) which actually poison your cat (or dog…or you).

Mycotoxins contaminate cereal grains worldwide, and their presence in pet food is a potential health threat to pets.

People are not grain-eaters either, and you’d be amazed at how much better you will feel if you don’t eat any grains at all!  CLICK HERE for more info.

Another cat and deer in love, this is a cat in Harrisburg PA and his special friend:

I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for cute animals being all lovable

Awwww….it’s just so cute!

This is a tough one! I actually had to go to an online dictionary to find a definition for foreign that I could work with, and I came up with:  Not natural; alien

OK, so here is my take on the subject: I like everything to be in it’s proper place, nicely decorated and harmonious.  So I really do prefer living room furniture and accessories in my living room.   Therefore, car parts, tools, greasy rags, greasy old car parts, greasy tools, and, did I mention CAR PARTS are FOREIGN OBJECTS in my living room. Definitely alien to my decor. Not at all natural to my living space.

Unlike me, Taco LOVES foreign objects, he immediately claims them as his own:

This cat can sleep on anything!

You may be curious about why these foreign objects appear in my living room (me too).  My most awesome and amazing (one of many) 19 year-old son is going to school to be an auto technician, and he does quite a few repairs out in the driveway (this drives the wicked witch into severe fits of agitation) and inevitably the car stuff gets tossed in the living room for a few hours days weeks.  On the bright side,  I get car repairs done for cheap…so I try to be patient…grease and all…*sigh*

Casper the cat has become such a well-known user of a Devon bus service that the drivers know where to let him off.

Casper has been queuing with other passengers to get the number three service from his home in Plymouth for months, bus company First said.

The company says the cat often curls up on a seat during the ride.

I stretch daily, and Mango usually accompanies me.  My goal is to stretch 3 times daily, but I usually only get around  to 2 times.  

Mango looks forward to our daily stretching routine much more than I do!

This is funny, but it is also a learning experience.  How calm, cool and collected would I be if something awkward were stuck on my head?  Something that maybe obstructed my breathing a bit, and completely blocked my vision….geez…I’d freak.  Yet kitty here stays fairly calm, trying to enjoy the last remaining drops of ice cream.  File this one under “Things we Could Learn From Our Cats”.

Here is Bella’s reaction to Quincy and Calley:

This is what she’s all poofed up about:

Taco and Sumari are in hiding, but Mango, the bravest of them all, calmly watches the wild antics of the doggies:

This is one of my favorite funny videos.  Whoever made this has a great sense of humor, wish I could figure out how it’s done.

If your cat is having surgery, including nuetering or spaying, make sure the veterinarian is aware of the recall of Ketamine Hydrochloride Injection, USP CIII 100mg/mL in 10mL vials.  Veterinarians who have this product, made by Teva Animal Health, Inc, are instructed to cease using the product immediately and return it to their distributor.

This latest recall stems from the reported death of five cats, inconclusively linked to the drug’s use. But troubles within Teva Animal Health surfaced last July, when the FDA shut down the company via a permanent injunction and filed a lawsuit, alleging that regulatory inspectors had uncovered adulterated animal drugs at Teva’s main facilities in St. Joseph, Mo.  Click here for the full article.
