As obligate carnivores, cats didn't need to develop a taste for carbohydrates. When they taste something sugary sweet, it doesn't come across as sweet in the way we would detect it with our taste buds.

Just one of the reasons they should never be declawed:

The reason cats are so quiet and fast.

Cats are having a major economic impact in Japan 😺

A new report estimates that cats will generate nearly $19 billion in economic activity in Japan this year through spending on pet care, cat-themed tourism, cafes, books, merchandise, and other cat-related businesses. The phenomenon has even earned a nickname: “catnomics.”

Cats have been Japan’s most popular pet for a decade, with an estimated 8.8 million living in households across the country. Their influence can be seen everywhere from tourism destinations and temples to literature, souvenirs, and local businesses.

Time for some 𝐌𝐘𝐓𝐇-𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒‼️

Over the years, we've heard a lot of concerns about Trap-Neuter-Return. Most come from a place of caring, but many are based on misconceptions. Let's talk about a few of them.

The more we learn about TNR, the more we realize that it isn't about taking something away from cats. It's about giving them a healthier, safer future. ❤️

Any other Trekkies out there? If so, you know of ‘Spot’. Who is a pretty cat. And a good cat 😹😻

Hey there, Siskiyou! We are in need of cat food donations, please. Canned and dry, any brand is fine. You can drop donations off at our building at 106 Oberlin Rd, Yreka, behind Ponderosa Vet, or call Denise for pikup 530.643.2507. We can continue our mission, only with your help. Because of your generous support, we have spayed/neutered/vaccinated over 7,000 stray and feral cats and kitteens since 2006: YOU did that! Thank you! 😻🐈🐈‍⬛🐈
