A new name for a fresh start? Here’s why changing your cat’s name may not be such a good idea. You’ve just adopted a new cat. It makes sense to give him/her a new name, right? Maybe you found a name you really like, or maybe you think he looks more like a Dennis instead of H.R. Fluff-N-Stuff. How do you go about changing your cat’s name so that they can adapt to the new one? The better question would be: should you change their name? Why I Didn’t Change…

Frisky Feline Feature: Meet Serena… And Her Unusual Nickname

Amber — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 19:34:49 +0000

Just wait until you read the story behind this darling’s weird moniker… it’s quite the “tail”! Think back to the most unusual nickname you were ever given. Go ahead. We’ll wait. We sincerely doubt that you can top Serena the cat’s nickname, however: Pubes. Needless to say, we were hesitant to make this feature for fear of offending delicate sensibilities, but after hearing the explanation for the nickname and learning about Serena, we just had to do it! We turned to Serena’s pet parent, Scott, to find out how Serena’s…

These sweet shelter cats were able to heal their mom’s broken heart with purrs, cuddles and love. This week’s Frisky Feline Feature is very close to our hearts. After losing our father to cancer, we depended on the love and comfort Misha and Tippy provided (fake scientific fact: head boops have healing powers). Because of Izzy and Bubs’ companionship, Margaret was able to find the comfort she so desperately needed in her time of sorrow. Thank you again, Margaret, for letting us feature Izzy and Bubs. They’re real sweethearts! How…

Black Cat Appreciation Day: Celebrating Mini-Panthers Everywhere

Amber — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 14:52:50 +0000

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! August 17th is Black Cat Appreciation Day. Today, we celebrate mini-panthers all over the world and the pet parents that care for them. Believe it or not, these adorable black-haired furballs are in danger, and it’s not from poachers out in the wild. It’s from people who may be your neighbor next door or just down the street. You see, some people consider black cats to be bad luck; this causes some to lash out and hurt (or *gulp* kill) black cats because of superstition.…
