Kittens Eating: The 'Yum-Yum' Brothers Devour Their Food
I found this cute Youtube video which shows two really cute kittens eating and making a 'Yum-Yum' sound. I've never anything quite like this before. The video is about 3 minutes in length and I think that it should probably be about 1 minute, max, but that's just me – so don't feel enslaved to watch the whole thing… I hope you enjoy it!
Female Cat Name: Do You Have a Female Cat to Name?
What's in a name? Names in many cultures embody a strong personality characteristic/trait. What about for a female cat name? Sometimes it's best not name your female kitten right away – but to allow a little time to pass by so you can stand back and observe. Anyway, I found an interesting article on naming a female cat that I thought might be of some interest.
Female cat names and female kitten names are not hard to find but a good female cat name can be elusive!
Elusive? With all those lists of names on the web?
They are, especially if you don't want your cat to have the same name as every other cat on the block.
If you're looking for that particular, memorable or special name, it's time to put your thinking cap on.
Some of the best female cat names come with a lovely story attached. Like the black cat who got her special name, Friday, because she was brought home from the cat rescue center on Friday the 13th! Lucky for her.
What's behind the best female cat names?
Has your new kitten or cat got a story to tell? Could that story provide the inspiration for her special, unique cat name? If so, go for it!
No story? No worries.
How about a name that describes her beautiful eyes or her fur? Cocoa for a tortoiseshell or Calico cat, Honey if she's red or ginger, or Bluebell for the feline with blue eyes to die for.
Want cool, unique or cute kitten names? Chanel after the perfume for the luxurious cat, Silk and Lightning for the unique sophisticated feline, and why not Dinky, Bambi or Bubbles for the cutest of kittens?
Still no inspiration? Lets mine the beautiful world of crystals and precious stones. Could you imagine your beautiful cream-colored cat with a name like Pearl? Or Amber if she's ginger, and Sapphire if – you guessed it – it's those big beautiful blue eyes again.
Time for tea, anyone?
I did much of the research on my female cat names in the UK, a great source for names. Something British… Cadbury, perhaps, or Miss Marple from Agatha Christie's famous detective stories.
You can be extra-creative and check out Wiccan cat names based on nature or something a bit spooky. Why not Hallowe'en?
Or something to do with trees – like Cypress, Holly or Hazel, or from within the magical plant kingdom you could consider Poppy, Rose, Gentian or Valerian.
If none of these work for you, there's no reason to give up – not at all. You could go for something popular: enter Miss Kitty, Millie and Sophie, all beautiful girl cat names for your special kitty.
Good luck in your quest. May the inspirational female cat naming muse light your way!

Cat Sucking: Why Do Some Cats Suck?
Have you ever found your kitten or cat sucking on sucking your skin or even other objects? This cat sucking is also known as wool sucking. I found an interesting article about this very phenomena that might interest you – enjoy!
No, I'm not expressing a dislike for certain breeds of cat. Some cats, and you may have noticed this in your own pet kitty, like to suck on fabrics and even human flesh, such as an ear lobe. This seemingly bizarre behavior is quite commonplace, is known as 'wool-sucking' and is the feline equivalent of thumb sucking.
What is Wool Sucking?
Although it is called wool sucking, modern cats are happy to suck on any fabrics, whether they are synthetic or natural makes no difference, the cat is simply looking for anything that reminds him, or her, of Mother. The most common reason for a cat to suck is that it was weaned too early. Now, this may seem a little Freudian, but it's true. Typically, a cat relies on its mother's milk for the first six weeks of life. However, kittens continue to suckle for a further six to ten weeks. If a cat is removed from its mother before this time, or is orphaned, he, or she, can continue to search for a surrogate for many years. In fact, some cats spend their entire lives looking for a mother figure and continue to suck and chew on fabrics even in old age.
Breeds That are More Susceptible
There are some breeds of cat that are more prone to wool-sucking behavior. In fact, Asian breeds, for example Siamese and Burmese, can develop sucking behavior even when they have been weaned correctly. As yet, nobody has unearthed a reason for this, which suggests that some cats are genetically predisposed to wool sucking regardless of the way that they were reared.
Obsessive Compulsive Behavior
For the vast majority of cats that suck, it is a perfectly harmless, reassuring and calming behavior. However, in some cases, wool sucking can be a habit that escalates into obsessive compulsive chewing and sucking. Of course, when a cat's chewing habits extend to show laces, plastic bags and similar items, it can result in life-threatening damage to the intestinal tract. Therefore, if your cat is a sucker, it is wise to keep an eye on his, or her, habits to ensure that they are not developing into something more serious. If you're worried about your cat's wool sucking or any items that he, or she, may have chewed, it is a good idea to seek the immediate assistance of a veterinarian.
How to Stop Your Cat's Sucking Habits
If your cat is displaying worrying signs of obsessive sucking, there are some steps that you may like to consider. For example, it is advisable to restrict your cat's access to closets, bedroom and bathrooms, so he, or she, does not have ready access to an endless supply of blankets and towels. Additionally, it is a good idea to distract your cat with new toys or interactive playtime. With any luck, this will prevent him, or her, from finding other household objects to suck.
Alternatively, you may choose to provide an alternative surrogate, which is akin to a child's pacifier and comes in the shape of a cat with four latex teats. This allows your pet to satisfy its sucking desires safely, without any damage to your furniture or fabrics. Owners should be aware that this may not provide a long-term solution however, as a cat may become bored with the product and look for other items.
If your cat is a wool-sucker, there is generally nothing to worry about. However, I would always recommend that owners keep a close eye on their sucking cats to ensure that the habit does not become severe and that they are only sucking and chewing on objects that are harmless.

Washing a Cat: How To Do It With Minimal Frustration
I ran across a great little article-gem on washing a cat – anyone who has tried this 'fun' feat, it can really be a challenge. But, it can be done. I hope you find this helpful.
Washing a Cat – Some How to Tips
By Liz Canham Liz Canham
Why on earth would anyone want to wash a cat? you may ask. It sounds like a situation fraught with danger! Well, surprisingly, cats can get just as dirty or flea infested as dogs and sometimes you have no choice but to bathe them. A word of warning though, cats' fur contains special oils to protect and "waterproof" it so never wash your can more than once a month.
Preparation is the key to washing your cat. Collect everything you will need so that you don't have to abandon the operation part way through and risk the cat escaping up the nearest tree. Essential supplies are two large, absorbent towels, shampoo and conditioner especially formulated for animals, a sponge and a shower attachment, if you don't have one built in. Failing the shower, use a mug or jug for rinsing with clean water. A non-slip mat is also a good idea.
The bathroom basin is probably the best place to wash your cat as keeping the cat contained in a bath will be more difficult and will mean you either kneeling or bending over in a very uncomfortable position.
Close the bathroom door to prevent escape and put the non-slip mat in the bottom of the basin. Run a few inches of warm water and gently put your cat in it. Stroke the cat and talk quietly and reassuringly, waiting for him to be calm before you begin the actual washing part. When you think it's appropriate, start to wet the cat either with the shower attachment or if that seems to be frightening the cat, use the jug or mug instead. Do not pour water on the cat's head, ears or face – we'll deal with that later.
When the cat's fur is damp, apply the shampoo according to the instructions on the bottle. Gently massage the shampoo into the fur and if the cat can forget that he's soaking wet, he may actually enjoy it.
When the shampoo has lathered up, rinse it off very thoroughly, taking great care that it is all removed. Any residue may cause severe skin irritation.
When you're absolutely sure that the shampoo is rinsed out of your cat's fur, apply the conditioner in the quantity stated on the container and rinse it out thoroughly. The use of conditioner isn't strictly necessary with a short-haired cat but if he submits to being bathed with good grace, you may as well use it.
If you still have skin on your arms when you've finished cleaning your cat's body, gently wipe his face, particularly around the eyes but do be careful not to get water or soap in them.
To finish, wrap the cat in one of the towels and very gently rub his fur to remove most of the water. Using the second, dry, towel, continue to dry his fur until the towel is quite damp. By this time, the cat should be able to complete the job himself. If the cat is long-haired, you can try using a hair dryer on the lowest setting, if he will tolerate it. You must keep the dryer moving or you risk burning the cat's skin.
If you approach the exercise of washing a cat with organisation and sensitivity, it should be a not too unpleasant experience for both yourself and the cat.

In the article, the author talked about closing the bathroom door – this has saved me from countless frustration in the past when dealing with my own felines. There's absolutely nothing worse than trying to run down a wet kitty through the house – at least with the door closed, there is only so far he/she can go!
Cat Spray Urine?: How To Deal With It Without Losing Your Mind
Hello. I was surfing on the net today and found a great article that has to do with a really horrible topic – cat spray urine. Why does a cat spray its urine? Is he trying to annoy you? Is he trying to get thrown out on his furry ear? Is he trying to impress his friends? Why. This article attempts to deal with this topic and I hope you find it helpful.
Perhaps the one thing that puts off most cat owners is their pets' annoying and frustrating tendency to spray urine all over the home. This is intolerable to say the least, judging from the constant smell of urine in your house. However, it is important for cat owners to understand why their cat sprays urine, which will help them avoid taking drastic action such as taking them to a shelter and leaving them there. It is important to realize that there normally is a reason for most of the behavioral problems that you pet cat exhibits. As such, once you understand why your cat acts the way it does by spraying urine, you will be better placed in finding a solution to this problem.
The reason why cats spray urine is basically primal and much in keeping with what nature intended. This is a normal and typical way for most animals to mark their territories, or even attract members of the opposite sex. For instance, when a female cat is in heat, they tend to spray urine in order to inform the male cats that they are available for mating. On the other hand, neutered cats tend to spray urine because of competition or territorial disputes amongst many cats living in the same home, or in the event that you move to a new home with your cat. Moreover, cats also tend to spray urine when a new cat or a new baby arrives, or in situations where the cat does not feel safe and secure. In such cases of insecurity, the cat will spray urine just so as to ensure that their territory is well reinforced. There are some things you can do to stop your cat from spraying urine:
o One way that you can stop your cat from spraying urine is by having it neutered. This is because urine spraying is in most cases induced by hormonal activity. However, you may have to wait up to two months to see the behavior cease completely as it does not stop immediately.
o Ensure that you thoroughly clean urine spots using special cleaners and products that will help to neutralize the odor of urine. These may be purchased from your local pet store, or you may use your own home made remedy of vinegar and water. However, do not use any products that contain ammonia as these could stimulate the cat to spray even more – remember that urine contains ammonia. Instead, you may spray feline facial pheromones in such areas, which help in calming down your cat.
o If someone new has moved into your home, have them feed or play with your cat and establish a bond such that the cat does not feel threatened and spray urine.
o For multi-cat homes, ensure that each cat has its own litter box, as well as an extra one for the house. Always make sure that the litter boxes are kept clean, and be sure to isolate the cats that are in conflict or the ones which spray urine.
o Start up games and engage your cat in play at the specific areas where it sprays urine. If they only spray in one room, prevent it from further accessing that particular room. However, if they spray in multiple places and you cannot prevent access, move their feeding bowls and litter boxes to that area – remember that most cats will not urinate where they eat.
o Never punish your cat for spraying urine as they will feel even more insecure and therefore spray even more. If this behavior persists even after applying the above tips, you should consult your vet for advice on what else you can do. In a situation where all these behavior modification techniques do not work, a vet may prescribe anti-anxiety medications for your pet cat.

Excessive Meowing: 5 Reasons Why Cats Meow Too Much, And What To Do
I stumbled upon a great little article this morning that I wanted to share with you. It has to do with that problem that some cats have with excessive meowing. Without understanding the underlying causes, it may be pretty hard to correct.
5 Reasons Cats Meow Too Much
By Jeanne Gibson
Before you do anything about your cat's excessive meowing, you need to figure out the reason behind this problem behavior, one that can become serious, if no steps are taken to curb it. Here are 5 of the most common reasons cats meow too much:
1. Your cat may be ill and meow to let you know he or she needs help.
If your fairly quiet cat suddenly starts meowing excessively, it is time to check it out for a physical problem. Look the cat over thoroughly, checking for scratches, tender spots, a tendency to favor one or more paws when walking, reluctance to walk at all, listlessness, discharge from eyes, ears, or nose, etc.
Any one of these cat behavior problems may merit a prompt visit to a veterinarian to make sure needed treatment is started as soon as possible. Solving the cat's health problem usually also solves the problem meowing behavior, too.
2. Most cats meow when they want you to do something for them.
And most cat owners recognize this type of meow. It is usually loud and insistent and can mean, "I want food and water," "My litter box is full," "I want to go outside," or "I want to come inside." When you fulfill the "command," whatever it is, the meowing usually ends—at least until they want you to do something else for them.
3. A cat may meow to alert their owners that something is amiss.
Not all cats pay attention to anything beyond the 4 walls of the house they live in, but some act almost like "watchdogs" for their owners. As soon as a neighborhood cat, dog, raccoon, or other intruder (even a two-legged one) comes anywhere near the house, "Watchdog" cats begin to meow.
Some even growl. Unfortunately, they seldom stop until the intruder leaves the premises so you might as well leave that comfy easy chair and venture outside to take care of the problem if you want any peace and quiet for the rest of the evening. Intruder gone-cat behavior problem of excessive meowing solved.
4. Some breeds of cats are noted for meowing more than others.
If you have a Siamese cat (as I did at one time) you are probably in for being treated to more meowing than with most other breeds, but you still need to check for causes that may indicate trouble. Siamese cats are noted for not only the frequency of their meowing, but also for the loudness, so if excessive meowing is a problem for you, try for a breed that is not noted for being so vocal.
5. Cats are basically social and meow when they just want attention.
Most of us become cat owners in the first place because cats are so appealing. They are cuddly creatures who love to be held and petted, and are great company. All these things are true, but there is one problem. Most cats want to cuddle, to be held and petted, and to share their company with you on their schedule, not yours. And, if you happen to be busy when they decide it is time for some of this attention from you, their response is to meow until it is forthcoming.
If this happens too frequently at your house, and you feel your cat is already receiving sufficient attention, try short periods of banishment from your presence. Put the cat in another room or even in the garage for a short time as soon as the meowing begins, and it won't be long before your cat learns there are certain times he or she needs to be a quieter companion in order to remain in close proximity to you.
Those are five of the most common reasons cats meow too much, and you could probably add a few more from observing your own cat's behavior. Since there are so many causes for excessive meowing in cats, it seems that no one solution to the problem will apply to all. Each of us needs to determine what is behind the excessive meowing of our own particular cat, and then decide where to go from there.

Adopting Kittens: 5 Useful Tips
www.2flashgames.com
As I was surfing around the net this week, I was thinking a lot about Adopting Kittens and I found an interesting article which gives 5, very useful tips. I hope you find it informative and useful.
You have been thinking about getting a cat or a kitten. You love their soft fur and playful antics. The excitement builds as you envision playing with your new pet, the times you'll spend with him or her curled up in your lap, and the happy meows that your kitty will send your way. You just can't wait and you're ready to go get your new friend and bring it home! Are you sure you're ready?
Adopting a cat or a kitten is a very exciting time. While they are cute, cuddly, and playful, it is important to be a responsible pet owner. Your feline friend will be an important part of your household for many years and will look to you to provide for its needs. In other words, your cat or kitten will depend on you.
It is important to take some time to think about this important step. Here are 5 tips that will help you make a decision that is right for you and your new family member.
First, you need to ask yourself if you are financially prepared to take care of your new cat or kitten. They are not self-
sufficient and do have many needs. These needs include visits to the veterinarian for routine vaccines and any illnesses that may occur, a carrier for transportation, ID tags and collar, a microchip to help reunite you should your cat get lost, spaying or neutering, food, dishes for food and water, a litter box and litter, grooming tools such as a comb, flea comb, brush, and nail trimmers, toys, and treats. There also may be a cost associated with the adoption itself.
The second factor is to decide whether you want a kitten or an older cat. There are a lot more kittens available for adoption than older cats due to owners not having their cat spayed or neutered .While both will need a certain amount of behavior training, kittens by far need the most help with this. They tend to get into more mischief than older cats but you get the joy of watching your kitten grow up. Older cats also make great pets but there may be a somewhat longer adjustment time. If possible, find out if your new pet has been around other cats or dogs. Some cats are best as solitary pets, others thrive on having other cats to play with, and some are jealous of one another and may fight. Some cats just do not get along well with dogs. If you do not have information about the previous living conditions, you will need to be vigilant during the adjustment phase to ensure your animal's emotional and physical safety. Bringing your new pet home needs to be as stress free as possible. In addition, if you have a small child in your home, it is wise to wait until they are at least five years old before bringing a cat or kitten into the household. Even then, they will need supervision. Young children and cats are playful and can be a dangerous mix. A child may tease the cat unknowingly or on purpose which can cause it to bite or scratch or may squeeze it too hard and hurt the cat. Waiting until your child is older can prevent injury to both your child and the cat.
Next, decide where you will adopt your new feline pet from. The best place to adopt from is your local shelter. Shelters are full of cats and kittens that will likely be euthanized if someone does not adopt them and give them a good home. You will be giving them the gift of life! A rescue organization is another way to adopt. Typically, these organizations provide foster homes to the animals until a permanent home is found. There are rescue organizations that help with specific breeds as well. Another way to adopt a kitten or cat is to look in the paper or for signs in your neighborhood announcing the animals are free to a good home. If you want to eventually enter your cat in cat shows or just want a specific breed, you will want to find a good breeder. You can find information about breeders at cat shows, Cat Fancier's Association, and The International Cat Association. Remember that both the breed-specific rescue organizations and breeders will not allow one of their animals into your home until they are sure it will be cared for properly. It is never a good idea to adopt your pet from a pet store since these animals frequently come from breeding mills without regard to the breed, or their health and well-being. Most stores will not sell these animals. PetSmart lets rescue organizations show their animals in their stores. These animals have been rescued and are not from mills and are not sold.
Now that you have decided you can be financially responsible for your pet, you know whether you want a cat or a kitten, and you have chosen a place to adopt your new family member from, the next factor to take note of is the health of the animal. When you look at the cat, it should be playful and friendly, the eyes should be bright with no drainage, the nose should be clean with no discharge and no sneezing, and the area around the tail should be clean and dry. Any signs of sneezing and drainage or discharge from these areas could be evidence of illness. As heartbreaking as it may be, it is best not to adopt a sick cat unless you are prepared for any difficulties that may arise as a result.
Finally, you need to decide if you are willing to cat-proof your home. This means removing anything that can be eaten, chewed on, or easily broken. It is the nature of kitties to be inquisitive and they will get into everything they possibly can. They are quite adept at climbing, jumping, and getting into tight spaces. Cats love to chew on plants. Some are poisonous and most will make the cat vomit so it is wise to either remove all live plants from the house or place them in a room that your cat will not have access to. Keep small objects, such as rubber bands and paper clips, out of your cat's reach as these can cause choking and veterinary emergencies. Any cords that hang down should be secured to keep your cat safe. If your cat or kitten goes outside, please be careful with anti-freeze spills. Anti-freeze is tempting because of it's sweet taste. However, it will cause fatal poisoning in a short period of time. If you spill anti-freeze, clean it up immediately!
These are just some of the many factors to take into consideration when adopting a cat or a kitten. When you make a careful decision, you will be prepared to be a responsible pet owner from the beginning. Remember, your new family member is counting on you. In return, you will be rewarded with your cat's life-long love and loyalty.

I was looking around for a good cat adoption resource, especially one focusing on animal/cat shelters and I found one on Amazon.com that might be really promising. It has a 5 star rating from multiple reviewers. Here is what one reviewer says:
"After reading Ms. Commings' book, Shelter Cats, I would recommend it not only to everyone who is interesting in adopting one of society's "throw away" pets, but to anyone who works or volunteers at their local shelter. Not only does she cover lots of ground, she obviously knows what she's talking about. She also mentions the most forgotten animals of our society, the "special needs" cats. The cats that have been abused or suffer from medical problems that will require them to have a special guardian the rest of their lives with lots of love in their hearts. Since I work at a non-profit, privately funded, "no-kill" shelter in Austin, Tx., I know how hard it is to place some of these cats in loving, PERMANENT homes, but they make the most REWARDING pets. At this moment "Bob" comes to mind, a kitty that was brought to us who is blind & deaf, but is pure joy to be with. In her book Ms. Comming's also mentions several animal establishments, like Denver Dumb Friends, the Tree House Foundation & the S.F. SPCA. All of these organizations are a WEALTH of valuable information, and they share a lot of it with the public through this book. This book is definitely FIVE STARS!!!!"
To make it easy for you, I put a link for the book below so that you can read the other reviews. The nice thing about Amazon.com is that you also pick up some pre-owned copies from 3rd party vendors for ultra-inexpensive!

Pictures of Kittens: Top 3 Reasons to Look at Kitty Pics
May I Taste My First Champagne, Yes?
Have you ever thought about the broad appeal of kitten pictures. I mean, come on, they are the cutest little creatures on the planet. Who loves them? The young, the old and everyone in between. Is the general love for pictures of these little felines because they are in themselves so cute, or is it because they remind you of that special little kitten you brought home for the first time? I don't know if we can know the actual reason because it seems that those who love to look at kitten pictures, are generally those who have owned one or two (or more!) in the lifetimes.
Pictures of Kittens are so cute!
I must confess my bias here – for me, kittens are at the top of the cute scale, bar none. I mean, puppies are cute and all, but there is something about pictures of little kittens that put me over the absolute edge. Is it their little paws? Or the little noses? Or that ever-projecting little tale? I don't know, but I just love-em. When my kids and I find a new cute photo on the internet, we just sit around and stare – it's like magic. They give such a warm feeling inside.
Pictures of Kittens are so calming!
Again, this is total unscientific …BUT… looking at pictures of kittens is a very calming activity. Is it their innocence? Is it their playfulness? Is it the endless curiosity? Innocence, playfulness, curiosity – these attributes come out in many of the kitten photos I've seen. I think some of the best calming pictures of kittens I've seen are those when the little felines are peacefully asleep. I always feel so good when looking at these little fur-balls.
Pictures of Kittens – could they help with kitten adoption?
This is clearly a guess – but it occurred to me that those that are caught up in the euphoria of gazing at cute pictures of kittens may be enticed to go out there and adopt one for themselves. It seems logical to me. The kitten photo is unbelievable cute – but wait until they get the real thing – my heart just went pitter-patter. So, here’s a strategy – email your friends cute kitten pictures every so often – maybe they’ll get the bug to go out and adopt one – just a thought!
