Chillin' Out (A Picture Story)

After a long day of work, I come home and settle down for a long nap.
The day was busy. I had to teach my owners that my food bowl should always be full.

Then I heard a dog outside. I was so scared that I ran to the linen closet to hide.
After the coast was clear, I decided that it was a good time for a snooze.
Then my sister and I had a "Who can fit in the wierdest place?" contest.
She agreed that I won.
After all that work, I'm so glad that I can finally sleep in peace.
After all, it is my duty to make sure that the house is in perfect condition.

THE END

Puzzles Answer Key

We're sure you've tried out the puzzles on the right hand column of our site, and we've told you the answers that you can choose from, but now it is time for us to give you the complete answer key! Not ready for it yet? Don't worry! If you are not ready to see it--don't click "Read more" below; if you are ready, go right ahead and press it!

Pages Galore!

Do you need help with a new kitten? Confused on what your cat is trying to tell you? Curious about your pet cat's wild relatives? Want to know more about famous cats? Need to hear some amazing cat poetry?
Then look no farther! We have multiple pages on our website aside from the homepage. You can get to them in the form of tabs at the top of the page.

Today, we are going to share an article from the "Your New Kitten" page. It is about choosing which kind of food to get for your cat. It is titled "Food."

What type of food should you buy for your cat? When considering this, here are a few things you should think about...

What was your cat previously fed? You may want to continue this diet to prevent stomach problems.


Do you want to feed your cat dry food or wet food? Both types have their benefits. For example, you shouldn't leave wet food out for longer than a few hours because then it will spoil. But dry food can be left out for longer. Lots of cats like wet food, but there are also lots that like dry food. You could feed your cats both kinds for a balanced diet. :)

What age is your cat? Some brands change the recipe a bit for different aged cats to better fit their needs. If your cat is a kitten, make sure that your cat food bag says "kitten" or can be for all ages.

When it's time to make the decision, you could always ask your cat's veterinarian what cat food they recommend for your fluffy friend.

That's all for now, cat lovers! Have a wonderful day!

Cats are better than dogs

Have you visited the "CATS or Dogs?" page recently? We're going to post some stories and facts from that page here. If you like dogs better than cats, here's one fact that applies to both cat and dog lovers...

Believe it or not: Some people believe that cats have superpowers. Not that they can fly, or become invisible or anything like that, but people like Dr. Rupert Sheldrake believe that people and animals can have psychic connections. This goes for cats and dogs...

These animals can sense a coming bombing or earthquake...

Cats and dogs might respond to their owners' suffering or death even if they're far away...

They can detect when a loved one is calling on the phone before the phone is picked up...

Cats and dogs hide on a day they are supposed to go to the vet before the carrier is taken out. (We're sure you can relate to that :D)

And now for stories about amazing cats! Even if you don't like cats, you could still find something that amazes you!

A woman named Kimberley was gardening one day when she saw a poisonous snake. When the snake was about to attack, Kimberley's cat ran and attacked the snake. Her cat got bitten on the paw but recovered in three days. Source: Cat Heroes
