    Hi everyone, its Allegra and Ruby! We snuck into Moms office in the middle of the night to post this because its Moms birthday today!

    Ruby: Do you think Mom will be surprised when she sees this, Allegra?

    Allegra: Of course she will! She thinks her regular Saturday post is going up!

    Ruby: She wont be mad at us for deleting that, will she?

    Allegra: Mom could never be mad at us, Ruby. You should know that by now.

    Ruby: But sometimes, she seems like shes mad at me.

    Allegra: Thats because you always...

    Last August, I was contacted by a British production company making a special for National Geographic called Wild Side of Cats. The program looks at the behavior of domestic cats and examines how that compares to big cat behaviour in the wild.

    The production company came across a video clip that I shot of Allegra testing theImperial Cat Scratch n Shapes Sofa Scratcher Chaise. I always knew Allegra was a world-champion scratcher, but apparently, her technique in the video clip is so perfect...

    Guest post by Joseph J. Wakshlag, DVM

    For the cat parent looking for commercial raw and ultra premium cat foods, there are plenty of choices, and lots of claims to wade through. Since these foods are often more expensive, how do you read the labels correctly and make sure youre getting the right food for your extra cash?

    Too often manufacturers throw out the terms holistic or natural which have little to no regulated meaning. Holistic has no definition in the pet food industry and can be used...

    Today marks the third anniversary of the day I had to let Amber go. She died after a sudden, brief illness, most likely a virulent strain of the calici virus, complicated by an underlying heart condition we werent aware of at the time.

    It was the first time I had lost a cat so suddenly. The cats that went before her had long illnesses Feebee had lymphoma, Buckley had heart disease so I not only had time to prepare myself for their eventual passing,I also didnt have to make medical decisions...

    Happy Mothers Day from Allegra, Ruby and Ingrid

    Mothers Day is a bit of a bittersweet holiday for me. My mother passed away in 1994, but even after all these years, I still feel a pang whenI see Mothers Day cards appear in stores. My mom and I had a complicated relationship, but I always knew that she loved me.

    I owe many things to my mom, but the two most important ones are my love of cats, and my love of books.

    Even though we never had cats when I was growing up, my mom was a cat lover....
