5 Years' Worth of Cats: Part 2

Part 2

Part 2: The Acquisition of Cats I am a crazy cat lady. And by that, I mean I love cats a crazy amount. I am now the proud owner of three adopted cats (which, I’ll admit, was more than I intended to acquire when I began cat ownership). But I will also admit that three is currently my limit. (Not only is it the limit for the City of Los Angeles, but also for the sanity of my current cats. And…

Read More: Socializing a Shy/Fearful Cat

Check out my NEW article “No Cats Under the Bed: Socializing a Shy/Fearful Cat”, which I wrote for Heaven on Earth Society for Animals. Here’s an excerpt: For a shy or under-socialized cat, the world can be a scary place. If a cat feels threatened by the world around them (even if these threats are imagined), they can quickly withdraw from social activities and spend all day hiding under the bed…

[Cats] Jumping Through Hoops

A few months ago, my dad sent me the following email:

Here is something I thought you would be interested in that we saw in Key West. It was part of the early evening entertainment going on around sunset. Once you have trained your cats to do this I will send you a photo of the next trick!

This photo is, of course, of a cat jumping over a man’s arm from one stool to the other. Apparently, the man…

Top 6 Items to Donate to an Animal Shelter

Top 6 Items to Donate to an Animal Shelter

The donation of physical items to an animal shelter can be extremely welcome, as shelters don’t necessarily have the funds to provide these items themselves. But unless you volunteer or work at a shelter, it can be hard to know what is most useful. Here is my list of the top six items (or types of items) you should donate to your local animal shelter:

1. Towels/blankets/beds are one of the…

Cats That Twitch: Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome

Cats That Twitch: Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome

The most famous cat in recent news—Lux, the “911 cat”—made headlines back in March when he attacked his family’s baby and held them hostage at their home in Oregon. The family called 911 for rescue, which then leaked to the media. Perhaps because of its sensational nature (whoever heard of a cat holding anyone hostage?), the story went viral. And not long after that, Jackson Galaxy convinced…

Smirnoff's Adopt-iversary

Smirnoff’s shelter photo

Four years ago today, I went to the Animal Rescue League of Boston and adopted a one-year-old cat named Bolt. I gave him a new name: Smirnoff.

A few months later, I began volunteering. A few years after that, I got a job at Best Friends Animal Society – Los Angeles.

It’s true that adoption changes lives.

Happy Adopt-iversary, Smirnoff!

Project Dog Zailey

At first glance, Zailey looks like just another middle-aged tan chihuahua. To be fair, her breed is actually quite mixed—she has short legs, but a thin nose; perky ears that flop at the very ends; and a little nub tail that, when it wags, makes her whole butt wiggle. So while she’s definitely notjust a chihuahua (perhaps not even a chihuahua at all), animal shelters, particularly in Southern…

'Tis the [Kitten] Season

‘Tis the [Kitten] Season

Los Angeles had a warm winter, which means one thing: an early start to kitten season. The little balls of fur are beginning to find their way into shelters and into our kitten nursery, foreshadowing a long, fur-filled spring and summer.

Perhaps surprisingly, the population with the highest rate of euthanasia in shelters is under-aged kittens (under 8 weeks old). By a lot. The reason for this is…
