Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Star of the Week for May 4 - 10, 2008
Lola is our Kitty of the Week...
And her person-mom says,
Lola is my baby. We (my boyfriend and I) found her on the side of the road
because my boyfriend heard her crying. She has been the joy of our lives ever
since. She is about 9 months old. She is a tabby cat I think.
Lola enjoys long naps and sleeping in her bed that we bought for her. She also
really loves human food, I cook her fish, chicken and steak on occasion.
She is very spunky and plays most of the day. She loves to hide hair clips and
bands. She also sits in the bathroom anytime someone is in the bath or shower.
She likes to pounce on you while you sleep but also enjoys watching TV with
you and cuddling. Lola hates wearing the sweater we bought her, and one day she
took it off and carried it to where we keep the laundry. (I guess she thought
it was dirty ..lol)
We love her...
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...

Lady Jane says, "Hey," while Hunny denies everything
Lady Jane warns Hunny, but Hunny is just waiting for her chance!

Some cat facts...
- Abyssinians are muscular cats with amber, hazel, or green eyes, and with hairs that have three bands of ticking.
- A cat in good shape can run 30 miles per hour, but not for long distances, because cats are sprinters.
- The nutritional need of cats depends upon their age, size and activity level. But on average, the adult cat needs about 30 calories per pound. An 8 pound cat needs about 240 calories/day.
- Do not feed your cat people-food or dog-food. A cat's dietary needs are very different from humans and dogs.
- "Cat Fancy" is a term that refers to pedigree cats and their breeding, and to cat clubs and societies.
- A kitten will knead its mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow.
- The rough, upper surface of a cat's tongue is covered with papillae (small bumps).
- The Himalayn breed resulted from crossing Siamese and Persians.

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
