Finnegan O'Riley
Owner: Sharyn Thoma Guay
Cat's Name: Finnegan O'Riley
Breed: DLH
Age: 10 months
About the Winner:
Finnegan O'Riley lives on a golf course, so naturally his favorite places are looking out is the back window at the golfers and the birds.  He also likes to sit between the PC keyboard and screen if you're sitting at the computer and loves to snooze on the office chair.  Every morning Finnegan goes out with his dad, Fred, to get the morning paper, followed by a stroll to the mailbox (as we can see from his photo) in the afternoon.

Have Unwanted Stains and Smells?
We have the Solution!

Has your pet left "scent marks" of urination and/or defecation on your floor or furniture? Well, for starters, you need to find which areas are soiled and then re-train your pet to avoid eliminating in those areas. And to do that , you'll have to clean those areas, and clean them well. Here are the steps you'll need to take:
Pet Stains Black Light
  • Find all soiled areas using your nose and eyes. A Pet Stains Black Light will show even old urine stains. Turn out all lights in the room; use the black-light to identify soiled areas and lightly outline the areas with chalk. Black lights can be purchased at the Cat Connection.
  • Clean the soiled areas appropriately to remove the odors and staining.

The Ultimate Scratching Post. Period.
Winner of the Cat Fancy 2004 Editor's Choice Award
SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post
Features and Benefits:

  • Fibrous and durable sisal material naturally inspires scratching.
  • Perfect for conditioning nails (superior to carpeting which snags nails and encourages scratching on other carpeted surfaces).
  • Sturdy base eliminates wobbling and tipping which could discourage the cat from future attempts to use the post.
  • The 32" post height allows the cat to stretch vertically while using the post (important for territorial marking purposes and for toning muscles).

Planning On Taking a Vacation This Spring Break?
It's just around the corner so call now to make your kitty's reservations.

Why Should I Board My Cat? Abby - Our House Cat
It is important to remember that cats do not usually travel well. They usually do not enjoy it, nor do they adapt well to travel. Many people who try to take kitty along with them on their vacation end up spending most of their time searching for their escaped pet.

Leaving your cat with friends is just as unsatisfactory. Cats must go through an adjustment period in a new environment and this means they will not look upon your friend's house as "home" for quite awhile. Therefore, your cat may try to escape from the strange house at every opportunity or hide as a fear reaction. Most cat owners realize that it is not fair to impose this kind of responsibility on their friends, nor is it an ideal arrangement for their pets.

Save Money: Litter Welcome Mat
Hot Bargains You Can't Miss!

Litter Welcome Mat:
At a Welcoming Price

The Litter Welcome Mat™ helps control seemingly unmanageable litter track. The problem of litter track starts with your cat's first step out of the litter box. Eventually, litter ends up on the bottom of bare feet, stockings, or shoes and is unknowingly carried throughout the home. The tracked litter shows up in unlikely places, such as under the covers at the foot of your BED! Fortunately, controlling litter track is not impossible. Just as the problem starts with the first step out of the litter box, so does the solution.

Catching Those Purrfect Moments
Patience is the number one tool when it comes to cat photography! Ronnie - Cat of the Year

Wouldn't it be great if you could have your camera with you at those fantastic times when your favorite furry friend is doing something extraordinary? Cat photography can be exhausting. The challenge is to keep up with them and catch them at their best moments.

Here are some handy tips to help you capture that special moment.

• Keep notes. Record your cat's habits, your camera settings, type of film used, everything. You can refer to it continually to help improve each shot and it will help you anticipate your cat's next move.

• Look for a comfortable environment. Your cat will be more alert and interested in things around her if she is in a familiar part of the house or the garden.
