I’m having some serious deja vu with my B-Rock… I’m currently awaiting the results of B-Rock’s urine test… For the past couple of weeks, he’s started demonstrating the old familiar signs of a UTI - excessive licking of his genitals (again!), straining to urinate (again!), and limited urine output (again!). We got him to the [...]

There was a nice interview with a pet photographer (Edyta Szyszlo) on ModernCat today. I guess the woman who writes the blog is planning on doing a series of interviews with pet photographers. Edyta’s is first - and the interview comes with some great pics!! Check it out! http://www.moderncat.net/2009/08/14/pet-photography-q-a-with-edyta-szyszlo/

I was looking at one of those rubber brushes when I was at the vet/pet store today (I think it was called something like Cat Zoom? Made by Kong?). Has anyone used this kind of brush for grooming? Does it work well? I’m thinking about getting one to try with Vespa, who [...]

Howdy, folks! Something I’m still not really confident in is my dental care for my cats. With Vespa’s possible cardiomyopathy making her future vet dental cleanings impossible, I really need to start taking a more aggressive approach to her (and B-Rock’s) dental care. I’m looking for suggestions on tooth paste, tooth brushes/finger brushes, methods of brushing, [...]

http://www.moderncat.net/2009/07/25/introducing-cats-stylish-cat-furniture-from-shanghai/ It’s a Chinese company, so currently they’re only available overseas, but apparently the company is looking in to shipping to the US & elsewhere.

Not a terribly scientifically study, as there are only 10 cats & 50 people involved, but interesting nonetheless! Check out this story on Yahoo News: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090713/sc_livescience/catsdocontrolhumansstudyfinds Some excerpts: “Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings. This meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched [...]

I’m really loving this moderncat blog (moderncat DOT net) - I’d recommend subscribing… Yesterday’s entry featured a design for a cool cat hammock that a design student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit created. It’s not for sale anywhere, as it was a college project, but her portfolio is pretty detailed [...]
