About the Winner
Kitty is such a smart boy. He has been in my life for 11 years now and never stops amazing me with his intelligence. His personality is so funny and very similar to Garfield. He's stubborn, smart and affectionate, but only on his terms. He is also a very skilled hunter, which does get him into trouble at times when he brings his prey home.

Even though cats go crazy and some even seem drugged around catnip it is not a drug. It's actually an herb that belongs to the mint family. When the leaves are broken it releases a certain chemical that most cats respond to.

All cats respond differently to catnip. Some of them walk away because they couldn't care less, but others seem to go crazy for the stuff. The cats that do go crazy are responding to the active ingredient in catnip called Nepetalactone. The reaction to this chemical is caused by the organ that operates a cat's five senses (touch, smell, sight, sound and taste.)

Imagine your favorite photo woven into your own personalized snuggly blanket. Made from your choice of soft knitted Amilux yarn or softer quality cotton yarn, TreasureKnit photo blankets create a soft, lush, throw with your image woven directly into the fabric, not printed and not-silkscreened. That means wash after wash, the image will not fade.

Why do cats love cardboard so much? We're not sure, but if your kitty prefers an old sagging printer box to a cushy bed, why not give him a stylish alternative you'll both love. Everyone knows that cats will play, sit, and sleep in cardboard boxes just big enough to squeeze into. Cats like corrugated cardboard because it is rough, like the bark of a tree. And not only is it good for sharpening their claws, it also massages their paws.

Studies show that the interaction between humans and their pets can be just as important and beneficial as any other human relationship. As people take care of their companion animals, the animals in turn are taking care of their owners. Pets provide unconditional love, companionship, connectedness – and for some, a purpose. Those with furry, feathered or finned friends in the home may actually be healthier than those without. That's right. Fido and Fluffy are good for more than just playing ball or batting at a piece of yarn.

Cats, like people, enjoy a good treat every once in a while. Some people choose to only give treats after some sort of good behavior like going to the vet, scratching in the right place, or using the litterbox. Others give their cats treats at random times to surprise and please the cat. In general, treats are a great way to train your kitty, reward him for good behavior, or just show him that you care!
