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.

Rachel Hale is a remarkable photographer. As an added touch, she identifies each kitten by name and includes an appendix which comments on her personal experience while photographing each kitten. I felt like I knew each one!

The Dog

The Dog



Founder of Cubism, the prolific Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973) created 20,000 artworks during his lifetime. "The Dog," possibly a portrait of his dachshund, Lump, is the most famous of his numerous animal drawings. In contrast with the bold complexity of his other works, Picasso's beloved animals were always drawn with a gentle touch. His drawings of doves, flowers, butterflies and owls all reflect this minimalist style.

My son received this book as a gift from his first grade teacher for entering a project into the science fair. He enjoys reading this book over and over again.

It not only teaches about the worlds rarest animals but in the back of the book there is a world map of all the locations listed within the book. I believe that this book is great for educating our children on both science and geography. I would recommend this book to any science and animal lover.

Rabbit Facts

Rabbits are lagomorphs. This doesn't mean that they lag behind, or morph out on you, but it does mean many things.
1. There are over 55 different breeds of rabbits.
2. Their life span is 5-10 years (or until God says so). Unfortunately, many rabbits bought at pet stores and feed mills at an early age (3-4 weeks old) just don't have the life force (or immune system)) to make the quantum leap from Mom and family to the pet store/feed mill to your house. Which is why we advocate adopting a rabbit over "purchasing" one.
3. Their teeth grow during their entire life. Maloclussion occurs when there is an overbite or underbite. The teeth can be easily trimmed by your vet, so just because there are no bunny braces available doesn't mean that your pet has to be destroyed!
4. Each rabbit has it's own very distinct and definite personality--just like you!
5. Personality and temperament is not necessarily breed indicative. Spend time nose to nose with the rabbit before making your decision. Many times the rabbit that you did not think you would be "attracted" to will be the one to win your heart!
6. Rabbits can and should be spayed (females) or neutered (males). A blood panel should be run if the rabbit is over 5 years old "just to make sure" that everything is OK for surgery. Age rarely makes a difference! Females contract uterine and ovarian cancer and males contract prostrate and testicular cancer if left unaltered. Why take the chance??
7. Rabbits are easily litterbox trained (especially if they have been altered!)
8. Rabbits CANNOT survive in the "wild", so please do not abandon your pet! In many states, it is against the law to abandon your animal. Rabbits included!!
9. Rabbits can be litterbox trained! DO NOT use any kind of wood shavings! The urine of the rabbit mixes with the wood and produces a toxin which is stored in the liver. If your rabbit needed to undergo surgery, it would be quite possible that it could not come out of the anesthesia because of liver failure. Don't take the chance! Use hay (coastal bermuda), corn cob, or a recycled material that is not impregnated with chemicals or cedar oil.
10. Rabbits make incredible pets. They reduce stress. They jump on the couch with you. Mine helps me type!
