There’s a new light in the fish tank. Clearly Mini Cooper approves. She loves her fish. She would love them to death, if she could.

Caturday: It’s a Cat’s Life
Noel, here. I can’t believe the suffering that I must endure with all the coffee cups that Mom has with dog sayings on them. At least she has cat dishes. Don’t you think that someone can buy her a cat mug for her birthday (which actually happens to be today)? Don’t tell her I told you about her birthday because she is feeling really old. My birthday is tomorrow, maybe someone will get me a new cat bowl, with lots and lots of treats in it (hint! hint!). I feel younger than spring time!

Black and White Sunday: Up Close
Noel, the Christmas cat, is a mess. She seems to always have mudge in her eyes and food all over her face and never is able to get clean. I just love this silly girl.

Caturday: Mini & Mr. Rabbit
Mini Cooper is anything but quiet. So catching her in this moment, while contemplating her next great troublemaking endeavor, was a gift. She is the sweetest girl. She thinks she is a dog and just wants to be in the center of everything. Diluted Tortes are a special bunch.

Caturday: Nine’s Nose – What Cats Smell?
It amazes me that the cats like to sit in the middle of all the dog toys, and then, one of them goes into the toy basket and finds a tiny catnip toy all the way on the bottom of the basket and brings it out to play with. How does Nine do that?
Did you know that cats might have better smell ability than dogs? There are 3 different scent receptor proteins in mammal noses. One of them is called V1R. This is believed to control a mammal’s ability to separate one scent from another. Dogs have 9 variants of V1R protein. Humans have 2. Cats have 30. These shows that scent probably plays a much more important role in a cat’s everyday life than we realize.
Clearly, the way to get a cat to do something you want would be by enticing them with highly scented food, like tuna. The trouble with cats is unlike dogs, they don’t give a darn about pleasing you, so training them, regardless of this revelation that they can smell really well, may be hard to leverage. Can you see Search & Rescue using Scent Cats instead of Dogs? I think it is a great idea.
