It’s been a year full of the tragic unknown. But happy tidings are occurring deep within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California. Which happens to be the largest urban national park in the country. Staggeringly, it encompassing more than 150,000 acres of mountains and coastline! Tucked away in the expansive wooded region, […] More
When you or your family decide to add a pet to your home, there are MANY things to consider. Do you have other animals that will need to get along with your new fur-kid? Are you home a lot or do you spend most days out? What is the level of play activity that you’ll […] More
We all love cats because of their personalities. The way they loaf, make us earn their trust and act in the strangest ways. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. And even though I’m just coming across this story now, apparently the animal at the heart of the tale, feels the same way about […] More
Owl’s story began on the set of a horror movie. Literally. The barn that this spicy little black kitten was found at is next to where the movie franchise “The Ring” was filmed. So one can only imagine what spooky things the felines have seen there! But the supernatural aside, this frightened kitten named Owl, […] More
It’s like the age old question of “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” In this case, it’s more of “If humans aren’t around, how do wild animals spend their time?” The land is rife with natural beauty, from the cliffs above […] More
Cats do lots of cool things. And when they do these cool things we often hope that they make a habit of them. Cats perching on your shoulders is definitely one of those cool things. But not all cats do this, obviously. I’ve had a lot of cats in my day, but none of them […] More
Cats are finicky little beings. They will only allow you to pet them when they want—and where they want. Should you want them to come over to you, they are going to come when they want at the pace that they want, too. Really, it’s a cat’s world and we’re just living in it. When […] More
It’s been said that cat’s spend 70% of their lives asleep. And because of this, it might actually mean that there’s more to it than just sleep. Cats sleep a lot for a few reasons, actually. One of which is because of their high protein diet, they need to sleep so that their bodies can […] More
Does this sound familiar? Your cat jumps into your lap, and instead of getting cozy, she bops her head against your chin, cheek, or forehead. Sometimes she includes a quick rub (doing her best to get fur all in your mouth), and sometimes she hits so hard it actually hurts. The encounter lasts only a […] More
Cats are masters at awkward staring. They train their pretty peepers on a favorite person, and it could be several minutes before they blink or look away. It’s like they’re staring into our souls and watching every move we make. It can be heartwarming as well as a little unnerving, but have you ever wondered […] More
Cats are interesting little beings. They will suddenly zoom across the room, they will appear to us as if they are watching things that aren’t really there, and they will lick us—or things—that make us wonder why the heck it is they are doing that. One of the things that cats often like to lick […] More
17th century English clergyman Thomas Fuller once said one of the most famous quotes that we know today. “Seeing is believing, but feeling is the truth.” Many of us only remember the first part of that quote, as the latter is typically not included. Obviously, a person who doesn’t believe in ghosts or spirits would […] More
