My parents adopted a cat a couple of years ago from my friend who fosters for The Cat Network, so when I decided to add a furry friend to my household, I didn’t have to go far to find one – Lyra fit the bill. She likes to talk up…
Nearly 5 years ago, we lost our first cat, Missy, to old age. During her 18 years, she made friends with everyone, even “non-cat” people. Since her loss, we’ve dreamed of having another black cat to keep our tortie, Allie, company. For the last 18 months, we’d been considering whether…
Our family loves cats, especially those big orange and white male domestic shorthairs. In our experience, they are everything one could ask for in a cat. (There are special angels in kitty heaven named Spencer and Quincy that gave us that experience.) We weren’t really looking for a kitten last…

WD Wheeler couldn’t be more perfectly named. Not only is he a beautiful and svelte trapeze artist who can perfectly balance himself between any two stationary or moving objects, but he is brilliantly adept at playing with his robotic mouse or ‘Smarty Cat’ and fearlessly exploring his new home. WD…
