Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Star of the Week for June 14 - 20, 2009
This week our star is Seaweed:
And his person-mom writes,
"This is my newest addition to my cat family. His name is "SEAWEED."
He is a red tabby kitten who is only about 7 weeks old. He is so adorable and
a joy to have in my family. I got him from a friend whose cat had kittens and
he needed to find homes for them. I know how hard it is to find homes,
and the tragedies that occur when kitties have to be taken to the Humane
Society. My first cat, Seymore, who I still have, was from
Pasadena Humane Society in California, and he has been nothing but a joy to
me for over 11 years.
Seaweed is probably the youngest kitty I have ever taken in by myself. He is
so full of energy and has the cutest face. I simply love him to bits and
wanted to share him with you."
Enjoy all the
Previous Stars of the Week.

We've got a return visit from Earl Grey and Baby. Their mom says,
"I remodeled a doggy sweater for Earl. He likes it. I hemmed up
the bottom and tacked down the collar so it doesn't flip up, and sewed bells on
it. He is very vain about it and thinks and knows he is a hot kitty."
"Baby just loves her jewelry. This is her new necklace."
"But she hates red hats!! This is a bonnet and she is letting me
know and showing me the "dainty" way of taking it off!!"

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.)
- "Anurous" is a term used to describe a tailless cat.
- "Polydactyl" refers to the situation where a cat has more toes than normal on one or more feet. 5 toes are normal for the front feet; 4 toes are normal for the back feet.
- Kittens during their first month only experience deep sleep, which lasts for 12 total hours each day.
- A cat in good shape can run 30 miles per hour, but not for long distances, because cats are sprinters.
- "Cat Fancy" is a term that refers to pedigree cats and their breeding, and to cat clubs and societies.
- If a cat's tail is up with a relaxed tip, he/she is saying, "Happy to see you!"
- Adult cats sleep a total of about 16 hours a day.

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
