Help! Hurricane Spares Cats, Nothing Else

Rescued KittenOn August 28th, Catskill Creek burst its banks with great force. Katrin Hecker’s house – home to the cat rescuer extraordinaire, her dogs and 35 mostly special needs cats and kittens - was consumed by torrents of flood waters from Hurricane Irene. As currents rose to levels five feet high and rushed into her living and dining room, friends hurried to the scene with their cars and cat carriers to rescue the animals. All escaped with their lives, but nothing more. Katrin lost everything, from her home and computer to precious personal keepsakes and all else in between.

Dog Days of Summer Giveaway: Ice Pups Dog Treats!

The Honest Kitchen Ice PupsIt’s August. It’s HOT.
How are your dogs taking it?
Our black-backed, hairy Newf is often belly-up in front of the AC and non-stop panting. Our hound is a sun worshiper in need of constant hydration. We’ve just discovered a fun treat from The Honest Kitchen that cools our hot dogs off from the inside out … and we want to share it with you.

Ice Pups: They Make Your Dog Cool!

These puppies are super easy to make:

  • Pop the lid with a spoon handle.
  • Mix two heaping tablespoons of powder in a cup of warm water.
  • Stir, pour and , in the summertime, freeze.

This was supposed to be a demonstration video but, as you’ll soon see, it turned comedic in a hurry. I couldn’t feed the critters fast enough.

Cats Learn Magnetic Poetry

Jed and KimIf animals could speak our language, what would they say? Now we know.

Our cats found a way to communicate – using magnetic poetry. And with the mastering of this poetic persuasion came a surprising request for an  item believed to spark further communication.

Rest assured, fostering feline creativity is not my desire. These cats already outsmart me on a daily basis. I need no more of that. Besides, this request is just plain unhealthy…

What’s on your cat’s mind?

Our Cats’ Adoption Anniversary

Twin KittensHAPPY FIRST YEAR!
(Otherwise known as WE MADE IT!)

Yesterday marked the day  adopted two kittens, Jackson and Jed (then named Sunshine and Red), from a very special rescue cattery, AnimalKind, Inc.

At just 3 months old, their attitudes were perfectly solidified and so very different from one another. Looking back, of course this is evident. But from Day One onward, we had zero understanding of what these tremendous personalities had store for us.

Cool Cats on Dancing with the … Straws?

Straw CatThe media frenzy has finally settled after Dancing with the Stars’ politically infused 11th season. Speculation is now abuzz about casting for Season 12. Lindsay Lohan, Portia de Rossi, Cheryl Cole and Christine O’Donnel (on Sarah Palin’s suggestion) are rumored to have made the short list.

I don’t watch the show, but I’d like to add  two contenders to the list.
