The domestic cat must have an extraordinary ability to suppress pain and discomfort because surprisingly they sometimes climb large cacti and sit on the top. Cats and cactuses go together in a most uncomfortable way. It astonishes me why a cat wants to climb a large cactus as if he was climbing a tree. There …
By Elisa Black-Taylor Do some cats need to wear clothes? I’ve done a little research on this subject since I wrote my last article about cats wearing clothes. I used to be mistaken in thinking a cat only wore clothes because of the vanity of the owner to treat the cat as a dressed up …

The fire, incidentally, was believed to have been caused by fireworks (4th July celebrations perhaps?). The big question for me …

By Ruth (USA) A pleasant drive in the country today brought me to Prairie Animal Hospital in North Prairie, Wisconsin.
