When JJ, my $3,000 street rescue, took me hostage in 2005 she was possibly six months old and pregnant.

Ordinarily the City would be thick with cars and trucks and buses, but not this morning, not any morning now.

How to Keep a Happy Relationship Between You and Your Feline Friend?

When you get a cat as a pet, whether it is a kitten or an older cat, it is natural to want to bond with your new furry companion.
