Catster Meow! Stopping furniture clawing, showing off on HGTV and much more insideMarch 22, 2007 | back to newsletter archive |
 March Meows from Catster! Well, we're more than halfway through March, and you know what that means? Spring is here! No more salty paws or, for those of us living in non-snowy climates, no more cold wet paws. Anymeow, here at Catster HQ we have lots of fun stuff to share. Cat Lost and Found Study A recent study shows that a lost dog is more likely to be reunited with its owner than a lost cat. In one city in southwestern Ohio, for example, researchers found that 71 percent of lost dogs were found, compared to just 53 percent of lost cats. The survey showed that an additional 1.7 days pass before a cat owner considers his indoor/outdoor cat missing. (Average time before a dog owner reports his pup missing: 1.2 days) The best course of action is to have a plan in place in case Fluffy ever goes missing, and talk to your vet about having your cat chipped. Cats can wander further than dogs and may end up at shelters/pounds not close to their home city.
We at Catster know how much you love your cat! And if you're one of those folks that pampers their kitties with handmade collars, treats, clothing, bowls, beds or toys, HGTV wants to know about it. They're doing a segment all about something we at Catster know all too well: People that love their pets! Read more about the possibility of being showcased in an upcoming feature on HGTV.com. Curious Cat Tip #101 Q: Yikes! Kitty and his claws! How do I stop my cat from clawing at the carpet or the side of my couch?
Another hint would be to keep the little guy's claws trimmed. If you've never done this, ask your vet for direction. Some vets will even do this for you on a monthly basis free of charge. For more information on this topic or any other feline quandary you may have, leap onto Catster Forums. One For All And All For Cat!
