Dear Penelope, Worms, or intestinal parasites, can affect all kittens and cats. Intestinal parasitism is one of the most common conditions in clinical veterinary practice and is frequently identified in outdoor cats. Although your cat spends most of his time inside there is still a chance that he may become infected with a parasite. To learn more about how cats can become infected with parasites and the signs a cat may show when infected, check out this article on CAT PARASITES. Click here to read the full article. … … … … |

DEAR FANCY, I’m intrigued by my cat Humphrey’s whiskers. They look so distinguished. I’m sure they have other uses besides being a kitty fashion accessory. I figured you’d be the one to ask about them. – Mara in Idaho … … … … Dear Mara, We felines are quite fond of our whiskers. They serve us well. They’re an important component of our super sensory system, feeding us information about our environment at all times. We also point them forward or backward in certain situations, so they’re part of our body language. For a more in-depth look at these fascinating and functional feline appendages, please check out this article WHY CATS HAVE WHISKERS. |

CATNIP CANDY STICK: For a pre-Valentine's Day gift, my humans gave me a Candy Stick catnip toy. Purrr! Present this colorfully-patterned toy to the special cat in your life, and you'll be delighted as kitty bats it across the floor, tosses it in the air, pounces on it, and playfully gnaws and claws it. To sweeten the deal, the catnip inside is rated Top Quality by the Department of Cat Happiness and Entitlement. HEART DISH: Take it from me: When kitty eats out of the Heart Dish it will be love at first bite. Imagine Valentine's Day with your cat's favorite meal served in this elegant heart-shaped food bowl, perhaps with "just for kitty" music playing in the background. Afterward, playtime and treats (in the stylish dish, of course), followed by lots of petting, snuggling, and catnaps. I "heart" days like that. … … … … Have a favorite product you want to review?
