by Amy Shojai | Aug 8, 2020 | Cat Behavior & Care | 2 comments

I published DOES MY CAT HATE ME back in December, and I’m delighted that it won a Cat Writer’s Association Certificate of Excellence AND THE MUSE MEDALLION!!! in the most recent contest. Tonight (August 8, 2020) is the virtual awards ceremony (you can attend, learn how on this post!), which just happens to coincide with INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY.

For all of these reasons, I wanted to celebrate CATS with something special today. The book is included for free in my CAT-EGORICAL ENRICHMENT WEBINAR and to celebrate the win and International Cat Day (and hopefully help your kitties!) I’ve made the webinar also FREE to watch, for the next week.

Here’s the link–and you can watch at your leisure. I do ask, if you watch and like the webinar, that you post an honest review on one of the book page links, below. Read on for what’s in the webinar and booklet.

DOES MY CAT HATE ME?

So the title is somewhat tongue-in-furry-cheek. Of course, the answer is NO.

Summer arrived even earlier than expected this year, with temperatures hitting triple digits by mid-June. There’s still plenty of pet camping season left.

What to do when camping with a pet

First, decide if your pet will enjoy camping. Not all will enjoy it. My Karma-Kat would HATE camping. He’s a homebody, and enjoys watching birds, bunnies, and squirrels through the window, but freezes when his paws hit the grass. Shadow-Pup’s more adventurous and probably would do better…

How to Get the Most from Vet Visits: What to Ask & How to Ask

When I worked as a veterinary technician many years ago, pet parents ask questions all the time, but rarely to the vet. Folks often acted embarrassed, or waited to telephone from home hours or days after the appointment.

Pet Vacations? Dog Boarding, Cat Sitters, Stay-Cation?

Maybe you have a regular dog walker (your kid? a company?) that manages when you can’t walk your dog or go on vacation.

Here’s what to consider whether to take your pets with you, or find a place for them while away.
