June is Adopt A Cat Month
According to the National Council on Pet Population Study & Policy’s Shelter Statistic Survey taken from 1994-1997, less than 25% of cats that enter a shelter are adopted. You can do something to help change that number. Adopt a Cat Month, sponsored by the American Humane Association and 9Lives® Morris’ Million Cat Rescue™, helps encourage people to consider adopting from a shelter when they are looking to add to their furry feline family.
Adding a new pet to the family is not something to do the spur of the moment. Adding another cat to a household that already has a cat should also be carefully considered. I’ve been lucky and over the years all my introductions have gone well, no matter if it has been an adult cat or a kitten being introduced. The picture is of 2 of my shelter adoptees, Tyke, who was adopted as a kitten 14 years ago and Pyro, adopted as a 9-month old, almost 4 years ago. Cat Watch, a newsletter put out by Cornell, has an article that offers good information on introducing a new cat and getting your household set up so problems are minimized.
So think adoption, if you are thinking about a new pet. You’ll be enriching 2 lives.

Introduction and Hello
Hello! I started this blog to help give other people my view and experience withdifferent pet products so they could have more information before they make a purchase. People are spending more on their pets every year. The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, Inc that consumers spent an estimated 38.4 billion dollars on their pets in 2006. Of that amount, 9.3 billion was spent on pet products and over-the-counter medications. How much of that amount did you spend on your fur family members? I know I spent a lot. Working for a pet supply retailer does not help!
Since my current fur family includes dogs, cats, ferrets and rabbits, those are the products I will be reviewing and commenting on. Since not all pets are like every other pet, I’d appreciate your comments and input as well, so let me know what you think!
