The result . . . hilarious!

They were not usually considered as acceptable subjects for illustrations. That is until Louis Wain started to draw them. Not content with drawing cats realistically his feline creations had human traits. They walked on two legs, smoked, played the fiddle and often wore human clothing. Eventually Louis Wain's cats became a big hit with adults as well as with children. And then the cats began to change... <a href="http://www.best-cat-art.com/Louis-Wain.html"><b>Louis Wain - eccentric creator of cat art.</b></a> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:42:36 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-collectibles.html Which cat collectibles do cat lovers collect?

According to a news report there are some new laws regarding domestic cats that have just been, or are about to be brought into force in Tasmania (Australia.) It will be compulsorily for all owners of Tasmania's estimated 92,000 pet cats to have them microchiped and <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/spayed-or-neutered.html> neutered</a> if they are older than six months. That will certainly ease the stray and feral cat problem but should it be compulsorily? No kittens or cats will be able to be advertised or legally sold until they are at least eight weeks old and have been neutered and microchipped to individually identify each cat and its owner. The fine for selling an un-neutered cat will be as high as $6000, owners of cats without identification microchips implanted will face a $2400 penalty. Wow, they are not messing about. Here's what I absolutely do not agree with - New legislation proposes that any cat left unclaimed by its owners at a cat management facility such as a council pound, for more than five days can be euthanased without its owner's permission. Also local councils will be able to declare any area of land such as a council park, as a prohibited cat zone where any cat can be legally trapped, seized and humanely destroyed. Farmers will be able to destroy any cat caught on their property if it is found more than one kilometer from any nearby homes. I don't agree with that at all!

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:39:13 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-climbing-trees.html A cat that is permitted to roam outside has the chance to satisfy their climbing urges on fences and trees and the like. But what can an indoor only cat can do except to make use of your furniture, and in doing so leave a few scratch marks and maybe knock things down to the floor. Cat climbing trees give indoor only cats a place to satisfy their climbing urges without upsetting their humans. Of course many cats that can go outdoors also appreciate cat climbers, even though they have many places they can climb outside. Why? Well cats are cats.

Back in 2004 the island of Guernsey (one of the Channel Islands,) had fantastic success with its spay and neuter program. So successful that not only did the number of stray cats on the island fall drastically but the local shelters were even able to take a consignment of homeless cats from the UK. The news story made its way around the world and Guernsey's rescue shelters even had calls from the USA and from Russia asking if they could help. Seeing that is a truly commendable success, I thought I'd search for any up to date news to see if the island is still enjoying a low number of homeless and feral cats. Sadly, from the latest news that I could find (August 2008,) it seems the island once again has an over population of cats. Members of Animal Aid have been knocking on doors to offer owners who cannot afford to pay for the service, free neutering and spaying for each cat they own. Guernsey has such a big cat population problem that we just have to get to the root of it. said Animal Aid founder Sue Vidamour. She said there is a huge surplus in its cattery. What a terrible shame to go from the happy position of almost every cat on the island being a wanted and loved cat, to the unhappy position of having a surplus of cats. What went wrong I wonder? <i>Every year millions of unwanted cats are put to sleep.

Put butter on you cat's paws when you move home and your cat will not get lost. True, or old wives tale? Old wives tale of course :0) What's that, I can hear some of you shouting It's true, it's true. That is what my friend Elaine says. Elaine says that she always does that when she moves home and she has never lost a cat yet. Well that's good, but who is to say that she would have lost any of her cats if she had not put butter on their paws? If you <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/moving-with-your-cat.html> move with your cat </a> try and confine her to one room for awhile so she can get used to her new home. If your <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/outdoor-cat.html> cat is allowed outside,</a> it would be best to wait a few weeks before letting her out to explore. That way your cat is far less likely to wander off and get lost. Works better than smearing butter on her paws and you don't get buttery paw prints all over your new home. :0) Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:50:51 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/Catwatching.html A short review of Catwatching by Desmond Morris.

Sleep, eat, sleep some more, use the <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-litter-boxes.html> litter tray, </a>more sleep.

I confess to you my little friend, that sometimes I feel just a twinge of jealousy about your lifestyle. All that eating and sleeping with none of the cares of modern life that a mere human has to endure. But really, mostly it is not jealousy that I feel, it is gratitude that you are here for me. My little companion that greets me when I come home. You give so much and ask for so little in return. Thank you Mr Robin. You didn't hear a word of that did you.

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:29:38 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-art-blog-1.html#Is-Talcum-Powder-A-Danger-For-Your-Cat? Here is a danger to cats that I have been reading about. Along with all the other hazardous things around the house that should be kept securely away from cats such as, cleaning products, <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/plants-that-could-poison-your-cat.html> plants, </a>anti-freeze etc. you can add talcum powder as being a danger to your feline. Yes <i>innocent </i> (?) talcum powder apparently increases the chances of lung problems for cats if they inhale it. Now I don't know how many cats would inhale talcum powder without sneezing and running from it, or how frequently a cat would have to inhale before any problems are caused. The one source I obtained this information from is pretty adamant that cats and talc don't mix, but I can't find a lot of information elsewhere. I have read that industrial talc can contain traces of asbestos, but that should not be present in talcum for home use. So is talcum powder a hazard to your <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-health.html> cat's health ?</a> Perhaps it may be best to be on the safe side and keep it away from your pet. Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:45:26 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-greeting.html You have to be familiar with the special way that your feline gives you her cat greeting.

My Mr Robin always runs to a running faucet, he would never put his head under the water though, oh no. He bats at the stream with his paw and gets a few drops of water that way. Movement breaks the surface tension of water and draws in health giving oxygen. This is known as aeration and it makes water far more attractive for cats to drink than static water. A <a href=http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-water-fountain.html> cat water fountain </a> is a great way to offer your cat cool oxygenated water without your cat having to take a shower :0) Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:37:44 GMT http://www.best-cat-art.com/cat-lover-gift.html Selecting a cat lover gift online could not be easier.
