Cat Stuff

The cat stuff section of the site focuses on both serious and fun cat stuff, odd items, and anything else that doesn't quite seem to fit anywhere else.

Let's start with the basics. Here are some tips all new cat owners should know (and some stuff they should get).

Cats in Cartoons and Comics

I've always liked cartoons and animated films, and I certainly have my cartoon cat favorites.

I've never really been one to sit down and read the comics, but over the years, some feline stars have caught my attention. Some of them are quite hilarious.

Here are some select cartoon cats, and kitties from the comics.

Garfield

Bucky B. Katt of Get Fuzzy

TV, Movies and DVDs

CATS the Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber is based on T.S. Eliot's 1939 work, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

Toys for You and Your Cat

A section on cat stuff would be incomplete without mentioning toys. Laser pointers, mouse-like, and fishing pole toys like Da Bird are often feline fan favorites.

Homemade cat toys like flash lights or rolled up socks often work just as well as the store bought variety, sometimes even better. Just remember to offer a variety of toys since each cat has preferences. Rotate the toys so your kitty doesn't get bored (old cat toys become new again when revisited after a break from them).

DVDs for cats, like video catnip are also often well-liked, and keep your cat company when you're not around. Here is more about cat toys and information on selecting them.

Growing catnip is a good way to keep a supply on hand for refreshing toys and scratching posts.
