MAKE A DIFFERENCE charity

The results of the poll are in--viewers have decided to raise money for wild cats!
First of all, we want to make one thing clear--THIS DOES NOT INVOLVE YOU PAYING ANYTHING. We are donating to the charity based on the outcome of our contest posted on the MAKE A DIFFERENCE page. Of course, if you would like to donate on your own, feel free to do so. :)
We're sure that many of you want to know where all of the money's going. Well here's the answer: the Snow Leopard Trust.
The Snow Leopard Trust is an organization in Seattle, Washington that is interested in saving snow leopards. The truth is, these wild cats are in desperate need of our help.
Snow leopards are considered an endangered species for many reasons, poaching being one of the largest. Plus, the loss of habitat and prey forces snow leopards to move to other places, or worse, starve. Believe it or not, mining also is a threat to these cats. Miners use chemicals and explosives in the areas where snow leopards live.
Those are just a few of the reasons why snow leopards need our help. Not to mention that there are as little as 4,000 snow leopards left in the wild. So let's MAKE A DIFFERENCE now and start saving these amazing wild cats. What's the first step? Entering the contest, of course! Visit the MAKE A DIFFERENCE page to take a step toward changing the world--and the lives of these wonderful, wonderful creatures.

Super Summer--Saturday Spotlight

We're sorry for the delay in this Saturday Spotlight... maybe it would be better to call it a Sunday Spotlight this week!
But no matter what we call it, this week the spotlight is on the RAGDOLL!

Ragdolls are very social cats and enjoy being wherever their owner is. These cats should be regularly combed to keep their silky fur looking beautiful.

Many social Ragdoll cats have been trained to do tricks such as coming when they are called, and fetching.

Ragdoll cats are slow to mature, they don't reach their full size until they are four years old! Here is a picture of some Ragdoll kittens...

Here are two more videos of Ragdoll cats that have been trained.

Thanks for reading another Saturday--or Sunday--Spotlight! For more information on Ragdolls, visit the "Cat Breeds" page!

Did you know...

House cats have about 473 taste buds!

Cats' eyes typically glow green when in the dark, but sometimes they can glow red.

Every cat in a household should have their own food bowl and litterbox to prevent disagreements.

Super Summer--Saturday Spotlight!

This Saturday, the spotlight is on the SPHYNX! Sphynx cats are arguably a very interesting cat breed because of their lack of fur. Cats without fur, like the Sphynx, are called "hairless". However, Sphynx cats could still have a little bit of fur that is not very visible.

Since these cats do not have fur, they need bathe regularly and get their ears cleaned. Here's a video of a Sphynx cat in the bathtub--this breed seems to actually enjoy it!

After all, if a cat has been raised taking regular baths, it is not a hard task to get them to like water. Another neat thing about this cat breed is that some people that are allergic to cats can live with them. Of course, it all depends on the seriousness of the allergy.

Sphynx cats like being the center of attention and are very curious. These cats are very energetic, as this cat demonstrates...

Although some people think that Sphynx cats are ugly, they are actually very popular. Most Sphynx breeders have waiting lists for their kittens.

No matter what some people think about this cat breed's appearance, there's more than meets the eye to Sphynx cats! Check back next week for another Saturday Spotlight!

Super Summer--Saturday Spotlight

This Saturday, the spotlight is on AMERICAN CURL cats! These cats are special because of their curly ears. Did you know that when American Curl cats are born, their ears are straight? It's true! Their ears don't begin to curl until they are two to seven days old. The curl in their ears is permanently set when they are four months old.

American Curls are social, creative, intelligent, and playful. Here's a video of an American Curl cat that has been trained to roll over...

The next two videos show how playful and curious these cats can be. American Curl cats like to know what you are doing and perhaps even "help out" as well.

"American Curls are not just 'decorator' cats; they are 'designer' cats - signed masterpieces of a humor-loving Creator."

~Joe and Grace Ruga (Curlniques Cattery)

We hope that you learned lots from this week's Saturday Spotlight! For more information on the AMERICAN CURL, visit the "Cat Breeds" page. :)

Fun Fact

Cats' paw pads are sensitive to vibrations. This makes it easier for them to sense nearby prey.
