Unique Cat Breeds!
I have pet a lot of cats since childhood but they have all been strays. I have found all of them equally cute and equally unique. I have seen cats at adoption centers too. Some of them were exotic to me. But of course, they were all individual entities with their own distinctive traits. But […]
Purebred and pedigreed? Doesn’t make sense to me!
According to Wikipedia “Purebreds, also called purebreeds, are cultivated varieties or cultivars of an animal species, achieved through the process of selective breeding.

Growing threats to our Pet Dogs
Your dog is like your child. Only you know the agony you feel when it falls ill. Whether it gets a mild diarrhea or throws up a little, a responsible and caring owner frets and rushes to the vet to get his dog checked up. Although vets tend to burn a hole in the owner’s […]

Written Kitten: Kitten Care!
A friend of mine had Mimi, a female cat, who got pregnant without anyone discovering her condition until the day she went into labour.
