When it comes to time-sharing, nobody does it better than the cat. I'm not referring to a cat's ability to pick out a condo on the beach in Florida, but rather, the ability to co-exist with other cats. A cat tries hard to work out a schedule for sharing territory or particular spots in the house during certain hours. If you have a multi-cat household where there are no disputes then your cats have more than likely worked out a time-share schedule.

In the chaos of getting ready for a Thanksgiving party, it’s easy to forget that little disruptions to your pet’s routine life can lead to big drama. To help you plan ahead, we’ve enlisted the guidance of E’Lise Christensen, DVM, a veterinary behaviorist at NYC Veterinary Specialists, and her colleague Patricia Joyce, DVM.

Many try to become Internet and YouTube sensations, but most fail. Piano-playing cats, however, have succeeded where others have fizzled into obscurity. Well over 16 million people have viewed “Nora the Piano Cat” on YouTube. (Lithuanian conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis even composed a Catcerto symphony for Nora.) And now there’s Schmaltzy, a New York shelter rescue that Animal Fair magazine has called “a feline prodigy” and what “may just be the most famous cat in the world.”

“SINGLE FEMALE CAT OWNER: Seeks male companion who likes cuddling, playing ball and doesn't mind hearing the occasional "meow" in the middle of the night.”

I love cats and have been keeping and breeding them for most of my life. You're starting to become a little concerned with the ingredients in commercial cat food especially after all the pet food recalls, but don't know what options are available. You're thinking about making your own healthy homemade cat food but you're not sure whether this will be the best thing for your cat or not.

Most people that own cats don’t think too much about grooming their cats, since they know that they take care of it by themselves, by licking their chests, back or paws.

ARE GINGER CATS ALWAYS MALE?

Cat carriers are a must for the cat owner. They are a means of safely transporting your cat (for example to the vet or a boarding cattery), by keeping it secure.
