What does it mean "30 Years of observation"? My lovely wife, Leebee, and I have been cat friends for almost 40 years total. Thirty years ago I became tied to a wheelchair and that's when my observations of our four indoor cats began. I began to notice their individual peculiarities, but also their similarities, in the way they interacted with the variables in their environment. I was fascinated by how such different personalities could be so instinctively the same. For example: While playing with the same bungee style toy. one of my guys would jump and pounce, the other would...
If you are a cat person, no matter how long you may have been one, you have experienced the horrors of kitty tearing at your furniture or woodwork. And as most of us have done, we fuss at them and/or pull out the squirt bottle. You think you're disciplining them, right? Wrong! You're fighting a loosing battle. WHY? Well let me share something.

Where they play and more importantly, where they best relax, what is healthy for them and things we can do to enhance...

Cat Trees - What's the big deal? Any cat lover will know how much kitties love to climb. The little darlings will shimmy up the back of your couch, your favorite chair, window drapes, even your leg! They just love to climb. Knowing this, pet supply companies developed the modern run of the mill "Cat Tree". These companies figured the more stuff they could pile on the tree the more pet owners would pay! They covered it with pretty pile carpet, wrapped the uprights with rope, hung all kinds of doo-dads everywhere, made it seven foot tall and abra-ca-dab-rah...a masterful...
