Welcome To Felis.Net!
As pet owners we all have concerns on how to take care of our cat or cats. How do we take care of our kittens until they mature to a cat? What kind of care does a mature cat need?
Here are some examples of problems you might have with your kitten. Does he or she urinate on the floor and not in the litter box. Is your cat scratching your furniture up. Is your cat in heat? Is my cat pregnant and what is the gestation period for cats and so on... If you are looking for a certain breed of cat Siamese, Hemingway, Abyssian, forest, tortoiseshell, Himalayan cat and many more... From fat cats to black cats and calico cats we can help. We will have the latest News and the Up to date Blog and information for you.

From Amy Shojai, CABC: Cat Scratching Behavior
Untrained cats' illegal scratching is a common cause for surrender to shelters as well as for declawing cats. Neither of these draconian measures is really necessary. Once we understand why cats scratch, half the battle is over. Amy Shojai does an admirable job of teaching us how to train our cats to move toward legal scratching surfaces. Amy explains:
Don't forget to give him a legal alternative. Place the legal target in front of the damaged spot on the furniture. That way you can direct his claws appropriately, while he still has a preferred location for scratching. Once he's using the right scratching post, you can move it--six inches at a time every other day, until in a more acceptable place (for you AND the cat).

Make Your House a Home for Your Cat
Several years ago the About.com cats forum members were discussing the fact that cats should come with instructions. After all, most of us wouldn't invest in a new computer without consulting a user's manual, would we? Why would anyone want to adopt a cat without an iota of knowledge about its care and feeding?
At the time, Gary Loewenthal was the Host for the forum. He and I put our heads together and came up with the idea of "Shelter Sheets," a collection of one-page printable documents that animal shelters, cat shelters, and other humane groups could download and print. A sort of "Owners' Manual for cats." "How to Make Your House a Home for Your Cat" is one of these shelter sheets. It offers a breakdown of all those things a cat need to make your cat want to stay with you forever.

Loss of a Good Cat-Man
We received notice last night of the loss of a well-loved Cats Forum member, Leroy (lwittemire). Leroy had a droll sense of humor, but was no-holds-barred where it came to his deep love of cats, not only for his own, but for all cats.
Leroy's passion for cats was demonstrated during Operation Holly, a forum-wide rescue for adoption of a beautiful little foundling cat who showed up at the doorstep of Jeannie, a longtime, very popular forum member. Jeannie could not keep Holly because of issues with her other cats, but was caring for her in her garage until a loving home could be found for her. Jamie, another well-liked forum member, had a co-worker who was interested in adopting a needy cat. The problem was getting Holly from Arkansas to Pennsylvania. Options were discussed: air cargo transport vs a ground relay team. All the missing links were eventually closed, and Leroy volunteered for the second relay spot, from Ohio to western PA. The photo shown here is Leroy with Holly during a stop at his home in Mansfield, Ohio.
All who knew Leroy, knew of his passionate dedication to cats, including people who worked with him. He was a role model for men who love cats. Leroy was also extremely devoted to his wife, Valarie, and to his Mother. He will be sorely missed by all who shared his life, and I offer my deepest condolences to Val and the rest of his family. Please join the Cats Forum members in a Celebration of Leroy's Life. We all love you, Leroy.
