My human FINALLY took me for a walk after I had been begging for like days. (Vito's jealous because I got to go first!)
I saw so many cool bugs and even ate some plants! (Mommy wasn't to happy about that.)
I'm queen of the world!!!

   Many pets die of heatstroke in hot cars every summer. It is important to know what to do if you ever come across a situation like this. Here is an infographic from Petfinder to help you:

Shy, sweet girl:

"Alyssa is one of our shier girls who's not quite sure about people yet. The shelter is also a little overwhelming to her, so she tends to hide a lot. But when you get her out of her shell, she's the sweetest girl around! She also really enjoys wet food and treats!" ~Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue



Do you or anyone you know want to adopt her? If so, click here!

Purrs to Alyssa,

   I had a very interesting comment on my posting "Munching Monday: The Pastry Challenge" last week stating that cats do not need any grains in their diet because they are obligate carnivores.

The definition of an obligate carnivore is: "An animal that necessarily subsists on a diet consisting mainly of meat, because it does not possess the physiology to digest vegetable matter. Such animals may consume other materials (vegetable or mineral) for non-nutritional purposes." - Wiktionary

I completely agree about cats not needing grains in their diet. But, I do believe that it is okay for them to have some grains in their treats for "non-nutritional purposes." I look forward to hearing what you think! Please feel free to comment below.

Here are some fun facts I found when my human and I were playing Cat-opoly (by the way, I won the game):

  • "Cats have a natural homing ability which allows them to find their way back home, even from long distances."

  • "The average adult cat weighs 6-12 pounds. The heaviest cat on record is Himmy. He was 46 pounds, 15.25 ounces."

  • "Fish is not a natural food for cats. With the exception of one breed in India, cats will not hunt for fish."

  • "Puss, a tabby from Devon, England is one of the oldest domestic cats on record. He was 36 years old when he died in 1939."
