Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Stars of the Week
Our submitter writes,
"Mia is one year old. She is a mixed breed but I don't know of what.
She lives in Massachusetts with me, my family and her sister Tia. Her
favorite toy is a cotton ball mouse that I made for her but is now
gone because she ripped it apart. Mia loves to snooze near the
window and get patted, but she loathes to be held for some reason.
She will always meow when you pick her up. If you catch her in a
good mood she will let you hold her, but I still love her."
"Tia is also one years old and is the same breed as Mia. Tia is a
cutie that loves to cuddle up with you. She loves to be held and
doesn't fuss when I have to brush her teeth (unlike Mia who hisses).
Her favorite toy is a little bead that she can hit around like a
soccer ball."
Enjoy all the

From the Crazy for Kitties mailbox: One of the casting directors for Animal
Planet's "My Cat from Hell" is looking for more people (4th season)
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 the show -- check out the casting information page at My Cat from Hell.
Maybe your cat has that devilish star quality!

Some cat facts...
- "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.
- Cats without protective pigmentation can get sunburned. White cats are especially susceptible.
- The coat color of the Russian Blue is an even blue shade with a lustrous, silvery sheen.
- The rough, upper surface of a cat's tongue is covered with papillae (small bumps).
- A kitten will knead its mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow.
- Cats can get acne! Usually, the acne takes the form of blackheads on the cat's chin and/or upper lip.
- Cat can hear sounds at much higher frequencies than humans -- up to 100,000 hertz as opposed to our 20,000 hertz.
- Most cats have between 20 and 24 tail bones in their tails.
