The Daily Cat Tip
But she does it herself! Find out why you also need to pitch in and groom your cat
from The Cat Bible
Why do you need to groom an animal who spends a third of his or her waking hours doing that very thing? There are good reasons why your cat will benefit if you brush him or her regularly. Long-haired cats need the most help keeping their coats in tip-top condition, but even short-haired cats benefit from the strokes from your brush that stimulate the skin and help loosen the dead cells and hair.

Green and Mean!
Green and mean: House plants can be poisonous
from The Cat Bible
Cats love to dig in the earth in household potted plants - and much to your dismay you may find them using it as a litter box. But a more serious issue is that cats like to nibble on household plants, many of which are toxic to cats. The "Danger List" is so long (it's in "The Cat Bible," if you're curious) - and cats are naturally drawn to greenery - that the only way to be really safe is to make sure that you designate your potted plants as "off limits" to your cats.

Daily Cat Tip
TODAY´S TIP: HEALTH & WELLNESS
Allergens got you climbing the walls? Wipe down surfaces and walls weekly
from The Cat Bible
This might sound bizarre but it's true - you need to wash your walls if anybody in the family is allergic to cats. The airborne particles of dried saliva and dander that cats produce from self-grooming are sticky and can adhere to any surface. To clean your walls, use a damp disposable cleaning cloth - if you're opposed to using disposable materials from an environmental standpoint, then use a cloth you can rinse and wring out frequently during the cleaning process.

The information provided in the following articles just appalled me when I first learned of it. My thanks to Debbie for sending the initial article that started me on to discovering this information. Buckle your seat belt before you read them, you're in for another bumpy ride.
