"CatBank is the future of feline DNA testing, health diagnosis and lost cat recovery." Tue, 04 Jul 2006 02:50:18 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article26.html ...from Pet Product News Given the popularity of reality television, it was bound to happen: a realty show for animals. In this case, 10 cats living together in a specially designed home, The Meow Mix House in New York. What’s more, the cats will vie for a top job with The Meow Mix Co. The winner, to be selected by Internet voting, gets the job of “Feline Vice President of Research and Development,” responsible for taste-testing new products and lines. The cats are from shelters all over the country, including Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas. Webcam filming in the house begins June 6. The cats’ antics will be broadcast on the Internet and producers were planning to use pop-up dialogue bubbles to liven things up. The webcasts will feature Meow Mix products and other pet supply companies have donated items, such as bowls and beds, which will be displayed inside the house. People can vote online for their favorite cats and the ones with the fewest votes will be booted out of the house, ala “Survivor.” Meow Mix assures that every cat will be given a permanent home, however. The cat that gets the most votes will land the Meow Mix vice president job.

It has shocked and outraged many of the city's citizens who where completely unaware of this tax payer funded 'slaughterhouse' operating right in the middle of their city. The City of San Antonio will send more cats and dogs, per capita, to their deaths, than any other major city in the US! NEARLY 50,000! This story will outrage you! If if doesn't, then this slide show certainly will! Wed, 24 Nov 2004 01:08:25 -0600 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article22.html I know this is dog news. But as I read this in the paper this morning...I couldn't help but share. What a punk. Some people are so stupid!... "Dog dies after his snout is taped shut" Police: "The Colony man wanted to stop canine's bark so he could sleep" 02:16 PM CDT on Friday, July 23, 2004 By KEVIN KRAUSE / The Dallas Morning News When Glenda Sanchez noticed Bull with duct tape wrapped around his snout, head and neck, the 1-year-old black Labrador retriever had just enough energy to run toward her before collapsing near her feet in the sweltering sun. Fri, 23 Jul 2004 17:21:03 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article21.html I'm watching my local nightly news the day before yesterday and they had a news story about a little yellow kitten that was found paddling for it's life 3 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico! A passing boat noticed the little kitten and pulled it out of the water. It survived and has been adopted. I can only think of two possibilities here. 1. The little kitten fell off a boat. 2. Some creep tossed a cat overboard. Sad, statement on some citizens of this human race. Tue, 13 Jul 2004 23:46:33 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article17.html If you've checked out the photo gallery you might have noticed a picture of a white three legged cat. His name is B.K., which used to stand for Broken Kitty. Now it stands for Brave Kitty! I will tell his story here. However, it's late and I've got to go to work tomorrow morning so check back here soon for the broken cat story. Wed, 23 Jun 2004 00:43:31 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article16.html The third and final ‘Norton’ book. I’ve read one review that called this book a “Life Changing Book”! After reading the other two ‘Norton’ books published in 1991 and 1993 and getting ‘to know’ Norton from them, I can say this was a powerful book for me. Published in 2001, Norton is sixteen years old and on his last journey. Cat person or not, this book will move you. Sun, 20 Jun 2004 14:30:43 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article15.html The second ‘Norton’ book. The continuing adventures of the traveling cat.

This guy was a cat hater until he received Norton as a gift from his brother. What a cool cat! Sun, 20 Jun 2004 14:30:23 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article13.html With my fondness for felines, and having read, “The Complete Cat”, you can imagine my surprise when I discovered Cleveland’s “Black Beauty Ranch” was right in my back yard, just southeast of Dallas! I had to take the ranch tour and buy this book! “Ranch of Dreams” contains remarkable stories of amazing animals. Read this book about these animals…then meet them during your next visit to northeast Texas! Sun, 20 Jun 2004 14:30:15 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article12.html While “The Cat Who Came for Christmas” is the perfect gift book, this is the book to read and add to your library. Cleveland’s three classic books, “The Cat Who Came for Christmas”, The Cat And The Curmudgeon” and the “The Best Cat Ever”, compiled into one volume. Here’s your chance to meet Cleveland and his cat Polar Bear. This was my first ‘true story’ cat book, and Polar Bear is still my favorite celebrity cat. Sun, 20 Jun 2004 14:30:03 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article11.html This is “The Best Selling Cat Book of All Time”. Need I say more? This book needs to be in your library! It’s a great gift book for any occasion, and obviously makes for a perfect Christmas gift. Sun, 20 Jun 2004 14:29:50 -0500 http://www.catcorral.com/community/Article9.html Twice this week on my drive to work in the morning, I've passed road kill. DEAD CATS! For the past 6 years I've driven the same route and up to now have not seen any dead cats...thats why two in the same week is really weird and disturbing. The first one I saw was smashed pretty bad, the second one a couple of days later was a clean yellow tabby. Obviously, a case of an irresponsible owner. I wondered did they both belong to the same owner? In any case, it's a pet peeve of mine. Your cat belongs indoors. If you don't love your cat enough to keep it inside, then you don't deserve to have a cat. I read somewhere the average life span of an outdoor cat is 5 years old, compared to an indoor cat that lives an average of 12 years old. Okay so you're the type that thinks you can do as you wish with your pet and you don't care if your cat dies an early death. You still owe it to your neighbors to keep your cat indoors. I love cats, however, I don't appreciate your cat's paw prints on the hood of my car...or the stink left behind in my garden. You can't justify letting your cat roam free outdoors.

Whatever the reason it's much easier for men to discuss their weekend adventures with their dog. Just a fact of life I find very interesting. Thu, 04 Mar 2004 22:52:36 -0600
