H1N1 (Swine Flu) confirmed in American cat.
Schaumburg, IL A cat in Iowa has tested positive for the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, state officials confirmed this morning, marking the first time a cat has been diagnosed with this strain of influenza. The cat, which has recovered, is believed to have caught the virus from someone in the household who was sick with H1N1. There are no indications that the cat passed the virus on to any other animals or people. Prior to this diagnosis, the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus had been found in humans, pigs, birds and ferrets.

Neighbourhood kitties.
Since I’ve started working later in the mornings, Train has had more ’sun time’ up on our enclosed top step.

So I look down and I see this grey fluffy thing sitting on top of the bag of dog food under a rack.”

Are you interested in reviewing a cat product?
Let’s face it – Train is a pretty spoilt cat. She’s got toys coming out of her ears, and has tried more kinds of treats than most cats her age. That’s why Mr. J and I have decided that for a couple of months (or more) we won’t be buying anything new for Train. We’ll be rotating the toys she already has, and using the treats we’ve still got. It also means I wont really have much to review for a little while! Hence the question: Are you interested in reviewing a cat product? If you have a toy, some food, a book or other kitty-related item that you think you could write a paragraph or two about (or more!) then I’d love to
