NEW BOOK RELEASES–Cat Life: The History, Culture & Love of the Cat

I’m delighted to announce the release of my latest pet care book, CAT LIFE: The History, Culture & Love of the Cat. This is the first time I’ve published with full-color interior photographs. I wanted this cat gift book to be beautiful, as well as provide fun insight into the kitties that share our lives.

The book is divided into four parts that explore the evolution and history of cats; the feline influence on our culture from paintings and media to literature and more; basic anatomy and cat care concerns; and finally, a gallery of breeds to celebrate the many gorgeous pedigreed cats.

I hope the book will help you appreciate the old and young cats you have, or even help you choose a new furry wonder to adopt. Here’s a sample of the pages, along with a song from our STRAYS show that fit the topic. *s*

Do you know how to stop dog barking? “Will you please, for the love of doG, stop barking!” When Shadow-Pup joined our family, he and Bravo-Dawg egged each other on. Now that he’s the only dog, he and the cat tease each other and prompt bark-fest and meow-athons.

The DOs and DONTs of Camping with Your Dog or Cat

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. Even though camping with pets isn’t for me, I know lots of folks who LOVE it, including my brother and his dog. He takes the dog with them camping, boating, skiing, and pretty much everywhere.

Bringing your furry one along camping (or glamping) is a great bonding experience. But before you pack up and hit the road, look over my DOs and DONTs of camping with your dog or cat.

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. Perhaps they felt intimidated by the doctor when they take pets to the back, or feared their questions were foolish. Maybe the busy schedule of the clinic offered little opportunity to ask…

But the same is not always true for furry family members. That’s where pet sitters come in. Do you have a pet sitter for your furry wonders? Here’s what you need to know!

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. Good pet vacation plans depend on the individual pet and your special circumstances. When my mother became ill and then passed away, we need to find a pet boarding place for Shadow-Pup and Karma-Kat to stay. Here’s what to consider whether to take your pets with you, or find a place for them while away.
