Thanks to all the lesnmasters whose lenses feature on this site
New additions - what you need to know
Please read this before suggesting your lens should be added to this lensography
This group is all about cats - specifically about providing useful information for cat owners. Lens listed here may provide links to commercial products - but only in moderation and only if completely relevant to cats and the lens in question.
It is not about individual cats, feline art or cats who sell T shirts, mugs or gadgets from Amazon or for me to be amazed at how many commercial links can be squeezed into one lens!
Please leave a link to your lens in the comments box below if you think it might fit. However, your request to join the group may be rejected if one of the following is applicable:
1) the lens does not have a major emphasis on the provision of good quality information about cats and cat breeds which falls within the scope of this group (see above)
2) the lens is not yet well developed - reapply when it is
3)the lens outlines advice about health issues but fails to source verifiable and qualified sources for that advice.
4) the lens appears to exist to promote the lens owner's products
5) the lens focuses mainly on an individual cat or selling things unrelated to the lens topic.
6) the lens comprises mainly commercial links which may or may not be 'on topic'.

Why Do Cats Always Land on Their Feet?: 101 of the Most Perplexing Questions Answered About Feline Unfathomables, Medical Mysteries and Befuddling Behaviors
Amazon Price: $7.83 (as of 05/28/2012)
Is My Cat Crazy?
If only it were that simple! But the fact is that your cat is very sensible indeed-about cat things. She knows how to scratch upright surfaces, cough up hairballs, send messages with her pee, and party all night. To the feline mind, these are the stuff of everyday life-as important as sleeping all day and grooming for several hours using nothing but your tongue.
Your clever kitty knows you very well (after all, she sits and stares at you when you're in the bathroom). But how well do you know her? Find out why cats knead against us, the best way to hold a cat, how cats can jump onto your kitchen counters without even a running start, why they chew on your sweaters.
Award-winning pet experts Dr. Marty Becker and Gina Spadafori explain the ins and outs of the feline psyche. Because the better you understand cats, the easier it is to love the kitty on your couch. Can you teach an old cat new tricks? You bet! Expecting a baby? It's perfectly okay to keep your cat. What about kittens? You'll find everything you always wanted to know about feline sex but were afraid to ask.
Your cat's not crazy, but she can be mysterious. Did you know cats can tell time? They talk with their tails and walk on their toes. And there are even rumors that some cats are descendents of space aliens. It's no wonder the ancient Egyptians were not the only ones who worshipped them.
You'll also find the answers to questions that tend to tickle your curiosity: Why do cats' eyes glow in the dark? What's in catnip that makes kitties so silly? Can curiosity really kill a cat?
You've got questions? This book's got answers. Do cats always land on their feet? Find out!
Cat vs Cat
Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat
Amazon Price: $8.52 (as of 05/28/2012)
Pam Johnson-Bennett, the award-winning author and feline behaviorist, shows how adding another cat to your home does not have to be the start of a kitty apocalypse. Although cats are often misunderstood as natural loners, Johnson-Bennett shows how to plan, set up, and maintain a home environment that will help multiple cats-and their owners-live in peace.
Cat vs. Cat will help readers understand the importance of territory, the specialized communication cats use to establish relationships and hierarchies, and how to interpret the so-called "bad behavior" that leads so many owners to needless frustration. Offering a wealth of information on how to diffuse tension, prevent squabbles and ambushes, blend two families, or help the elder kitty in your family, Cat vs. Cat is a welcome resource for both seasoned and prospective guardians of cat families large and small.
