‘I had my pet cattooed’
Animal rights campaigners have reacted with fury after a vile pet owner decided to give his cat a tattoo matching his own.
In a disgusting stunt Timur Rimut, from Tatarsan, Russia, filmed himself permanently marking his hairless sphinx Coco with the phrase ‘Carpe Diem’, which is Latin for ‘seize the day’.
The 24-year-old artist has the same tattoo on his chest and drew the design on the poor animal in pen before sedating her and branding the cat for life.
But to add insult to injury, it appears he misspelled the famous phrase, scrawling ‘Carpe Deem’ on Coco’s chest instead.
‘We are shocked to see these images. As a charity that cares passionately about cats and seeks to inform the public about responsible pet ownership, we do not agree with people treating pets as fashion accessories in anyway,’ a spokesman for UK charity Cats Protection said.
‘Animals should be anaesthetised for veterinary reasons only, not cosmetic purposes. We hope that people will realise that it is unacceptable to treat animals in this manner.’
The video is so graphic MailOnline has decided not to publish it.
Rimut also has a tattoo of his cat, showing the new tattoo, on his own forearm.
The video has been posted on You Tube, and attracted a flurry of angry complaints.

Villagers rally round to shelter 20-year-old cat
Every decent pub has its regulars, but when it closes they’re often left with no-where to go.
Hilary the cat was one such case. She was left high and dry when her favourite haunt, the Lord Crewe Arms in Blanchland, Northumberland, shut up shop.
For more than two decades Hilary, who became something of a celebrity in the quaint medieval village, had lived in the garden and got fed tasty morsels by hotel staff.
But since the hotel and pub closed down three weeks ago, the poor cat hasn’t been getting her little treats from its kitchen.
So villagers stepped in and rallied round to help the 20-year-old feline and make sure her cosy home in the hotel’s boiler yard has stayed open. Neighbour Kath Lennon has even taken to delivering meals to her twice a day.
Ms Lennon said: ‘Hilary is one of the village’s best-known characters – to both residents and visitors.
‘Nobody’s sure how long she’s lived here but it’s definitely well over 20 years,’ she said.
‘People come around specially to say hello to her and visitors remember her.
‘She’s been a big part of the hotel and the village for so long that we simply couldn’t let her go hungry.
‘I was in the hotel bar on its last night before closure and asked what would happen to Hilary.
‘Everybody wanted to make sure she was alright and I volunteered to feed her.’
The owners of the 12th Century hotel, J&G Inns, went into administration two months ago and it closed at the end of January, with long-term refurbishment on the table.

Lookalike to Postman Pat’s cat Jess
CAT-LOVER Laura Hadley enjoys nothing more than seeing her beloved pets in the spotlight.
And her playful moggie Jynx loves it just as much after landing second place in a look-a-like competition.
The three-year-old was voted as one of five runners-up in the ‘Spot The Difference’ contest to find the feline who looks most like Postman Pat’s black and white cat Jess.
More than 50 cats were entered into the nationwide competition with Jynx receiving 159 votes in the online competition.
Owner Laura, of Cumberbatch Avenue, Fegg Hayes, decided to enter Jynx into the competition after spotting an advert in a national cat magazine.
The 28-year-old, who has nine other cats, said: “I thought Jynx resembled Jess because of his little pink nose, but a lot of people have told me he looks more like the Felix cat from the adverts.”
The competition was launched by the cat pain awareness campaign Spot The Signs, which aims to raise awareness of illnesses in cats.
Laura had Jynx from a rescue centre in North Wales when he was two years old and since then he has settled in well with the other cats.
But it has not been all plain sailing for Jynx as he was shot in the neck with an air gun at point-blank range in 2011.
He needed emergency surgery to remove the pellet and spent 10 days on antibiotics to help him recover.
Laura, who is currently unemployed, added: “He is fine now. He is mischievous, boisterous and bounds around all day.
“He has such a loveable soul and very gentle.”
Laura, who lives with her partner John Bright, aged 32, had her first pet when she was 17 years old.
She said: “I love cats, I love their different characteristics and their independence. All of my cats are very different in their own ways and I enjoy watching them play together.

He’s no scaredy-cat!
It looks like a good way for this cat to become a tasty snack.
But when the bold feline decided to take on an alligator in New Orleans, he came out remarkably intact.
He chose to take on the reptile at an wildlife park just as it was trying to eat some chicken, and began raining blows on its snout.
Tourists on a Cajun Pride Swamp Tour, looked on stunned as the moggy took offence to an alligator trying to eat some chicken.
YouTube Link
It begins with the cat firing off three right jabs before the gator steps back to flash its most menacing stare down ever.
After the tense face off, the gator moves forward, grabs a piece a chicken and wham! gets a right hook straight in the mouth.
As the ‘living fossil’ twists its head and picks up more meat, the cat unleashes three left hooks in quick succession.
The American alligator can weigh up to 800lbs and grow to 13 feet, but our fluffy fighter didn’t care for facts and figures – it simply didn’t like the ugly beast.
Sitting bolt upright, its ears went back and it started hissing.
The gator tried coming at the chicken from a different direction, the cat threw an overhand right, the dazed gator sheepishly retreated into the water and ding! ding! ding! the fight was over.
The cat may be the bravest or most stupid you’ve ever seen and a cynic may argue that the gator has been trained not to attack.
But who’s ever heard of a trained alligator?

Where’s the mouse?
Cat flaps have officially had their day. It’s the cat app that is the must-have feline gadget of today. A new iPad app has been developed by the RSPCA in Australia to keep techno-moggies entertained.
The ‘Affection Collection’ is made up of Kitty Raid, where cats have to defend cheese from invading mice, Roller Kitty, where cats can play with a roll of virtual yarn, and Kitty Chef, a game where cats can become chefs.
Designers said they wanted to promote enrichment for cats and highlight their intelligence. A points scoring system helps owners know how well their moggie is performing. The three games are never played twice in a row and move on automatically to keep the cats entertained for as long as possible.
It is hoped it could prove useful if cat owners are struggling to keep their pets indoors. It is also the ideal playmate for lonely moggies.
RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty said: ‘This is a unique concept that RSPCA hopes will really help put cats in the limelight this month, ‘Basically, you place your iPad on the ground, start the game and your cat or kitten can interact with it on his/her own terms.
‘There are automatic features including reset and shuffle, making it easy for cats to navigate this game on their own, and keep them interested’.
It’s not the first time cats have been allowed to play with iPads. Footage on You Tube shows moggies from all over the globe playing cat and mouse games with their owners. The cats seem just as fascinated with the glow of the screen and the repetitive play as everyone else.

Bad Cat, Good Cat
Book Review
The book was very good. It’s about a girl and a boy who love cats but aren’t allowed one of their own. However they both get them for their birthdays the girl gets a girl cat and the boy gets a boy cat. They both fall in love with their own cats and each other’s cats. Their parents book a holiday and they aren’t allowed to keep animals there because the owners are allergic to them.

But they go missing and the owners leave without them. When the cats find their way home there is no food waiting for them and the catflaps are locked. How will they survive now…
It’s perfect for cat-lovers and people who like a mixture of happy and sad stories.

‘Breading’ – Dressing up cats with ‘bread’ next web trend!
Are you over planking? Bored of owling? Tired of Tebowing?
A Facebook group dedicated to dressing cats in bread, and promoted by blogs across the internet, is attempting to create a new internet trend.
‘Breading’ could be taking off because it combines apparently random behaviour with the web’s favourite animal. The Facebook page – entitled ‘Putting bread on your cat, so that people think you have a walking sandwich’ – has more than 10,000 fans.
It encourages its followers to post their own pictures of the wacky activity, and suggests that they might like to try using tiger bread to do it. But while there is no doubting the authenticity of the photos uploaded by enthusiastic cat-owners, the breading craze may not be quite as much of a grassroots movement as it seems.
The craze got a big boost from blog site Gawker, which claimed yesterday morning that ‘all the cool kids’ had started breading – and just an hour later boasted: ‘Now people can’t stop talking about breading!’ By the evening, another post appeared which claimed that breading had already ‘jumped the shark’ and lost its cool exclusivity.
The whole thing seemed like an elaborate inside joke, spoofing the nature of short-lived crazes which are more likely to be talked about than actually participated in. Nonetheless, plenty of internet users seem happy to use their cats as tools for their own amusement, and perhaps breading really will catch on in the long term.
If you want to do it yourself, you need only two ingredients: bread and cat. Soft bread is recommended, both for your own convenience and for the cat’s comfort. Punch out a head-shaped hole in the middle of the bread, and insert your cat’s head therein.
And be sure to take a picture, to capture that special moment for posterity.

Curiosity did not kill the cat but it did cause a four-hour flight delay
They say curiosity killed the cat. Fortunately for this naughty feline – who seemed desperate to check out first class – he managed to escape with his life, but caused a four-hour flight delay for dozens of passengers.
Ripples the tabby cat escaped from his carrier while on an Air Canada flight from Halifax to Toronto as some passengers were still boarding. Flight 603 was scheduled to depart at 5.30am but passengers had to get off the flight after the cat ran into first class and into the cockpit before squeezing himself inside some panels at their feet.
It was when the ten-year-old cat was going through security and was put back in its carrier that the oversight is said to have been made. Ripples’ owner, Debbie Harris, failed to realize that one of the latches on the carrier was not properly done until it was too late.
When it first escaped into first class, several passengers tried in vain to catch him before the cat ran into the cockpit and under the pilot’s feet into the tiny compartment. Passengers had to leave the plane while maintenance workers came on scene to remove panels, and dissemble part of the cockpit before the cat was retrieved, unharmed.
Halifax Stanfield International Airport spokesman Peter Spurway said: ‘(The crew) checked all the wiring where the cat had been to make sure there was no damage and connected properly.

A cat has been reunited with its owner in time for Christmas
A cat has been reunited with its owner in time for Christmas after going missing from West Sussex in April. It is thought Banjo climbed into a caravan bound for Wales and travelled 250 miles from her Pulborough home.
Owner Paul Martin said he had given up hope of finding her – but then someone replied to his missing cat advert months after he posted it online. The RSPCA helped to reunite the pair. Mr Martin said it was a “really lovely Christmas present”.
He said: “After a few weeks of looking for her every night, I just thought she’d gone.After about five or six minutes, suddenly she jumped all over me. There was some kind of incident with some anti-freeze poisoning locally and I thought that might have been what got her in the end.”
But he said a woman in Ceredigion had seen Banjo living in a field during the summer and eventually took her in. She later saw the advert that Mr Martin had posted after Banjo first went missing, and contacted him.
Mr Martin sought help from the RSPCA to bring fluffy ginger and white Banjo back home.
When Banjo returned, she was a bit stiff after living rough for months, he said.
But he added: “After about five or six minutes, suddenly she jumped all over me and within 10 to 15 minutes, she was almost back to her old mischief and sitting where she usually sat.”

Orange-and-white tabby Daniel is no typical cat!
However, this orange-and-white tabby named Daniel is no typical cat. He has a 26 toes – a phenomenon that is helping the non-profit Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center raise money to relocate to a new building.
Normal cats have 18 toes, but Daniel has two extra on each foot due to a genetic mutation called polydactylism.
Officials at the centre found out their rent at a Milwaukee-area mall was being doubled on Jan 1. So, the shelter is buying a new building and is seeking small donations of $26 – or $1 per toe.
They’ve collected enough so far to secure the financing with about $80,000 raised since Oct. 24, but they hope to raise $120,000 by Dec. 23 so they can become even more financially stable. About $50,000 of the money raised has come from $26 donations.
“I’ve always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and this is definitely the case,” said Amy Rowell, owner of Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center.
She found Daniel in October at animal control when she went to pick up another cat. As she bent down to that cat’s cage, Daniel stuck his paw out and poked her head.
“He was very clearly saying, ‘I need to be rescued, I’d like to be your friend, please pay attention to me,’” she said. “And when a sign is that obvious, we tend to not ignore it.”
The shelter takes in animals that might otherwise be euthanised.
Daniel was originally going to be adopted out, but Rowell has decided to keep him as a shelter mascot.
Daniel’s 26 toes – two shy of the Guinness World Records number- don’t seem to affect his cat activities.
“He runs and he plays and he climbs, he uses a scratching post. He seems to be not bothered by it at all,” Rowell said.

Cat discovers baby’s snooze button after stroking him to sleep
YouTube Video
God bless YouTube user aarongrant1 and his baby. Oh, and his baby-calming cat.
As you might have guessed, aarongrant1′s actual name is Aaron Grant, but as you probably might not have guessed, his baby’s name is Connor and his cat’s name is Stewie. So there you go.
We introduce you to Aaron, Connor and Stewie after a video Aaron uploaded to YouTube back in September called ”Cat soothing crying baby to sleep” has gone viral recently.
Showing Stewie affectionately pawing at Connor’s head, it’s proof that cat-kind and kid-kind can work together in loving harmony – and, if you need to calm a crying infant, call on Stewie, because he’s got the magic touch.
Looking up to the camera with a “And that’s how it’s done” face, Stewie reminds us of that other magical black cat, Salem Saberhagen, from ’90s kids’ sitcom, Sabrina The Teenage Witch. What do you mean, you don’t remember Salem? Shame on you. Top cat, that cat.

Dodger the cat is living the purrrfect life!
The ginger moggy does not paws to buy a ticket when he wants to travel on buses around West Dorset as he’s a fur dodger.
The cunning cat has become well known at Bridport bus station, where he prowls around all day waiting for opportunities.
He has been seen hopping on and off buses, sitting on passengers’ laps as they wait, and devouring discarded sandwiches.
Dodger’s latest escapade saw him taking a trip to Charmouth and back, and he is believed to have taken excursions along the Jurassic Coast on the X53.
But the 15-year-old cat, named after The Artful Dodger from the Charles Dickens’s novel Oliver Twist novel is not a stray – he goes back to his home in Bridport every night to get fed.
Owner Fee Jeanes, of West Street, said: “Our house is on the main road but we back onto the bus station.
“We moved here 19 months ago and where we lived before he wouldn’t go anywhere, but now he goes off down the bus station every day.
“He loves it there because there are lots of people around and they all drop their sandwiches and pork pies.
“The drivers buy cat food for him and he sits on people’s laps.
“Sometimes he just sits in the middle of the road and waits for the bus to turn up.

Celebrating cats at Christmas
Cats are one of the UK’s favourite pets with a population of eight million, almost twice the number it was 30 years ago.
A cat’s Christmas carol will be a celebration and festive look at cats, aspects of their behaviour and the role that they play in people’s lives. The talk, organised by the Small Animal Practice at Langford Veterinary Services, will take place on Tuesday 13 December at 7.30 pm at the University of Bristol’s School of Veterinary Sciences, Langford.
The talk will explore some of the odd behaviours displayed by cats, such as:
- why cats hunt even when their food bowls are always full;
- why do cats ‘call’;
- why do some cats lick and then bite their owners;
- why are cats not neighbourly and positively hate the new cat next door.
Dr Alison Blaxter, a vet in the Small Animal Practice, who will be giving the talk, said: “Cats are one of the UK’s favourite pets – they give us great joy and companionship yet much of what they do remains a mystery to us! Trying to work out why they behave as they do in our homes is a fascinating and fulfilling occupation for a winter’s evening.”
The talk is free but entry is by ticket only. To request a ticket, contact the Langford Veterinary Services Small Animal Practice on tel 01934 852422.
Refreshments will be available and all proceeds will be donated to the Langford Trust, a charity that supports the University’s School of Veterinary Science to promote the practice, advancement and teaching of veterinary science.

CHRIS the cat has to be one of the most pampered pets in the country.
For his Loscoe owner Dawn Ratcliffe thinks nothing is too much trouble for the 15-year-old cat.
Chris is allowed to eat at dinner table with the rest of the family and even gets to eat treats and snacks.

Simon’s Cat’s Christmas
Simon’s Cat cartoons have been watched by more than 200 million people on YouTube.
They are usually accompanied by a caption that says something along the lines of: ‘A demanding cat goes to great lengths in order to become the centre of attention.’
But for his latest, Christmas-themed capers, Simon’s Cat is actually trying to avoid being detected.
A new cartoon, released exclusively to MailOnline ahead of its general release tomorrow, shows the cat trying to sneak through a window to deprive his owner of his Christmas dinner.
The video opens with a cat peering in through a window, looking at a table set with Christmas crackers and decorations.
When his owner ‘Simon’ walks into the room with a huge turkey, though, the cat begins to get more agitated.
He desperately tries to squeeze through a gap under the window. And when he finally manages to get in, promptly replaces the turkey with his own Christmas dinner – a boring can of cat food.
Simon’s Cat’s most popular video sees him trying any technique he can to wake up his owner. It has been watched more than 23 million times.
The latest cartoon clip, Catnap, received a million views in just two days, and is currently ranked in first place on the Pets & Animals list.
The videos are just one side of the cat’s comedy ways, though.

Big cat sounds
If you like housecats, you probably love BIG cats! And if that’s the case, then you will love this caturday morning video smile that captures the various sounds made by big cats!
YouTube Video
“Big cat” is not a precise biological term, it is just a verbal shorthand for distinguishing the larger members of the taxonomic family Felidae from smaller ones. Some people formally define “big cats” as the fourPanthera species: the tiger, lion, jaguar, and leopard. But other people also include cheetah, snow leopard, clouded leopard, and cougar under the “big cat” umbrella.
Big cats make interesting sounds. For example, only Panthera can roar. For this reason, they are often collectively known as “the roaring cats”. Roaring requires special morphology of the larynx and hyoid apparatus in the animal’s throat. Interestingly, despite having hyoid morphology similar to roaring cats, snow leopards cannot roar.

Musical cats strike a chord in 2012 calendar
These tow-tapping felines look like they are getting into the party spirit in a calendar that will make the purr-fect Christmas present for any cat lover.
Musical Moggs shows several cats getting into their groove as they turn their paws to playing a selection of different instruments.
In one picture, a pair of cool cats appear to be having a musical jam as they rock it out together on electric guitars.
Another picture shows them turn to brass as they pump out a tune on a trombone and tuba. A clarinet-playing cat pelts out a tune while his companion holds up the music for it to read, while in another photograph an accordion player appears to be lost in the music as it plays a piece pressing its paws on the keyboard while squeezing the box.
Another picture shows a ginger tom playing a saxophone while standing beside a neon sign for a jazz club. Steve Bicknell, from Maverick Arts, which produced the calendar, used a friend’s cats to pose for the pictures, manipulated them on a computer to give the illusion that they are really playing instruments.

Rescuers spend 12 hours trying to save a Toy!
When villagers searching for a missing cat heard frantic miaowing from a recycling bin, they thought the runaway had been found.
But their efforts to free the cat, which was due to give birth any moment, became increasingly desperate as the lock on the clothing bin was broken and couldn’t be opened.
After the fire brigade and RSPCA’s attempts also failed, the worried villagers had it loaded on to a truck and driven to a specialist engineering firm 20 miles away.
There, steel saws were used to gain access and the mewing prisoner was revealed – as nothing more than a squeaky toy.
Kelvin Owen, who owns the engineering firm, said: ‘Once we got into the bin we heard the miaowing – it sounded just like a cat and we all started to carefully search the bags.
‘Then I found a bag of toys and picked out a toy. I said: “It couldn’t be this, could it?” As I held it it went “miaow, miaow”. Mystery solved!’

What a cat-hat-strophe!
These moggies were left feeling a little furtive after their eccentric owner got them to model her bizarre range of cat hats.
The barmy bonnets were designed by businesswoman Carolyn Cooling of Houston, Texas, for her business Pampered Whiskers.
Carolyn, who insists that wearing hats is ‘natural’ for cats, recruited the help of Dodger the tabby and Hoot the longhair as models, but they didn’t seem too impressed with the results.
Carolyn explains: ‘I saw a cowboy hat for pets in a store one day and thought it was overly priced, so I decided to make quality hats at a better price.
‘I couldn’t have done it without my cats. I’ve always designed things that I know would suit them and I always get them to model the products for the website.’
Carolyn says the hat company is going from strength to strength as she’s received positive feedback from the market place.

Puss in Boots renamed Cat in Boots in the UAE
Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots will be renamed “Cat in Boots” in the United Arab Emirates. The P-word was pulled from the title amid fears that a “Puss” could cause offence.
Meanwhile, star Antonio Banderas, who voices the titular feline, was apparently asked not to refer to the original title or his character’s name during promotional duties at the recent Doha Tribeca film festival.
Puss in Boots, which premiered in the UK last night, topped the US chart on its release earlier this month and has creamed $178m from the global box office to date. The film sees Puss – a Zorro-esque swashbuckler with a thirst for milk and adventure – team up with Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) and Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) in an attempt to steal golden-goose eggs from a giant’s castle.
The events of the film pre-date Puss’s debut in DreamWorksAnimation’s fairytale franchise. He first appeared as an unlikely ally to lovable ogre Shrek in 2004′s Shrek 2.

The Purr-fect present
He’s proven to be the purr-fect local celebrity – so much so he’s to feature in his own merchandise.
Next year, the usual pin-ups may well have fallen to the wayside with plans for Pixie – better known as Asda cat – to feature in his very own calendar.
The ginger moggy, whose favourite past time is lazing in shopping baskets, has been a familiar sight at Asda’s store at The Jewel for nearly a year where he can often be seen lounging in the foyer or car park.
Facebook fan pages set up in his honour have attracted a total of 2800 members.
The man behind the calendar, Andrew Mackie, 55, from Craigmillar, said: “I had some software on my computer where you can make greetings cards and calendars.
“I put a couple of pictures of Pixie on a calendar and posted an image of it on Facebook.
“Another member of the group suggested I put calendars up for sale and donate the profits to the cat and dog home.”
The calendar features Pixie, who has been known to jump inside shoppers’ cars, in a variety of poses and even has his birthday marked.
Andy, who became a fan after spotting Pixie in the store and overhearing shoppers discussing his Facebook page, has been taking some fresh pictures of the puss.

Taylor Swift introduces her new feline friend
Taylor Swift has found a new best friend!
The 21-year-old country singer recently tweeted a photograph of her adorable adopted kitten.
‘Hanging out with my new roommate, Meredith’, she wrote on her Twitter page late last week.
Her new pet is a rare breed of kitten known as the Scottish Fold, which is known for a gene mutation that makes its ear cartilage contain a fold.
The cats are usually quite expensive; the demand for said animals usually exceeds the supply of those available.
According to PlusPets.com, breeders can charge as much as $1,000 for healthy, vaccinated Scottish Fold kittens.
The website adds that the cats are in such demand that prospective owners are put on waiting lists or entered in lotteries in order to obtain one.
Meredith, it would seem, already has one very famous admirer.
‘OH MY GOSH. Is this kitty for real!?!?’ pop star Katy Perry wrote on the country starlet’s page after viewing the photo Taylor had posted.
‘Yes!’ Taylor responded cheerfully, adding, ‘And currently chasing her own tail. PS I miss you!’

How did he get up there? The cat who got stuck up a cactus
He’s found himself in a rather prickly situation – but at least he didn’t get eaten.
This terrified bobcat was spotted teetering on top of a 50ft cactus after running for its life from a hungry lion. He stayed there for SIX hours, just to make sure the lion had gone, and incredibly escaped without a scratch.
The mountain lion that was stalking him however just circled the base, stared upwards and growled for a few minutes before giving up and walking off.
The drama unfolded on the Giant Saguaro Cactus in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert.
It is an enormous plant with two-inch spikes and is thought to be up to 300-years-old. Photographer Curt Fonger, 69, captured what happened on film. He said: ‘A friend called me at 7am saying one of his workers had seen a bobcat being chased by a mountain lion.
‘It ran across the road in front of his car and climbed up a large saguaro cactus at the roadside, with the lion hot on its tail. ‘The lion didn’t pursue the bobcat up the cactus but circled the base.
‘It looked up at the bobcat, growled several times, then turned around and trotted back up from where it had come.
‘The mountain lion probably had cubs, the bobcat had intruded on its territory and she gave chase to warn the bobcat not to come close to her young family.

Cats can lower stress and help owners live longer
MAKE way, mutts. Cats are keeping their owners alive.
A decade-long study shows cats can actually lower a human’s risk of heart attack by a third.
The many health benefits of animal ownership are universally well documented, being first recognised by Australian researchers at the Baker Medical Research Institute in Melbourne.
But the latest research from the US has found a distinct link between cat ownership and a lower risk of death from heart attack.
Are you a dog or a cat person? Tell us what you think of the research below
It is believed the act of stroking a cat reduces stress and lowers the heart rate and blood pressure.
Around one in four Australian homes has a cat.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Stroke Institute have found a strong link between cat ownership and heart health.
Susie Willis from the Petcare Information and Advisory Service said pet ownership, in general, has been shown to have important physical and emotional benefits, including lower levels of risk factors for cardiovascular disease than non-pet owners.

Cat lovers hope to heal the pain
Animal lovers in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province, have set up a facility for homeless cats that have developed psychological problems as a result of their vagrant lives.
“Stray cats have their own psychological problems, and we hope to help them in order to restore their trust in humans,” He Yue, a cat lover in Xi’an, said. The 25-year-old woman founded a bar a month ago to help stray cats that have been injured or have psychological problems. It’s also a place where local cat lovers can share their experience in helping stray cats.
“Some disabled stray cats were injured in accidents and some were injured by people who mistreated them. Cats are very sensitive animals and will learn to distrust people if someone has hurt or scared them,” she said. She is an employee of a local company who cares for stray cats in her spare time. In the process, she’s gotten to know many cat lovers who also help the city’s feral felines.
“During our talks about helping cats, we realized that these animals have their own psychological problems that have been overlooked. We decided to set up a place to cure the cats,” she said. The space for the cat therapy bar was provided by one of her friends. She keeps 15 stray cats there for treatment, and local cat lovers go there after work to help with the animals and share their cat-keeping experiences.
“Cats are special, displaying curiosity, jealousy, self-esteem and loneliness,” she said. “Any mistreatment will cause them to have psychological problems. Our therapy is to treat them properly with respect and love,” she said.
According to Gao Xiufen, another cat lover at the bar, it’s not just stray cats who have psychological problems. The cat she keeps at home also experiences mental distress.
“My cat wasn’t eating properly and was making a lot of noise, so I took it to a pet hospital. The tests showed that it was normal. The doctors told me that it might have psychological problems, as I took care of some stray cats in my residential community. It smelled other cats’ scents on my body and felt sad,” Gao said.

Crisis of the credit crunch cats
PUTTING out the rubbish late at night at her Nottingham home the middle-aged woman was startled by a large carrier bag which appeared to be moving in a nearby skip.
Calling her husband the pair gingerly opened the bag to discover five tiny kittens huddled together, they were so
young that their faint meowing could barely be heard.
“We were shocked,” says Carole Watson. “I’m not a great cat lover but I have to admit this was such a sorry sight that I defy anyone not to be moved by the plight of these animals.
“If the skip had been collected I doubt anyone would have noticed the bag in which they had clearly been dumped and they probably would have been crushed by more rubbish piled on top of them.”
In these hard times of recession the number of pets being abandoned is a most unwanted crisis but it is ( usually unneutered) cats that are being abandoned or simply not being cared for and this has resulted in an explosion of litters and a huge feral population of cats all over Britain.
George Rockingham, administrator of the PACT Animal Sanctuary in Hingham, Norfolk, says that for every one kitten that the sanctuary re- homes, another 20 will come in.
“The situation is appalling,” he says. “Rescue centres everywhere are feeling the strain both physically in terms of space and overstretched staff but also of course financially.

Kitten ‘crisis’ at the local RSPCA branch
THE RSPCA says it is experiencing a ‘kitten crisis’ after an array of pregnant cats have been callously ‘dumped’ by their owners.
RSPCA Lincolnshire East Branch, which covers the Boston area, has more than 20 kittens waiting to find new owners and staff are unable to take in any more abandoned cats until they find new homes for those now in their care.
The RSPCA says the high number of kittens is the result of pregnant cats ‘being dumped by their owners’, days before they give birth.
However, some kittens, which were only a few days old, were abandoned with their mothers.
Rehoming co-ordinator Cherrie Bartlett said: “To have this amount of kittens at this time of year is staggering and very worrying.
“It is absolutely heart-breaking these poor cats, especially mums-to-be, have just been dumped and left to fend for themselves.
“Many people would think that kittens would find new homes really easily, but this year has been tough and we just are not getting the people coming forward to rehome them.
“The sad fact is that the number of people coming forward to adopt a cat or kitten has become fewer and fewer, yet the number of people who choose to abandon them, seems to be more.”

Loudest cat’s tale just purrfect
THE tale of Smokey the cat’s road to success has been told in a picture book to be published this month.
Smokey has “penned” the story, with the help of owner Ruth Adams, of how she became the loudest purring cat in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Smokey The Very Loud Purring Cat, published by DB Publishing, will be on the shelves by the end of the week in Waterstones and other book shops.
Ruth Adams, who welcomed Smokey in to her home in Pitsford after picking her up from a rescue home, discovered her pet’s talent for purring while supporting Cats Protection.
She hit the headlines earlier this year after hitting 67.7 decibels with her purr.

Our love of spoiling cats has caused animal obesity epidemic
They are overindulged, overfed and definitely overweight.
Britain may be a nation of pet lovers, but the habit of giving unhealthy treats and titbits to family pets has caused an animal obesity epidemic.
A health report on the nation’s pets has revealed 12 million of them are being fed too many fatty treats, including takeaways, cheese, crisps and cakes, often on a daily basis.
They included Bailey the Border Collie, who was regularly fed biscuits and became 60 per cent overweight, and Deco the Golden Labrador, the canine ‘vacuum cleaner’ who ballooned to 8st 6lbs.
Lucky the Labrador lost 2st 2lbs after going on a ‘weight-loss journey’ alongside owner Alyson King, Tigger the cat lost an equally impressive 4lbs, while Badger the black and white cat lost 2lbs.
The study, by the veterinary charity PDSA, also showed that owners were unaware of the damage they were doing. Around half of owners thought treats made their pets happy and only 2 per cent felt guilty when giving their dog or cat a high-calorie snack.

Antonio Banderas meets feline film fans at Puss in Boots premiere
TINSELTOWN’S top tomcats and tabbies prowled the red carpet for a purrfect premiere screening of Puss in Boots.
The moviegoing moggies occasionally stopped to claw the carpet or chase something sparkly before sitting down to watch the film on Sunday night.
Headlining the event was Antonio Banderas, who has supplied the voice of the legendary hero since Puss’s first onscreen appearance in Shrek 2, in 2004.
Footage from the occasion is embedded below and is also in our video channel on the right-hand side of the page.
The felines-only premiere on the lot of Paramount Pictures brought the crème de la crème of industry kitties – apparently including such breed standards as Cat Blanchett, Don Cheetah, Leonardo di Catrio, Zach Galifurnakis, the Real Housecats of Beverly Hills, Robert Meowny Jr, Kitty Purry and Justin Timberlynx.

Missing cat is found under car’s bonnet
WHEN Winnie the wandering cat stayed away from home for three days, her loving owners were frantic with worry.
They searched for the two-year-old tabby and asked neighbours where she might be, all to no avail.
But then, animal lover Curtis Brown, aged 10, solved the mystery.
He found the stricken animal under the bonnet of a car.
After Curtis’s shocked dad Tony worked his magic with his trusty craft knife, Winnie was free, much to the relief of her caring owners.
“Of all the places! We’ve heard of cats going under cars but to go in the bodywork is quite strange,” said Mr Brown, aged 50, of Bowen Street, Bolton. The aircraft constructor added: “We got Winnie two years ago. She’s adventurous but she always comes home for her food.
“She went missing on Saturday and we were quite worried by Tuesday. We looked everywhere for her.”
Curtis was out playing football with friends near the A1 Chinese Takeaway on Chorley Old Road when he heard a familiar ‘meow’ sound.

Cat helped a woman in cancer fight
If not for a beloved pet, a Richland woman might not have discovered until it was too late that her breast cancer had spread.
In March 2001, Joyce Fitzgerald was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer in her left breast. She discovered it during a self-exam the same day her husband, Dennis, finished chemotherapy treatments for cancer.
The day before her first chemotherapy treatment, her cat Stretchie jumped up on her. She ignored the cat, so he did it again, this time landing hard on her right breast and causing her some pain. When she began to rub the spot where it hurt, she felt a lump — in the same place where doctors in Seattle had examined her and found nothing just a week prior.
The next day, she went to her doctor at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center, where a tiny, malignant tumor was discovered.
Since her odds for survival were the same regardless, Fitzgerald passed on having a mastectomy and opted for lumpectomies and heavy chemotherapy.
She went through eight months of chemotherapy and radiation, with the latter causing third-degree burns on parts of her body.
She spent another 10 months recovering from the difficult treatments. Throughout it all, Stretchie was there to comfort her.
“Stretchie would lie next to me,” she said. “He would put his big paw on my chest, always managing to find a spot that didn’t hurt. He would lie there all day and night.”

‘Doglike’ three-year-old Abyssinian
Jafari Jamison Underfoot, or JJ for short, loves to jog the Stanley Park trails, wade into the waves of English Bay and has learned to sit on command. JJ happens to be a cat, but not just any cat.
This nearly three-year-old feline is an Abyssinian, which owner Christopher Weeks explained is a breed with many “doglike” qualities.
Weeks and his partner Rick Bellairs have taught JJ to sit, walk or jog alongside them without pulling on his leash and to politely wait instead of lunging for his food. JJ is also willing to be carried about in a snuggly.a
“Cats can get a bad rap. We almost feel like cat ambassadors. It shows people you can do a lot with your cat than just have a furry lump that does nothing,” said Weeks, who grew up with both dogs and cats but considers himself a cat person.
“I have to side with the cats. I like the personal interaction you get with a cat and while I know you can have that with a dog, there’s something about the gentleness and trust of a cat,” he said, adding he realizes some people reading this might think, “Oh boy, another crazy cat person.”
But Weeks is unapologetic as he gushes about JJ, who he describes as the “most diplomatic, polite cat I’ve ever met.”

Kitten uses up eight of its nine lives
A two-week-old kitten has survived a five-day, 166-mile trip trapped in a skip full of cardboard.
The tiny ginger tom, who has been named Finley, was found among tons of old cardboard at a recycling firm in Reddish.
Finley survived being buried under the cardboard for up to five days in a sealed container as it was shipped across the Irish Sea from Dublin. He was found by Elsa Recycling worker John Creek as he was removing the material – which is destined for China.
Sadly a second kitten also in the container had died during the journey.
John christened the cat Finley because of its Irish connections.
He said: “I was using a forklift when I saw something moving. When I looked inside there were two kittens – one was dead but the other one was this ball of ginger fur. It was barely alive. It’s absolutely amazing it survived the journey from Dublin to Stockport.”
Finley is now being nursed back to health by the RSPCA.

‘Flossie’ the cat returns home!
Flossie is a seven-year-old silver-grey tabby cat living near a marina on the River Thames, so is quite used to water. In fact, she has been going on holiday on a narrow boat with us and our border collie from the age of five weeks. She absolutely loves it and is on the boat like a flash the minute the doors are open. She sleeps while the boat is on the move and when it stops for the day, she is off exploring.
Five days into this year’s three-week trip, we moored for the night at Coxes Lock, Wey. Flossie dined and then trotted off into the dusk. She did not return despite our dinner-dish rattling and calling until the early hours. We finally went to bed, fully expecting to see our cat the next day, but this did not happen. We stayed for five days searching every inch of land and water and putting up posters, with no success. Nobody had seen her. We finally made the decision to start for home. It was a very sad return.
Two weeks and a day after she had gone missing, we received a phone call from a couple who had spotted her out on Chertsey Meads. It looked like a false alarm. Chertsey Meads is about three miles by road and a mile and a half across fields from where the cat was lost, so nobody was convinced that this was a hopeful sighting.

Cat crazy! I’ve got that lovin’ feline
After the Tories went to war over little Maya, novelist Philippa Stockley celebrates the nation’s love affair with the most imperious of pets!
Cats are never long out of the news: currently we have Maya, whose right to a family life caused the fur to fly at the Tory party conference, and Beauty, the kitten stolen from her love rival by MP’s wife Christine Hemming. And let’s not forget Guinness world-record-holder Smokey, whose purr is as loud as a lawnmower.
Cute! But not to everyone. There are people who, if their partner was out might, purely in the interests of science, let Smokey play with the strimmer, then see what noise it made. In a world with an estimated 500 million cats, almost 11 million in the UK, there is no doubting our fondness for what Linnaeus named Felis Catus, the domestic cat. Yet in south China the cat-meat and fur trade puts paid to thousands of them. Here, the Cats Protection League, which handles around 6,000 unwanted cats at any one time – some found in garbage chutes or taped into cardboard boxes and left to die – says that adoptions were down this summer, due to the downturn.
As writer Jeff Valdez said: “Cats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.” Not only that, but cat households apparently boast a higher percentage of degrees. In the binary world of the human psyche, in which transference is all (big car, large –), there are cat-lovers and dog-lovers. We get round the probable myth that more cat-owners are women by saying that women with more than two cats are mad.
But not all cats are smart. You get the cat you deserve. I knew a girl who got a sweet rescue cat, let’s call it Mittens. In the middle of the night, she was woken by a terrifying metallic banging noise, went down to the kitchen, and found Mittens trying to remove a kitchen stool that had got fixed to its magnetic collar, by bashing its head against the fridge.

Cat with the loudest purr in the world will purr-form for city pet lovers!
A pet cat called Smokey is claimed to have the loudest purr in the world, which emits a noise as loud as a lawnmower. Most cats purr at around 25 decibels but Smokey’s averages 80 decibels.
Owners Ruth and Mark Adams say Smokey’s deafening purrs make it impossible for them to hear the television or radio when she is in the room and they struggle to have telephone conversations. The 12-year-old Guinness World Record holder can be seen and heard at the 2011 LovePets Show at the East of England Showground.
Smokey, a talkative tabby who could drown out most dogs with her deafening purr, will take centre stage at the 2011 LovePets Show at the East of England Showground, in Oundle Road, Alwalton in October.
Smokey’s owners, the Adams family from a farm in Northamptonshire, love her tremendous tones which are said to overshadow lawnmowers and diesel engines. Ruth Adams said: “Smokey is a lovely cat and a big personality. She’s a bit of a diva and craves attention, so she should be in her element at the LovePets Show.”
Smokey’s purr is available as a mobile phone ring tone and fans can read her life-story in Smokey: The Very Loud Purring Cat published by DB Publishing. You can watch Smokey on YouTube here….

Joe & Jill’s now available in Asda!
The Joe & Jill’s team are delighted to launch the new look Joe & Jill’s Cat food in ASDA Stores. Our brand has set an industry standard by recognizing the growing demand for natural, healthy and delicious food for our animal companions.
In a market that is increasingly concerned about food additives, we strongly believe in chemical-free cat food, using the very best natural ingredients. The newly launched recipes include Finest Salmon & Rice and Delicious Chicken & Rice.
Top TV Vet and Joe & Jill’s Manager, Joe Inglis said, “We understand how important a good diet is for cats’ long term health and wellbeing, which is why we have created a range of unique recipes using only the very best natural ingredients”.
“What makes these recipes really different is that we use only top quality British ingredients including fresh Scottish salmon, chicken and duck, all of which comes from the human food chain. We know that cats can be fussy about the food they eat, which is why we have come up with the delicious new recipes with the finest salmon and chicken from the UK”.
Joe & Jill’s costs just a fraction of the cost of feeding pouches or tins. Linda Jones’ young cat finds our food absolutely delicious. Linda said, “My young cat has a sensitive tummy. None of the usual foods available in the supermarket worked. I heard about Joe & Jill’s and ordered both the cat food flavours online. No more tummy problems, rather he always wants more”.
The hypo-allergenic range is now available in all Asda stores across the UK.
