sure Possum doesn't play too rough with her!

We've separated out the cat themed items here and have
organized them into some different price categories. About 400 are
priced under 10
dollars (be patient for that page to download!). And around 500 are between
$10-$25. Magnets, notecards,
art prints and other goodies are available, too. Whimsical and funny, cute and
cuddly, realistic and photographic -- something for everyone! Great gifts for you
cat-loving friends and relatives.

Baby has visited before and she's quite the wild cat:
We've got a return visit from Sasha and Sweetpea. They are hanging out on
their sofa, a thankfully familiar piece of furniture after their move.
During the move, however, Sweetpea wasn't too sure about what was going on.
I'm curious but feel safer under here
Lady Jane, on the other hand, is quite relaxed.

A visit from Joshua (November 2003):
I was abandoned -- but not now!
Some cat facts...
- There are 4 tabby patterns: classic, spotted, Abyssinian, and striped (also known as mackerel).
- "Muzzle" is the projecting jaw and nose of a cat.
- Cat can hear sounds at much higher frequencies than humans -- up to 100,000 hertz as opposed to our 20,000 hertz.
- "Cat" in Icelandic is "kottur."
- The rough, upper surface of a cat's tongue is covered with papillae (small bumps).
- "Frill" is the fur around the head that is brushed up to form a frame for the cat's face.
- When a cat wants to sleep more than a "cat nap," he or she will enter a period of light sleep that lasts for about 1/2 hour. Then the cat moves into deep sleep for 6-7 minutes. These two phases will alternate until the cat wakes up.
- A cat in good shape can run 30 miles per hour, but not for long distances, because cats are sprinters.
