Glow Kitty

Researchers found a way to clone pet cats five years ago. Now they can play a trick on their genes to change their color.

All I know is that it would be great if my cats glowed at night, then I'd know where to step when I'm heading to piddle in the middle of the night!!

Your Studio Mascot: Enter Today!

Do you or friend work in a animal friendly environment?

Those of you who work from home are often visited by your four legged friend and that can be a welcomed interruption at times; there are larger companies who actually allow animals into the offices to boost morale.

I thought it would be fun to feature studios or offices that not only admit animal mascots into their work environment, but encourage it.

If you've got a Studio Mascot that you'd like featured on our site, please visit YSM now for more info.

Please Note: We do have a pretty wicked sense of humor, but if the submission is in anyway distasteful, we reserve the right to refuse. For the love of Pets, no Michael Vick re-enactments.

Detect Common Kitty Diseases Thru Cat Litter

I know I could have used this to determine that my cats were on their way to "college."

Seemingly, it's now possible to monitor the health trends of your cat and provide an early detection of potential health problems. Health Meter Cat Litter claims to work by absorbing liquids quickly and amplifying the natural colors (normally microscopic) present in blood and bilirubin. This allows you to see abnormal color changes present in the urine in some diseases states. This process is similar to the way the pixels on your television concentrate to make a visible picture.

Interesting. I'm not endorsing this product, but I may sure try it when one of my pussycats is feeling malaise.
