Tiered Wood Cat Feeding Station Shelters the Cat Food from the Dog
If you share quarters with both a cat and a dog, you know they like to eat each other's food. The difference is that many cats like to "graze" while most dogs scarf theirs down. So next thing you know the dog is inhaling the cat's dinner.
This attractive Tiered Wood Cat Feeding Station keeps the dog out of the cat's food. The feeding chamber is constructed for easy climbing and has slatted sides for ventilation. A hinged safety opening allows for easy access and cleaning. It will work with any decor and comes with two stainless bowls.

Amazon Hot New Pet Book -- Part Wild: One Woman's Journey with a Creature Caught Between the Worlds of Wolves and Dogs by Ceiridwen Terrill
Many of us who love our dogs are also fascinated by their relative, the wolf. What would it be like to have a dog-wolf hybrid? Part Wild: One Woman's Journey with a Creature Caught Between the Worlds of Wolves and Dogs
by Ceiridwen Terrill tells the tale of the author's adoption and life with a wolfdog--part husky, part gray wolf--named Inyo.
Apparently she picked a wolf-dog hybrid to protect herself from an abusive ex-boyfriend who was stalking her, but may have bit off more than she could chew. If you are romantic about the nature of wolves as many of us are, this book likely will relieve you of that fantasy.
In her quest to understand the differences between domesticated dogs and wild wolves, Terrill did spend five years interviewing genetics experts, wolf biologists, dog trainers, and wolf rescuers in the United States, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, and Russia. An informative and moving animal saga, this book is honest and straightforward and will leave you much more appreciative of your own dog.
For a fascinating review and more on wolf-dogs, read the blog entry at The Other End of the Leash | Patricia McConnell.

Add Dried Tea Leaves to Your Litter Box to Cut Odor
We sure love our kitty cats, but not so much the litter box odor. Added recycled dried tea leaves
can be effective for a natural and environmentally healthy litter box air freshener. Tea also has strong anti-bacterial properties that can help keep the litter box clean. So if you are a tea drinker, this would be an essentially free solution for you.
Along these lines, Green Tea Leaves Cat Litter
is a clumping litter that uses 100 percent all natural, biodegradable ingredients. It is flushable and light-weight--less than 1/3 the weight of conventional clay.

Airlines Snubbing Snub-Nosed Pets
Do you know what a brachycephalic breed is? If you live with a Pit Bull Terrier, Pug, Shih Tzu, Bulldog or Boxer, among others, chances are you do. Brachycephalic literally means "short-face" or "short-head" and refers to dog breeds with facial features that include a compressed upper jaw and a short muzzle.
As reported recently in Banned by Many Airlines, These Bulldogs Fly Private - NYTimes.com, snub-nosed dogs are showing up on some airlines' do-not-fly lists, along with Persian and Himalayan cats, due to innate respiratory difficulties which can be magnified by air travel.
According to the federal Agriculture Department, 189 animals died on commercial flights from June 2005 to June 2011; of those animals, 98 -- more than half -- were brachycephalic breeds.
If conditions are such that you must fly your pet, you do have options. Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Sun Country apparently still allow brachycephalic breeds to fly in cargo. Pet Airways and Pet Jets offer chartered service.

Amazon.com Hot New Pet Book Release -- Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend by Susan Orlean
Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend
by The New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean is the well-researched story of the line of related German Shepherd dogs featured in 20th century fictional stories on film, radio and television. The story spans 90 years and 11 generations of Rin Tin Tin descendants, providing a fascinating history of the rise of Hollywood, dogs in film and war, and the animal-human bond.
The true saga begins back in France near the end of World War I, when an American soldier, Lee Duncan, discovered a newborn German shepherd in the ruins of a bombed-out dog kennel. Mr Duncan brought "Rinty" back to Calfornia, taught him tricks and successfully launched him on a motion picture and radio career. Rin Tin Tin has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1623 Vine St.
Baby Boomers will remember The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, an ABC television series which ran from October 1954 to May 1959. It usually starred Rin Tin Tin's descendant, Rin Tin Tin IV, in the lead role.
