Meet Dovie – An Adorable Manx!
Available at the Cat Connection through March 12th
Dovie
Breed: Russian Blue/Manx
Color: Blue
Sex: Female
Age: 1 ½ Years
Declawed: No
Comments: I am current on all shots and have been spayed.

Hi everyone, my name is Dovie and I was found near an apartment complex as a pregnant, stray cat. A nice Texas CARES volunteer scooped me up and took me in.  Unfortunately, my kittens didn't make it, but I am ready for a permanent home. 

I'm very sweet and love to follow my foster mom around the house. I'm outgoing, playful, and absolutely adorable. I am part Manx so I do not have a tail. I love to be cuddled and brushed.  You may find me a little shy at first, but that is just because I prefer a quiet, cozy home environment.

The Cat Connection Cats of the Month
March 2005 Cat Connection Winner


Voted "Cat of the Month" by The Cat Connection Shop Cats


Forrest Harris
Owner: Kelly Harris
Cat's Name:
Forrest
Breed:
DSH
Age:
6 months

About the Winner:

Forrest and her 2 brothers and sister were found wondering in a field when they were 4 - 5 weeks old. Forrest came home to Ravensdale in August, 2004 with Kelly's daughter Jenny as a surprise for the family! Jenny named her Forrest because her favorite movie is "Forrest Gump" and she felt she couldn't name her Jenny because that is her name.

The Harris family didn't really know much about cats when they took Forrest in so they didn't know what cats were supposed to do and what they weren't. When Forrest was about 7 weeks old they took her to the beach with them and she did amazingly well. They even started walking her on a leash. Most people will look at them and say “We left our cat at home". Forrest now comes running when the Harris's get into the car, hoping to go for a ride. She especially loves rainy days when she can watch the windshield wipers.

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.

Has Cat Connection Gone To The Dogs? Greenie Dog Treats

With that in mind, many of our cat customers wanted to offer their canine companions a super-premium quality food equivalent to what they were feeding their cats.

The House That Spot Built
Written by: Christina Mehra, Staff Writer @ Vetcentric.com
The Cats' House
Most people would laugh at the idea of letting their pet dictate the floor plan or interior design of their new home, but some pet owners have done exactly that.

Take Bob Walker and his wife, of San Diego , Calif. , for example. The Walkers are the proud owners of 12 cats and one dog. This is truly a situation where the cats don't live with the Walkers—the Walkers live among their cats (in what they appropriately call "The Cats' House.") Mr. Walker adapted the house to cater to the feline population by building, among other features, a 140-foot long catwalk running throughout the house.

Something to Purr About
Written by: Tracy Vogel, Staff Writer @ Vetcentric.com

You think your cat is crazy.

And you're right. Heck, yes. A few granules short of a litter box. If your cat were a person, he'd be holding in-depth conversations with giant, walking tacos.

But we have some small consolation for you—so is everyone else's cat. At least, that's the conclusion researcher Penny Bernstein is reaching.

Dr. Bernstein, an associate professor of biology at Kent State University 's Stark campus, has begun collecting information for a study on cats and petting. She came across the topic during another study about cats in the home.
