Is this the best cat product on all of Amazon?

I happened to do some research on cat products, and found that this was the only cat product on Amazon with a perfect 5-star rating. And it’s a set of cute cat butt magnets (to put on your refrigerator or car or maybe your own butt if you happen to be a robot)!

Here are some REAL customer reviews:

Nine Years, Ten Cats

Today is the 9th anniversary of the day Panther came to live with us (nine is a special number for cats, the way ten is special for humans). Since he is First Cat, this is also the anniversary of the beginning of cats being part of our family. Dates before this are considered B.C. (Before Cats) and after this C.E. (Cat Era).

Panther is still sleek, beautiful, black, and very special, as befits a cat who was able to call out to me telepathically as I walked through the county shelter, probably just days before they would have taken him out of this world. That’s pretty special indeed, because as cat listeners go, I’m pretty much deaf.

Panther is by far our oldest cat but still manages to get a twinkle in his eye and chase Jennifur around the living room every two or three weeks :-)

Cat Called for Jury Duty in Boston

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Sal Esposito, a small gray and white tabby, was summoned to jury duty in East Boston after correctly being listed on a census form as a cat. The best part: after one of his humans requested disqualification based on his felinity, the jury commissioner refused. So at this juncture, we’ll be looking forward to seeing Sal in court on March 23.

Don’t Buy Expensive Cat Food: Consumer Reports

In their latest (March 2009) issue, Consumer Reports has a very readable article , including quotes from a Cornell University vet, about whether it’s worth spending lots of money on fancy cat food (for those who don’t like clicking on links, here’s the answer: no). Unless your cat(s) have specific health or age issues, any decent generic food should do if their little cat tummies tolerate it.

And since wet food is 75% water, it costs a lot more per ounce of real nutrition, so the same rationale goes here: unless they need wet food for a specific reason, dry will do fine. What with the recession and all, it makes sense to save money on regular purchases (like food) to serve as a cushion in case of unexpected medical bills, or whatever.

Of course, none of this means you shouldn’t buy cans of salmon or fancy treats for your dear cats. Just use them as treats, not everyday meals!

International Dusty Day

February 15 has been declared “International Dusty Day” to show compassion for cats and commemorate this amazing 24-hour period wherein a teenager posted a video on YouTube showing himself abusing and torturing a cat (Dusty) and the outraged public managed to track him down, resulting in his arrest and Dusty’s rescue.

We will not even mention this person’s name, because he is a minor and the information was not released officially, but Dusty already has his own support group on Facebook as well as a long line of people who want to adopt him. Meanwhile, there is an even longer line of people who want to perform some sort of physical intervention on the abuser.
