FLASH CARDS FOR CATS!

This clever product is designed for the cat to train 
the human, rather than the other way around 
(which most agree doesn't work very well!)

Developed by Su Ewing, a part President of
the Cat Writers' Association,
this won the top prize, a Muse Medallion,
at the 2011 CWA annual conference.

Su has written a number of books about dogs, 
including a few "dogs for dummies" books
(we certainly approve of her view that
dogs are dummies)

and it seems she was intimidated by a cat
and had to capitalize on the fact that
THE CAT WAS TRAINING HER!

Thirty-five years ago, Jeanne Adlon became New York City's first official full-time cat sitter. This is her amazing story, filled with anecdotal cat tales alongside her unique brand of common-sense advice for cat owners.

With the help of co-author Susan Logan, editor of Cat Fancy magazine, Jeanne's escapades will warm the hearts of animal lovers everywhere. Follow her as she dodges tarantulas, keeps certain cats kosher, feeds pampered felines in Waterford goblets, wrestles a determined kitty for a Thanksgiving dinner, plays ghost with a psychic cat and much more.

Read her practical advice on everything from adopting a new cat, litter box behaviors, food issues, and health care to play time, cat nip, grooming, scratching and elder care. Both authors will donate a portion of their Cat Calls royalties to animal rescue, rehabilitation and preservation organizations.

Why are cats better than dogs? Isn't it obvious? Still, there are hold-outs who'd argue the point. To end the controversy once and for all, best-selling author and ailurophile, Allia Zobel Nolan, went to the cats themselves for backup of their claims.  And in her new kitty expose, I'd Rather Be a Cat: The Official "Better than Dogs Cat Book, she reveals why cats believe--no, actually, why they KNOW-- they are better than the competition.

    Purr More, Hiss Less:
    Heavenly Lessons I Learned From My Cat

Finally, a book for all cats to share with their humans! Every cat knows that there would be no problems in the world if humans acted more like cats. Certainly there would be no wars if world leaders remembered that Fighting takes away from the time you could be chasing butterflies, and there were be fewer small conflicts if everyone agreed that If you must walk all over people, do it quickly. Imagine a world where the business mantra was Resist the urge to claw your way to the top, or if youngsters followed Do not worship idols. Big purrs to Allia Zobel Nolan for these wise words, and to Erika Oller, whose precious cats come in all sizes and colors.

Kitty, are you wasting your nine lives by always napping on the same windowsill, chasing the dog around the kitchen table, sniffing catnip mousies on the couch?

If so, you're in a rut. Roberta Beach Jacobson, Cat Lady blogger at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, encourages you to take charge, to strut your stuff, to be your own cat. She offers an inspirational exercise for every day of the month.

Who doesn't desire to lead a flealess, fearless feline life?

Terzo thinks this book is PURRfect to help bored cats Stay Out of Trouble, and of course he approves of the black and white coloring of the cover cat.

Now, of course, he has to lobby for His Own Tree.
