Best Cat Books


Believe it or not, my family isn't totally obsessed with cats (we even have a dog), so we don't have lots of cat-themed books; just a few and I'd like to tell you what we like about them. These books have been particularly enjoyable.


chicken soup book"Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul"
By: Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Marty Becker, Carol Kline and Amy Shojal

Firstly, my youngest daughter and I really enjoyed reading the touching and entertaining stories in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul. I read one story at bedtime each night until we'd read them all. One of our favorites was a story about a three-legged cat that befriended a lonely third-grade girl and inspired her to overcome significant difficulties in her life.

How to Get Cat Allergy Relief - No More Sneezing, Wheezing or Itching



Allergies to cats are quite common. The allergic reactions can be immediate, or they can begin to show up gradually over time. Often someone has owned a cat for some time, sometimes even years, before the allergic reactions begin to show. Having to give the cat up at that point may be heartbreaking for everyone involved. Including the cat.

Most often the first recommendation from medical doctors is to relinquish the cat. The past 15 years have seen a whole new "breed" of therapy methods based on the bodies energy system. The methods are generally referred to as "Energy Therapy" "Meridian Therapy" or Energy psychology".

The major distinction between these therapies and traditional aids or therapies, is that instead of attempting to clear the allergen out of the air using all sorts of filters, specialized vacuums, heap filters, limiting the exposure to the cat, medication etc, is that the energy therapies work on your own energy system so that it can be in harmony with the allergen.

Pretty much in the same way that Chinese medicine views illness as a disruption of the flow of vital life force in your system. Energy Therapies view an allergy as a substance your energy system is not in harmony with and is trying to repel.
It is the repelling of the allergen that causes the allergic reactions. So, here is how you can view it. You feel OK, and then you are in contact with a cat, or breathe air containing the allergen. This causes your energy system to become disrupted. The flow of energy is now disrupted, causing a horde of symptoms, as in all your allergy symptoms. Sounds almost too simple, yes? A disruption in the flow of energy, and it can cause such severe allergic reactions? Yes it can.

The energy therapies, using either acupuncture needles, or simply your fingers, will, by using special acupuncture points balance the system, and the flow of energy, in regards to the offending substance.

To do that, you first need to cause a disruption by simply thinking about cats, and then while connecting certain acupuncture points known for their affect on the brain, your system becomes in harmony with what used to be seen as an allergen. Once your system is in harmony with the car dander, or other allergen, there are no more reactions. Once the intervention is completed, the effects are most often permanent, requiring no re treatment. The person who used to have cat allergies can now interact with cats feeling perfectly OK.

Having to relinquish your cat because you have developed allergies is a painful decision no one should have to make. Today, with modern cutting edge resources available, that decision may be one you will never have to make.

Cat Art Across Cultures


Artists have created cat art, or at least artistic pieces that include or feature cats, in Asia, Europe and the USA, over the centuries. Throughout history, people have responded to cats in various ways...sometimes idolized, sometimes detested. 


Asian cat art

Oriental artists have regarded the domestic cat highly for centuries. The concept of cat breeds is a Western phenomenon, starting in Britain in the 1800s. Asian artists, however, were influenced by the cats that surrounded them. Japanese artists often portrayed bobtail cats, and tortoiseshell and white cats, which was a common coat pattern there.

The Magic cats of China depicted to the left are magical spirit-cats who stop the rats from eating the precious silk-worms by Mary Evans.

European cat art



Cats started to appear in European art in the 18th century, despite the Christian Church's disapproval and stigmatization of them. European masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Pierre-Auguste Renoir featured cats in some of their works.

Sleepy Cat Pictures



Why are sleeping cats so appealing? Why do I feel more than the usual urge to touch and cuddle a sleeping cat? Hardly seems fair...terribly selfish...the poor cat is in its own world, totally relaxed and I can hardly restrain myself from running my fingers across its fur. So darn adorable! And if they're not looking good enough to squish, they're soooo funny, like the cat in the photo above. My Burmese adopts postures like that, bless him. That's why I love cats...they're just a feel-good bundle of delight (sorry to those of you struggling with aggression or spraying problems - there really IS a good reason why you love them).

I hope you enjoy looking at these sleepy cats as much as I did finding them.

Funny Cats in Bags



My cats love getting in bags, pouncing on each other while hiding in bags and occasionally sleeping in bags. Boxes often do the trick too. I suppose any time an object is used by an animal for a purpose different to the one we give it, we are amused. So seeing cats become the contents of bags is entertaining and very cute. No doubt to them it is the equivalent of a cave or a sentry box.

I hope you enjoy looking at these bagged cats as much as I did finding them. Don't miss the other cute cats galleries.

How to Buy Pet Insurance for Your Cat




Pets are more than just animals that we feed and take care of. They are part of the family, are loved and given the best care that we can offer. From feeding them healthy food to grooming them, we smother them with tender loving care (TLC) because they deserve it even if they don’t always reciprocate.


We don’t mind because we love them just the same. Of course, cats are among the most favorite pets for many people. This is why cat health insurance is being offered to pet owners who want financial protection for themselves and top health care for their furry little family members.

Because there are so many pet health insurance policies to choose from, it can become pretty confusing when deciding which one to get.

Cute Cat Photos: Cats in Gardens




Here is a collection of photos of cats in one of their favorite places. Cats just love gardens. There is so much to explore...sights, smells, insects, birds....and so much to feel - the sun, gentle breezes, soft soil and grass. Gardens provide so many cosy, quiet places for an uninterrupted nap or to sneak up on an unsuspecting butterfly.

Hiding Cats Funny Pictures



Don't all cats love getting into small, hidden spaces? More super-cute moments when you want the camera close by. These photographers clearly did, and took some wonderful shots. Where is your cat's favourite hidey-hole? My cat, Cooga, likes to sleep right under the blankets, totally covered. I don't know how he breathes! Our other baby, Coco prefers to lie hide in the wardrobe.

I hope you enjoy looking at these peeking cats as much as I did finding them. Don't miss the other cute cats galleries.
