Carnival of The Cats #366

The Carnival of the Cats is a weekly roundup of Cat-related posts on weblogs, in America, and around the world, who choose to submit a post for inclusion.

For us Cat Bloggers the Carnival is a chance to discover blogs we might never have heard of, on subjects of all kinds!

The Carnival Home Page, with an archive of past Carnivals, the Line-up for 2011, FAQ'S, and more, is HERE.

Before we begin I wish to express our deepest condolences to Pet's Garden Blog, who was scheduled to host this past weekend, but suffered a loss of a loved one in the Humans family, a couple of weeks ago, and have not blogged since.

Please join us in letting them know they have the support of their friends in blogging in their time of sadness.

So let's get this show on the road!

1. From the Veterinarian Colleges website are "25 Tips and Tricks to Help Your Pets Slim down".

As the writer explains:

"As many already know, the obesity epidemic is growing in movement and in
patients. However, what many don’t know is that is it also spreading to the pet
population. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, there are 84
million overweight or obese cats and dogs in the United States and the number
shows no signs of stopping or slowing."

Many of the links are related to Cats, so check them out!

2. The makers of SureFlap Cat Flaps have a blog, and they want any retailer near a prominent Convention, this week, reading their heads-up, to stop at their booth. ;-D

3. Over at Lost in the Cheese Aisle...Someone makes an eloquent, poetic, Feline Request. ;-D

4. Come along to A French Education, and learn the name of a beautiful, new Feline member of the family. ;-D

As Patti says: "As T.S. Eliot wrote, the naming of cats is a difficult matter." ;-D

5. Over at Katz & Other Tales...See how they take the Wordy Wednesday Challenge!

6. Over at Catsparella...Get a load of 5 Fun and Unusual Cat Themed Good Luck Charms. Very interesting stuff worth checking out. ;-D

7. Over at The Second Half...Turns out that feline leukemia, however, is the least of Pnchita's worries. Shortly after arrival in the family, she was also diagnosed with intestinal lymphoma, and recently had another ultrasound, which this post discusses, as well as sharing a couple of nice pictures of the little lady.

Purrs, and Purrayers, for Pinchita!

8. Over at My Cats & Funny Stories...Somebody is eating too much! ;-D

9. Cokie the Cat announces that, in celebration of the 1st Anniversary of The Anipal Times, there will be a Twitter Pawty on April 2nd & 3rd. ;-D

12. Over at This Blog Is Full of Crap Laurence is trying to make a movie about Myst...Let's just say that if you think Charlie Sheen has been acting like a jerk lately...he's got nothing on Nardo.

Actors can be such jerks, I swear! ;-D

I also heartily recommend you check out Mr. Simon's 100 Word Stories, and consider trying your hand, as we have, and will again. ;-D
