All you need to know about tabby cats:

November 20, 2020       

I just found some links that may be very interesting and helpful to you right now. So I don't want to wait until the December issue to share them. Besides, Thanksgiving will be over by then, and the following articles may be useful references for holiday eating. Our schedules and menus will change, and our pets' opportunities can change, too. If we're feeling festive this time of year, many of us love to give our kitties some treats as we are enjoying our own. The problem can develop when we get them mixed, or mixed up. Sharing what we love isn't always great for them.

The following links go to websites that list and explain what foods are harmful or dangerous as well as foods that are helpful and harmless.

Feeding Your Cat
https://catinfo.org/ - The latest article appears on the home page here, so if "Feeding Your Cat" does not appear, you should be able to download it here:

https://catinfo.org/docs/FeedingYourCat 4pages 2011-11-13.pdf  (Download link)

However, if this link works, I'll be surprised. I had nothing but trouble with it. If the information weren't so valuable, I would abandon this one. Source: Dr Lisa Pierson, catinfo.org

A Yes/No List of Foods For Your Cat
This page might be easier and more to the point:

If you have any trouble accessing these links, let me know and I'll help you get the information. I downloaded much of it.

 

In case you're in the market for a calendar for the coming year, here are some links if you're a do-it-yourselfer and like saving money. These calendars are free. However, nothing in life is really FREE free. Right? Even if you won't get charged for using these services, you may have to pay for ink and paper to print them off yourself. Or, maybe you have a friend who will help you at no charge. I used to get a lot of free calendars in the mail, at the bank and from various businesses around town. That's pretty rare nowadays, especially this year. So I plan to make a calendar or two for myself.

1. Make a calendar for free, download and print. No images. Must register an account.
https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/basic.html  

2. This site looks just like the last one.
https://www.calendarlabs.com/calendars/free-custom-calendar.php#

3. Free if using their images, or you can pay a fee to add your own photos or art work. But it's not as easy as it looks. Must also register an account.

4. https://www.calendarlabs.com/2021-photo-calendar  Registration not required.

5. Here you can make calendars as well as planners. Has video tutorials.
