Hello Cat Lover!
Well, 2008 is off to a cold start! Sure hope you and
your kitties are keeping warm at your house! Since we
moved to the farm, we've had a challenge keeping
everyone warm here, including ourselves!
Thanks to everyone who sent in some fantastic links
this month! I will include them below.

WHAT'S UP
===================================
I'm going to be interviewed by a new cat book author
this month and will likely have some of it included
in his book. I will let you know when, and what his
book is going to be called, and how you can get one!
Just remember, it takes a while for a book to be written,
and then published. I'm excited, and honored to be asked!

Thanks to Judy for sharing this link.
You may have to copy then paste it into
your own browser if this one breaks up.
It's pretty long! But it's worth a look!
And another one from Judy:

I've used Classical music to calm my cats at the shelter, but most often
have played it on the radio on those dreaded visits to the vet!
It really works!
