ADOPTION UPDATES:

It was a long haul... but "Messier" (our former office buddy) finally got adopted to a great couple. His charm and irresistable personality really won them over. A happy ending for a truly amazing companion. We thought his fans would like to know!!!!


Litter....did you know?

• The claws on a cat's back feet aren't as sharp as the claws on the front feet because they can't retract into the toe, therefore they're continually being worn down by walking.

• Calico cats are almost always female.

• The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique,just like the fingerprint of a human.

• Unlike a dog, a cat wags it's tail when its anxious, excited or threatened...not when it's happy.

• Cats have existed longer than humans.

• Cats can jump 5 times their height.

• The domestic cat is the only species of cat that can hold it's tail vertically while walking.

• Cats have the largest eyes in proportion to their body size of all mammals.

• Cats usually have 12 whiskers on each side of it's nose.
