About the Winner
Mochaccino was born into the Wolf family by her biological mother Noelle. Noelle unfortunately died suddenly from a poisonous spider bite when Mochaccino was only four weeks old.

Precise® Canned Cat Food:
A Healthy New Food for your Feline Friend

Ever since Precise® pet food was introduced in 1992, they’ve earned a reputation for pushing the envelope in the field of pet nutrition. In human food and in pet food, the biggest name isn’t always the best. When you want the best baked goods or the freshest produce, you go to your neighborhood bakery or farm stand. Supermarket and mass merchants may carry super big brands, but they aren’t necessarily the best foods for your special feline friend. So while Precise® is a brand you won’t find everywhere, chances are it’s the one that’s better for your pet. They are a family owned company that’s more than dedicated to quality. They’re obsessed with it.

Halloween Candy:
Toxic Treats for your Pets

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get even a few of those M&M’s or a lick of that lollipop? This same thought crosses Fluffy’s mind every Halloween as he sits,drooling, watching his human siblings chowing down on the night’s takings.

Alas, sharing Halloween candy with the pets has always been a big no-no. Every year,in houses decorated with jack-o-lanterns and cobwebs, savvy pet owners diligently keep children’s goodies (especially chocolate—which can be toxic to animals) out of pets’ reach.

The Cat’s Out of the Bag — Animal Sayings Solved!
Tracy Vogel, Staff Writer @ VetCentric.com

Our lives are peppered with colloquialisms, phrases and proverbs related to the animal kingdom. Pets are as much a part of our language as our lives.

Think we’re barking up the wrong tree? Yes, we could be crazy … but crazy like a fox. And sometimes, in this dog-eat-dog world, you have to stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off and take the bull by the horns, even if you’re betting on the wrong horse. After all, there’s a chance we’ll hit the bull’s eye. Every dog has his day.

We know curiosity killed the cat, but we can’t help but wonder over the origins of some of these phrases, even though we know it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. So we’re about to let the cat out of the bag by explaining some of the history of these colorful idioms, though we run the risk of making a mountain out of a molehill and talking ’til the cows come home.

Why Should I Board My 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.
