Pets Miou and her cats Hush Puppy, Lucyfur and Trouble send Happy Mew Year's wishes to all for a purrfect year ahead filled with joy, love and peace.

THAXT7's orange and white tabby kitty, Ben takes a well deserved break after a long rehearsal for his New Year's Eve gig.

This accomplished bass player is definately a "hip" cat. I wish I could attend this sold- out event.

Ben asked me to share his best wishes to all for a happy and SAFE Mew Year.

Recently I received an email which posed a question to which I have often wondered. Am I the only person who while on vacation or away for an extended time, would take a moment out of my day to make a phone call to my kitties? I have to admit that I have been guilty of doing this. Could it be that my friend Donna's cat, Chester is waiting to hear the phone ring?

Of course when I have been out of town, I have called my cat sitter each day to inquire about my kitties. But I think placing an actual phone call to our cats depends on their purrsonality and the nature of our relationship with them.

Mr. Tigger, who owns Rosi, aka M00NLTSNTA, appears to be slowly blending into the blanket pattern.

Cheshire cats disappear quick as a flash, but Mr. Tigger seems to have chosen to purposefully transform into a chameleon kitty.

In all my years of living with cats, I have never seen this behavior.

What do you think is on Mr. Tigger's mind? Leave a comment and help us out with a good reason.

I wonder what secret Hush Puppy, our lilac point Oriental Shorthair is sharing with his brother, Trouble.

Are they planning a holiday gift for their fur- mom and dad? Or is Hush Puppy telling Trouble about a hidden new toy he discovered in our closet? Or is he just complaining about dinner?

What do you think is going on here? Leave a comment and let me know. Being on pins and needles is driving me crazy.

It takes a special touch and a passion for animals in order to capture their essence in artwork. Laura J. Smith embodies these two requisites in a way that truly honors them.

I had the pleasure of discovering The Artwork of Laura J. Smith through our mutual love of Barbaro, the great race horse. Obviously being an animal lover myself, I love her wonderful sketches, her greeting cards, and holiday ornaments.

While there is no guarantee that these items will be delivered in time for the holidays, they make wonderful gifts for any time of the year. 25% of the proceeds from these prints, 100% of the proceeds from her greeting cards and $5.00 per ornament will be donated to the Fund to Fight Laminitis at The New Bolton Center in PA.

Visit Laura's tips page to get fabulous ideas for taking great photographs of your pets and send us a link to them for our viewing pleasure.

I get the feeling that this adorable stray orange-and-white tabby kitten recently trapped and rescued by my cat loving friend Gene, is a shoe-in for his new home.

With an abundance of bottled water, plently of good food and tender love, this little guy must be delighted to find a warm home, away from the snow and ice.

All that is missing for this little boy, is a name. Help Gene by leaving a comment with your suggestions.
