It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
Exotic Cat Breeds
Most people barely know about regular cat breeds — and have no idea that exotic cat breeds even exist. The truth is that many cat breeds are extremely rare, or are mixed with cats that are found in the jungle.

Best Breeds of Cats
Most people know a little bit about dog breeds. They can typically tell you what are the most popular dog breeds for families, which dog breeds are best for guarding locations, and which dog breeds shed the most. But, when it comes to cats, it's a totally different story.

Saving My Baby Girl
It was sometime between May and June. My boyfriend, at the time, surprised me with the notion to get a kitten. He told me to really think about what kind of cat I wanted since I could only get one. I've had so many cats throughout my entire life. So, this time I really thought about it. I made up my mind with getting an all grey cat. I've never had an all grey cat, and I always thought they were so pretty. I looked long and hard for a kitten that was all grey. I even went to craigslist—before it was scary. And, right there in a post, I saw ALL GREY CATS. So, I rush to get a hold of the woman that posted it. She agreed to meet with me. It wasn't far at all. Maybe 10–15 minutes away from my home. I was so excited!
Why You Shouldn't Declaw Your Cat
If you own a cat, odds are at least one piece of your furniture has suffered the price of being used as a personal scratching post. Many people consider declawing their furry friend to protect their furniture, but in this article I am going to explain why that can negatively affect your cat, as well as list some alternatives to declawing.
Black Cats
Odds are you've seen at least one black cat in your life, but was that cat fully black? A lot of the "black" cats you see today have white spots or patches on their fur, usually the chest or stomach. Why is that? To explain we are going to have to take a small trip back in time.
My First Cat
I remember getting my first cat when I was about four or five years old. I don't remember where my mom got it, or if someone gave it to her, but I was happy to have a pet I could play with; we already had at least one dog, but I don't remember ever playing with them even though one would beg for food during meals in our tiny kitchen; my mom or anyone else would throw scraps of tortilla or even a whole tortilla out the kitchen for the dog(s) to go eat outside. We didn't know to treat pets the way people do in the United States.

Omar's Diary
Thank you for your time and allowing me to introduce myself to you. My name is "Omar." As you can see from my portrait, I am a feline of quality breeding, Tonkinese in fact, who has been used to the good things in life, lost them, and is slowly recovering them. Life has not always been kind to me. Before I settled into my current home I was, as George Orwell said about Paris, "down and out." I was not in Paris but in Bournemouth where I was rescued from my homeless plight by a voluntary organisation. They gave me refuge for a few days and then settled me into the place that I now call "home" here on the edge of The New Forest. I share my home with one other feline and two members of the servant species.

My Pussy Roomie
About a year ago, I became a boarder in a house with three cats. It isn't that I actively dislike cats; I am merely indifferent towards them, but I've had to live with the consequences of moving into what used to be Himeji's room— the young girl pictured above.

How the Cat Charms Birds
Once there was a bright red bird, who spoke his mind with big loud words, while he sat on a springy hickory limb. Well, one day when he was sitting, thinking,

Cats In the Cradle Means a Man In the House
As a young child, the cats in my house were a couple of pet rabbits. That was simply the best I was going to do. A dog was clearly out and my mother was allergic to cats (which all moms say when their kids pine for a pet). But my senior year in high school had my mom unable to say no to a precocious little cat named Tiffany. Here, I began to receive my education on the merits of a cat's meowing.

Ekanath the Aerialist
Bengals have become quite a popular breed of cat in the UK over the last couple of years. Among one of the more expensive cat breeds (a recent article listed them as the third most expensive to buy) they are sometimes bought as a status symbol but more often it is because they are a very beautiful cat. Known for their loyalty, intelligence and the ability to learn tricks, this has also made them popular. However, they can also be a very challenging pet and anyone considering one should take this into account. They have an abundance of energy and they will need to work it off in order to live a happy life. This means either access to the outdoors or their guardian setting aside a lot of time to play with them, to help them stay active, entrained and to help them avoid boardroom.

Milky Smith
My sweet Milky Smith left me to fly with the bumblebees this morning. He was 11 calendar years old, which is two billion thirty million seven hundred thousand four hundred fifty-five centipede larval cycles for an equivalent and relatable frame of reference.
