Mews and Nips: Why Do Cats Try to Fit Into Small Spaces?
Categories: Mews and Nips
Cat lovers all know the “if it fits it sits” meme, showing cats squeezing themselves into what sometimes appear to be impossibly small spaces. Earlier this week, an article in the Mercury News explored this behavior, and, unlike many cat behaviors that have humans puzzled, the reason for this seems to simply be that cats feel more secure in tight quarters. Visit the Mercury News to read more about this behavior.

Allegra’s World: 8th Adoption Anniversary

Mews and Nips: Keep Your Cats Away from Easter Lilies
Categories: Mews and Nips
Instead of a heartwarming story, our lead feature of this week’s round up is going to be warning about Easter Lilies. Ever year, I’m surprised how many cat parents still don’t know how deadly these flowers can be to cats.

For more information, please read my full post here and please spread the word!
