The winners of Catster and Dogster’s Video Contest have been announced, and it is a bittersweet announcement. Lola is the Cat Video winner, and she takes home 100 zealies for her efforts.

Many of you know that Lola made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. It’s fitting that this video can help us remember her as a playful, Kung-Fu fighter … and a good girl.

Concatulations, Lola!

Check out “The Kitten Connection” from Purina. http://blogs.catster.com/the-cats-meow-a-cat-and-kitten-blog/got-kittens-check-out-the-kitten-connection-from-purina/2009/07/06/ http://blogs.catster.com/the-cats-meow-a-cat-and-kitten-blog/got-kittens-check-out-the-kitten-connection-from-purina/2009/07/06/#comments Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:28:43 +0000 Karen Nichols http://blogs.catster.com/the-cats-meow-a-cat-and-kitten-blog/?p=5261 Kittens are only kittens for a year, but this short time is the most significant stage of a cat’s development. It’s important for kitten owners to recognize how impressionable kittens are and arm themselves with tools and expert advice to ensure they give their kittens the best start in life.

As part of its continuous commitment to sharing professional and practical knowledge with cat owners, Purina Kitten Chow is launching a video series featuring Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Dr. Karen Sueda that will be posted on kittenchow.com. The series, titled The Kitten Connection, is designed to quickly and easily show new – and even experienced – kitten owners tips, tricks, and advice that allow them to make the most out of the lives they share with their kittens.

“Kitten ownership can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, so it’s worth it to prepare ahead of time for every aspect of kitten care,” said Dr. Sueda. “The Kitten Connection recognizes the importance of helping kitten owners raise a well-adjusted kitten because it eventually leads to a healthy, happy and well-mannered adult cat.”

The thirteen webisodes of “The Kitten Connection™” cover the following common kitten care topics:

  1. Litter box training
  2. Kitten-proofing the home
  3. First days at home
  4. Introductions to resident pets
  5. Children and kittens
  6. Managing a multiple cat household.
  7. Shopping for Kitten Necessities
  8. First Vet Visit
  9. Kitten Nutrition
  10. Kitten Health Check
  11. Establishing Behavior Expectations
  12. Proper Socialization with People
  13. Making The Transition From Kitten to Adult

Each video is full of easy steps to help owners enrich their relationships with their kittens and create foundations of well-being for many years to come.

These videos are designed to provide kitten owners tips, tricks, and advice that allow them to make the most out of the lives they share with their kittens. Certified Veterinary Behaviorist Dr. Karen Sueda guides owners through easy steps to help enrich their relationships with their kittens and create foundations for many years to come.

Wearing a jaunty stationmaster’s cap, Tama has been a boon to the local economy.

Well, check out this video of another Japanese train station cat, this one in Hiroshima. This one isn’t quite the high achiever that Tama is. Maybe she needs a stationmaster cap for motivation. Or perhaps she just has a case of the Mondays.

I’m posting this photo for no other reason than it made me smile in a creepy kind of way. Enjoy your weekend, and celebrate Einstein’s 130th birthday!

Here’s a cocktail party tidbit: Einstein’s cat would get depressed whenever it rained and Straus once overheard Einstein telling it, “I know what’s wrong, dear fellow, but I don’t know how to turn it off.” In honor of Einstein’s cat, here’s a cartoon:
