About the Winner:

Here is what the owner has to say about their incredible kitty, Stanley.

"Stanley is a one of a kind kitty. He is probably the sweetest baby that I have ever had.  I had lost my other kitty Ziggy to cancer and it took me awhile to be ready for another. I went to a cat show in San Diego and found Stanley and it was love at first sight.

Pets are a very important part of the family. When they need to take medication or supplements, getting them to swallow what's good for them can be a difficult task. It can leave you feeling frustrated and your pet angry, scared or confused.

Every day millions of pet owners are faced with the task of medicating their pets. How many ways have you tried to trick your pet into taking medication? Like most pet owners you've poked them down, ground them up, hidden them in any number of unhealthy foods and pleaded with your pet to swallow its medication, only to have your pet spit it out and eat everything but the medication, drool and foam at the mouth, and resist you, tooth and claw! Now there is a better way. Pill Pockets are healthy treats with a patented pocket to safely conceal the medicine - it's as simple as that. No more fighting, struggling, spitting, scratching or biting!

Whether it's curling up by the fire, brewing hot apple cider, or bundling up in a soft cashmere sweater, cold weather comforts help us through brisk autumn days and cold winter nights. Throw in flu season, too many parties, and the extra work of keeping up with daylight savings and it's a wonder we make it through the year at all.

Whether you're off to sleep or about to jump in the pool, what better place to put your lenses than in an adorable cat themed Lens case. Perfect for at home or on the go, these contact cases are the perfect addition for any cat loving contact wearer. These pretty little compacts hold an inner case suitable for all kinds of lenses and cleaning methods. Each case also includes a mirror, for quick fixes, a clear carrying pouch, name/address label and instructions. Eyemagine that!

The Catalina Bed's outer walls and removable center pillow are made of soft polyester fleece or faux Suede with a tough 420 denier nylon packcloth base. The walls and pillow are filled with recycled fleece scraps, which will not break down as quickly as the filling used in most other beds. The entire bed can be machine washed and dried without damaging the filling. Additionally, the bed is designed to be flipped inside-out to further extend its usable life.

Losing a close friend can be heartbreaking experience. Wearing these bands with the cheerful colors and uplifting message might help to make someone smile during a very sad time. Each wristband is engraved with the words "I'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge." Dog and cat paw prints complete the band. Each band is approximately 8" in circumference and will fit most adult wrists.

These pans are also great for multi-cat households as many Cat behavior experts recommend a litterbox for each cat in your house, plus one extra. The corner litterbox, with its triangular shape, fits easily into unusable corner space. Extra litter boxes will help to reduce elimination problems inside your home by providing another place for your cat to go.

Keep cats out of your garden, safely and efficiently, with a motion-activated burst of ultrasonic sound.

Tim Cuthbertson has a long scratch down his arm, now nearly healed. It's the latest reminder of his cat's favorite game -- wrestling.

"Once a day, he'll come up and bite me on the arm," Mr. Cuthbertson said. "The only time it's really annoying is when he'll do it when I'm trying to sleep. He'll come up and bite me on the face."

Aggression toward people is a problem most commonly associated with dogs, but cat owners also deal with this issue. Though it's not one of the top 10 reasons for turning cats over to shelters, it plays a significant role in the number of cats turned over for behavioral reasons.
