Santa Knows You Love Cats
By Lynne Powell
Just a few words for humans who are "card-carrying" cat people. You are doing your friends a major favor. Santa knows you love cats, and he knows what to get you!
Santa certainly has got my number. Cat sweatshirts, t-shirts, kitten calendars, one-cat-a-day calendars, mugs, jewelry, stationery, pictures and frames featuring cats, cat joke books and sentimental cat stories. All things feline! If you're known to be a cat lover, your friends and relatives have an easy time figuring out what you might like and on any and all occasions. Oddly enough, I'm not complaining. I've received almost all of these gifts and enjoyed every one. Okay, so maybe some of those people who get me cat gifts think I'm a little nuts on the subject. (Maybe?)
Part of being tuned in to cats is enjoying and learning from their spirit of not caring "what people think" about their desires. Do you
think that your cat spends one fraction of a second pondering anyone's opinion of his or her food, sleeping place, toys or behavior? They may be concerned about the amount, timing and quality of these things, but only as regards to their own needs and comfort. Cats just honestly react to whatever presents itself in the moment. That is a major lesson I have learned from cats. They may be anxious, even neurotic, but never about "what someone will think."
If you put up pictures of your cat or cats on your desk at work, the office Secret Santa will never be at a loss for what to give you. Your co-workers will thank you for sparing them hours of possibly frustrated shopping, thereby making happier holidays for everyone. Soon you will have an entire cupboard filled with kitty mugs!
Enjoy!

Introduction to Cat Breeds
By Andrew McGregor
Cats has been closely associated with humans for thousands of years. Today cats are the second most popular pet, with dogs being first. If you are away from your house for a extended period of time, either at work or at school cats are good pet for you.
Unlike other pets cats do not need much time, they only need to be given food and a little attention, for example dogs need to be walked on a regular basis and this can be very exhausting and time consuming. Cats can be a great pet for anyone because they are very adaptable and can live almost anywhere and would even live happily, healthy and comfortably in a small apartment. Cats are very affectionate, playful and loyal to people of all ages, to many people a cat makes the perfect pet.
Most domestic cats that people own are not pedigree cats, meaning that they are a mix of different breeds. Only 3 percent of domestic cats are purebred, there are no distinct advantages or disadvantages of buying a purebred cat and they can be very expensive. Different groups from around the globe have classified just over 100 different purebred cats.
The differences in breeds consist of the shape of the body, the size, length of coat, colour of coat, colour of eyes, personality and more. Today, there are two main categories that cats are grouped in, short hair and long hair. The most common out of the two being short hair cats.
Long hair cats are harder to care for because they need daily grooming, they are at a higher risk of having hairballs, it is much harder to get rid of fleas and when they cut or graze their skin it is harder to care for.
