Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Star of the Week for May 11 - 17, 2008
Bicir lives in suburban Toronto in a nice house with a garden and two
humans. Bicir has a lot of energy - he
likes to jump up on high places, chase flies, and play with his toys.
His favorite toys are the little light dot that is so much fun to
chase from the laser light pen, and his cat dancer. He also enjoys
batting, chewing, and kicking his stuffed mice.
Bicir likes to follow his female human around the house during the
day (the male one is out working). He tries to talk to his humans,
but they seem a little hard of hearing and don't always understand
what he wants. One thing they do that Bicir doesn't like is when
they go away and leave him at the cat hotel. But he is so happy
when they come back.
Enjoy all the
Previous Stars of the Week.

Earl Gray's mom says he looks at himself in the mirror a lot but she usually
can't get a picture of him when he does. But she did this time:
I wasn't looking!
Who is that cat?
He's a handsome one!
Earl Gray lives with other kitties and a rabbit, Hunny Bunny. Hunny likes to
play with Lady Jane's tail, as we see...

Some cat facts...
- Cats need a lot of protein, between 25 and 30 percent of the dry content per serving must be protein. A diet with less than 19 percent protein can cause illness. (Dog food should not be given to cats.)
- Kittens during their first month only experience deep sleep, which lasts for 12 total hours each day.
- "Cobby" means short and sturdy on low legs.
- Change your cat's food only gradually by mixing the new food into the current food in small quantities at first. Abrupt changes can cause diarrhea.
- "Genotype" is the onstitution of an animal as described by its genes rather than its appearance.
- Being able to reduce the pupils to slits rather than tiny circles gives cats greater and more accurate control of how much light enters their eyes; this ability is particularly important in bright sunlight.
- There are 4 tabby patterns: classic, spotted, Abyssinian, and striped (also known as mackerel).
- Cats without protective pigmentation can get sunburned. White cats are especially susceptible.

Chance's Second Chance.
My name is Chance, I am a young female grey tiger cat. Once I had a home.
People wanted me when I was a cute tiny kitten, but as I grew out of the
kitten stage, I was no longer
wanted. One day one of the humans picked me up and put me in the car and
took me for a ride far from home. [More...]
Chance was rescued by Kats-N-Kittens
