And The Winners Are...
Meet the November 2007 Cat of the Month Photo Contest Winners
November 2007 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by the Cat Connection Shop Cats
Owner: Russell
Cat's Name: Baxter Brown
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Age: 4 years old
About the Winner:
Here is what the owner has to say about their awesome kitty, Baxter.
"Baxter was found as a stray at a friend's apartment when he was 6 months old. He came running into the apartment when someone opened the door and came right up to me and jumped on my lap. He's been with me ever since.
I can only describe Baxter as a cat-dog. He plays like a puppy and needs about as much attention. If you don't pay attention to him for a little while, he'll lie on his back against the wall and meow until you play with him. His favorite toys are any kind of soft ball (which he loves to play soccer with) or his "bee on a string" which is just a toy bee that I tied to a shoelace. His favorite games are chase, and getting soaked with the squirt gun in the bathtub.

[READ MORE...]Has Cat Connection Gone To The Dogs?
Now we offer premium dog food and treats for your other best friend
So why would a company that caters only to cats and cat lovers sell dog food and dog treats? Well, statistics show that about 59% of cat owners are also dog owners. With that in mind, many of our cat customers wanted us to offer their canine companions a super-premium quality food equivalent to what they were feeding their cats.
In order to meet these needs, Cat Connection now stocks a full supply of dry and wet foods. In addition, we offer yummy, dog specific treats that are sure to make Fido's tail wag.
Attention Pet Owners!
Deck the Halls - But Do It Safely, Please...
Although some cats may remain relatively calm throughout the Christmas season, this may not be the case for some kittens and young cats during this exciting time of the year. Their natural kitty cat urge to explore is in high gear and the unusual activity of the house can also keep their imaginations active. The decorated tree you worked so hard to achieve must look like toy heaven to your cat. You will be hard-pressed to stop her from exploring the tree - so instead, here are some tips to make that tree cat-safe. You can do this several different ways:
Secondhand Smoke Affects Pets, Too
Written by: Christina Mehra, Staff Writer @ Vetcentric.com
Cigarette smoke is harmful to your whole family -- and that includes your pet. And if your dog has a long nose, it may be in particular danger.
If you're a smoker and a pet owner, it is probably not a good idea to smoke in the same room as your cat or dog. Just as second-hand smoke is harmful to other people and can even cause cancer in non-smokers it has also been associated with lung and nasal cancer in dogs.
When the Kids Beg...
Written by: Tracy Vogel, Staff Writer @ Vetcentric.com
Your son comes home one day, babbling non-stop about his friend's new dog.
Your daughter grabs your hand as you walk through the mall, pulling you toward the pet store window, where a group of kittens pounce on each other, rolling over the floor of the cage.
Or, even worse, there's the moment when they show up with a neighborhood stray -- its tail wagging, or its purr reverberating -- and, faces alight with hope and anticipation, they voice those dreaded words: "Can we keep him?"
Whose Turn is it to Clean the Litter Box?
Written by: Erin Harty, Associate Editor @ Vetcentric.com
Everyone loves the family pet ... until it's time to walk or clean up after said pet, that is.
Suddenly, instead of being the center of attention, the pet is a pariah.
"No, I walked the dog last. Now it's your turn."
"I cleaned the litter box. You walk the dog."
"But I cleaned the fish tank!"
In many households, the pet is a shared commodity. If the benefits of the pet are to be equally distributed, so, too, must the responsibilities that are associated with the pet.
The division of labor isn't always equal, nor is it always free from disagreement. But it's necessary ... both to avoid a Jerry-Springer-style shouting match every time the dog needs to go out, and to ensure that the dog actually does get out. Sometimes the system works itself out; sometimes it needs a little work.
