The cat is believed to be an ancestor to the African wild cat.

The cat has been living with humans from 3500 to 8000 years.

There are over 500 million domestic cats world wide with approximately 146 million cats in the United States and about half are feral/unowned.

In California, more than $50 million per year (coming largely from taxes) is spent by animal control agencies and shelters for cat-related expenses.

Every day, 10,000 humans are born in the United States, while 70,000 kittens and puppies are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all of the animals, resulting in the euthanization of many of them.
 
A cat can have 1 – 8 kittens 2 – 3 times a year.

More then 35,000 kittens are born every day in the US  with about over 1,000,000 (a million) cats are born a year world wide.

A domestic cat can sprint at about 31 miles per hour.

Cats’ hearing stops at 65 khz (kilohertz); humans’ hearing stops at 20 khz.

Cats purr at the same frequency as an idling diesel engine, about 26 cycles per second.

Cats can spend up to 30% of their day grooming.

The average cat weighs 12 pounds.

21% of homes in the US have at least one cat.

Americans spend 4 billion dollars a year on cat food.

Catnip is their favorite herb

The average cost to care for a cat for its life is $7,000.00.

I think that my cats life time will go$7,000 mark because I spoil their every day of the year.

New Kitty Cat to Our Home

There are lots of things one needs to consider when bring a new cat home to be with the family.

• First, select a veterinarian to help you care for your cat. Set up an appointment for his/her physical to have a clean bill of health and a schedule for boosters shots, spaying and other things your feline friend will need to be a healthy cat.
• If there are children in the home let them participate on how to care for their new companion. Read up as much as possible on how to care for your new cat.  You can find lots of articles on the internet for any specific question you may have about your cat care.
• If you have gotten your cat from a pet store, veterinarian or friend make sure you ask them their feeding schedule and type of food.  Once your new kitty has settled in the new home, gradually mix in the new food you’ll be using because cats generally don’t like changes in their diet.
• Purchase the essential item you will need such as a litter box and litter, feeding dishes, a cat bed, grooming tools, cat scratcher,  a climber and a few toys.
• Make sure someone in the family be responsible for feeding your cat, cleaning the litter box daily and grooming your little friend.
• and, finally make sure you have play time and quite time with your new kitty cat.

In the Middle Ages it was a common belief that witches could shape shift into a cat. Today there are many “black cat” superstitions such as a cat walking under a ladder. However, most people take these thoughts as silly.  Black cats are loved just as any other cats. 

Many families like to dress up the Cats this time of the year.  However, do our cats really enjoy wearing a Halloween costume? I don’t think so. Most cats don’t like to be dressed up. In fact, I think Halloween is the least favorite holidays for most cats.  The loud noises, screaming kids coming in and out the front door, scary costumes and constant opening the front door completely frighten our poor little feline friends.  On this Halloween eve, I recommend you keep your cat in one room during the trick-or-treat festivities. If you have an outdoor cat, bring he in for the evening. Don’t force your cat to dress up in a costume they don’t want to wear.  Keep your cat away from candy because it could make them sick.  And, finally give your Cat his favorite Halloween treat  catnip.

Because catnip is a plant, and you want the very best for your cat, you should buy only 100% organically grown catnip. This means your cat won’t be exposed to any harmful pesticides that were used to grow the catnip. Also, look for toys that are completely stuffed with catnip and not supplemented with cotton fill or lesser grade catnip. If you buy better quality catnip, it will last longer and your cat will be much happier!

All cats respond differently to catnip. Some of them walk away cuz they couldn’t care less, but others go ape. The cats that do go crazy are responding to the active ingredient in catnip called Nepetalactone. The reaction to this chemical is caused by the organ that operates a cat’s five senses (touch, smell, sight, sound and taste.)

Those cats that do react will eat it or lick it; some roll in it and others just sniff it. The catnip reaction is inherited so not all of them respond. If your cat’s behavior doesn’t change around catnip it’s nothing to worry about.

Catnip is completely safe and isn’t addictive to cats so give your feline friend a treat like our 100% Organically Grown Catnip. every now and then. The most amusing thing about giving cats catnip is the behavior change. Although it’s safe, keep in mind you can have too much of a good thing. Give your cat a catnip banana today.
