Trying to figure out whether or not bamboo is safe for cats? The answer may appear to be a straightforward yes at first glance. After all, the single best source online for determining whether a substance is toxic to a pet - the ASPCA website - states outright that bamboo is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. Unfortunately, however, as you likely …
Cat Collars with Bells: The Classic, The Cute, & The Careful
As far as cat collars go, there are one heck of a lot of options to choose from these days. While I've only ever bought one cat collar in my life, a gorgeous red-leather one with a custom "Have Your People Call My People" ID tag I picked up on Etsy, when I see how many adorable options there are these days, it's hard for me to resist starting a …
A Black Cat Named “Snowball” & Other Ironic Cat Names
I'm a huge fan of irony. I've seen quite a lot of "funny pet name" articles floating around the net, and while most of them are chalked full of wonderfully entertaining pet name suggestions, I feel they're often a little thin in the ironic-humour department.

To be fair, back in Toronto, I would never have had the …
Help! My Cat’s Personality Changed After Adopting a Second Cat!
I'm going to start this article off by stating - I've never had more than one cat before. Not yet at least, I expect to sometime in the (hopefully) very near future. Taking this household from a one cat, to a two-or-three cat household has always been my plan. But I haven't done so yet for a couple reasons. My first reason? Moving. I knew I was …
Ever Bought Pet Insurance for Cats? Please Share Your Experiences!
I've never bought pet insurance in my life before. My brother, John, has. His cat Beau has had way more than a fair share of bad luck with health problems in his young life, resulting in John taking the plunge a year or so ago with buying pet insurance for Beau. Beau's sadly had quite a long string of issues with UTIs that resulted in a double …
