Welcome to Crazy for Kitties and Cats!
Kitty Stars of the Week for February 14 - 20, 2010
This week our stars are Lucy and Linus:
Hey There
Our submitter writes,
Lucy and Linus are 6 years old. They are not only sister and brother, but also
best friends. Lucy was born in Michigan, and moved with her Mom and Dad to
Chicago where they adopted Linus. Last year, the whole family moved to
Pittsburgh. Lucy (orange) and Linus (gray) are very adventurous and love to
play in their Cat Cubes. Lucy loves to be brushed, and Linus loves to have his
belly scrached. They are enjoying their big 3 story house in Pittsburgh,
because they have tons of stairs to chase each other up and down, and even
have their own room on the top floor! Lucy has been attached to her Beanie
Baby "Wrinkles" since she was a kitten. Linus likes to hunt for fuzzy toy mice
and bring them to his Dad.

We've separated out the cat themed items here and have
organized them into some different price categories. About 400 are
priced under 10
dollars (be patient for that page to download!). And around 500 are between
$10-$25. Magnets, notecards,
art prints and other goodies are available, too. Whimsical and funny, cute and
cuddly, realistic and photographic -- something for everyone! Great gifts for you
cat-loving friends and relatives.

Baby has visited before and she's quite the wild cat:
We've got a return visit from Sasha and Sweetpea. They are hanging out on
their sofa, a thankfully familiar piece of furniture after their move.
During the move, however, Sweetpea wasn't too sure about what was going on.
I'm curious but feel safer under here
Lady Jane, on the other hand, is quite relaxed.

Some cat facts...
- Change your cat's food only gradually by mixing the new food into the current food in small quantities at first. Abrupt changes can cause diarrhea.
- "Polydactyl" refers to the situation where a cat has more toes than normal on one or more feet. 5 toes are normal for the front feet; 4 toes are normal for the back feet.
- "Stumpy" refers to a Manx cat having a stump of a tail.
- "Genotype" is the onstitution of an animal as described by its genes rather than its appearance.
- A kitten will knead its mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow.
- Kittens are born with 26 milk teeth. Adults normally have 30 teeth.
- The Himalayn breed resulted from crossing Siamese and Persians.
- Many Siamese have crossed eyes. This happens because many Siamese have crossed optic nerve fibers. Kittens will show cross-eyed-ness at about 6 to 8 weeks.
