Hi everyone,
Welcome to Daily Catitude - Taking Care Of Your Cat Through All Life Stages!
This site is dedicated to all extraordinary ordinary cats with attitude, past and present, and the people that love them.
I have been an animal lover all my life but cats have always been special to me. I hope this blog will help you in your effort of taking care of your cat or cats and you will visit often and have some fun.
Remember that all cats have attitude and taking care of your cat isn’t difficult. They love their people! I have learned alot over the years as a cat owner ( I have five cats now ), working with veterinarians, cat sitting, attending cat shows, and doing alot of reading and research about the mysteries of cats. I am a member of The United States Humane Society and the ASPCA. I have truly experienced the joy of taking care of cats through all life stages, helping with pregnancy and delivery of kittens to having to euthanize my cats and having them die in my arms.
I am also dedicating this blog in memory of my two cats who just passed away. Caesar, my Siamese given to me by my best friend, died of cancer on December 17, 2008 at the age of 16 and Nikki, my white-haired, blue-eyed Tabby (marshmallow cat) died a month later on January 20, 2009 at the age of 21. I found him in a box outside the veterinarian’s office I worked at. He was just 2 1/2 weeks old according to the note in the box. I know Nikki was an old baby and I have heard and read that animals don’t die of broken hearts but it sure did look that way because Nikki and Caesar were best friends and never left each others side.
On a much lighter note, Daily Catitude is in honor of my other five cats - Callie, my 9 year old Calico Manx, Gorgeous Baby, my 8 1/2 year old Striped Tabby, My Favorite Kind, my 8 1/2 year old Mackeral Tabby, Abigail Rose, my 8 1/2 year old Calico Manx ( Callie is the mother of those last three), and Precious Pearl, my 7 year old odd-eyed white Manx. That’s a motley crew for sure!
If you are a cat lover like me or are just interested in cats and why they do what they do, I hope you will find this blog useful. I have included some links on the side that I highly recommend. I will be adding more info for you as time progresses so please check back often. Feel free to leave comments, too.
I have alot of neat ideas for this site. Enter your name and email in the box on the top right side and I will let you know about tips, tricks, and more cool cat stuff! Just click Get Your Daily Catitude! and it’ll be on the way to you.
My 11 year old daughter, Shelby, came up with the name for my blog one night when all five cats were going ballistic at the same time. She said they were having their Daily Catitude! I thought that was perfect!
Now, sit back and enjoy taking care of your cat through all life stages.
Welcome again and thank you!
