Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Star of the Week
This week we have Smokey.
His person-dad writes,
"Smokey is a VERY fussy cat, he'll only let you pet him
on his chin or on top of his head. Anywhere else, and
watch out! He's got some quick paws! He'll eat nothing
but cat food (not even cat treats) and spends most of
the day sleeping and being pretty antisocial! The only
time he's much fun is in the mornings, when he's extra
lovey and will fight for your attention.
Smokey's definitely a creature of habit, because he'll sit
by the sliding glass door and bathe in the sunlight
all day.
Enjoy all the
Previous Stars of the Week.

From the Crazy for Kitties mailbox: One of the casting directors for Animal
Planet's "My Cat from Hell" -- Judy Lee -- is looking for people
who have cats with behavioral issues. The show features cat behavior expert
Jackson Galaxy, who has helped many cats and their people -- maybe he can
help your cat or the cat of someone you know. If you live in the Los Angeles
area and have a crazy cat, contact Judy -- check out the casting information page at My Cat from Hell.
Maybe your cat has that devilish star quality!

- Adult cats sleep a total of about 16 hours a day.
- "Snub" means the short noses seen in some of the longhaired varieties.
- The first cat show was held in 1871 in London, England.
- "Cat" in French is "chat."
- Most cats have between 20 and 24 tail bones in their tails.
