 Does
your cat vomit more than normal? Your cat
could have a sensitivity
to corn. Zeetlegoo the
cat (aka "The Barfmeister"
and "Barf-a'Matic") had this problem
and switching her to a corn-free
diet made the vomiting stop.

Declawing Cats
The
American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has just
revised their policy on declawing cats.
In a nutshell,
they recommend only declawing a cat after all other attempts
to prevent destructive behavior have failed.
Read the
AVMA policy
here.
If you
are still uncertain whether to declaw your cat, here are
some very graphic pictures of a cat being declawed
here.
In
February 2006, at the age of 5, Sammy came to Zeetlegoo’s
Pet & People Store. For the first couple months, timid
Sammy rarely ventured out of the back office; however, he
was still hard at work conducting trials of different brands
of kitty litter.
Nowadays, Sammy can often be seen nibbling on cat grass or
lounging by the front door.
 
As
you can see. he has really taken to the life of a store
cat...

The Sammy Approval Seal
The
long awaited, much anticipated
SAMMY TESTED & APPROVED
product list is finally here!
Sammy
has spent many dedicated hours researching
foods,
treats, cat litters, beds
and most importantly (to Sammy anyway) -
toys!
www.frolicat.com
Without a doubt, Sammy's favorite toy is the Frolicat Bolt laser toy.
The toy has a 15 minute random laser pattern sequence!
We turn
the toy on when we are leaving Sammy in the evening, and he
gets 15 minutes of chasing fun!
In true feline spirit, Sammy also
enjoys real fur toys - everything from a simple fur ball to
a 9" twisty fur squirrel toy. Real feathers are a hit
with Sammy as well, especially on the end of a wand or a
piece of string.
Sammy is
now eating Innova Senior dry cat food and not only has he
lost weight, he seems to have more energy. This
formula has higher fiber which helps prevent fur balls and
constipation and it is also lower calorie for the less
active senior cat. Another benefit is the
addition of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for healthy
joints.
In
addition, he gets Grizzly Salmon Oil as a supplement since
he is very prone to shedding. Sammy's fur became very
silky and the shedding decreased almost immediately after
starting him on the oil.
Taking
first place in the cat litter trials is Ever Clean Unscented
cat litter (www.everclean.com).
It has superior clumping yet it doesn't stick to the side of
the litter pan. Ever Clean also had the best odor
control of all the litters tested. Ever Clean initially
seems expensive however, a 25# box lasts an entire month
before the entire litter box needs to be completely emptied
and cleaned.
Sammy never ceases to amuse. Following the new
expansion of the store, Sammy took a mere week to get used
to an additional 1,000 sq. ft of roaming space. In his
travels he apparently discovered the Four Paws Ski Slope
Scratcher. One late evening, strange noises were heard
from the front of the store. There was Sammy running
back and forth trying to get the little mouse inside the
slope. Since then it has provided him with hours of
swatting pleasure.
