The Cat Blog on TheCatSite.com

One of my favorite forums in our community is “Fur Pictures and Videos Only”, where members share visuals (and sometimes soundtracks too!) of their precious furbabies. Every now and again we get a special theme thread in there, especially now with our monthly themed contests (thanks to our Contest Contessa, Heidi (aka valanhb on the boards).

One specific contest which I thought had absolutely stunning pictures is the cat eyes photo contest. Some amazing close-ups on cat eyes which really show up the beauty of this unique feline feature. I’m going to share the pictures that got the most votes here, but do yourself a favor and visit the thread to see the rest! Pretty much every member that had to vote mentioned just how hard it was making a choice!

Here are the most voted for pictures so far -

Gigi the gorgeous calico-tabby with the calico pattern reflected in her eyes :

Sabina with her amazing baby blue eyes -

Nikita the green eyed silky Bengal -

Sweet odd-eyes Smudge -

Are these pictures gorgeous or what? Cat eyes are a fascinating thing. They’re not just beautiful either. In fact, we have an article just about that on the site right here : A Cat’s Eyes – Windows To The Soul

It’s the first day of May, a time of some holiday or another in many cultures. They tell us that the reason for that is that this is traditionally the first day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere – I just read up on that on Wikipedia here.

This may be a good time for a seasonal anti-flea treatment. In fact, I had the pleasure of applying Frontline on all three resident felines in our home this week, so we’re all ready for Summer to kick in! If you’re not sure if you should de-flea your own crew, it might be time to get back to our article about Cat Fleas for some more information, and maybe a quick read through the shopping guide relating to Anti-Flea Products as well. It’s important to use only vet-approved products to treat your cat with and avoid OTC products which could be toxic for cats.

Cat in the Spotlight #2 – Mario!

Gorgeous Mario belongs to one of our long-time members known as Bella713. This sweet boy is a colorpoint longhair, with perhaps some Himalayan and maybe even some Ragdoll in him.

Here’s some more about Mario, right out of his own cat page -

Mario is a Flamepoint Himalayan, possible Ragdoll Mix. He is so sweet, and it’s funny but he walks fast to every place he goes LOL He is in love with Lucia and grooms her often till she gets sick of it. He has been with us 5 months now and is getting more affectionate everyday and we adore him!

Get a cat page for your own cat and I’ll be glad to feature him or her in a future “In the Spotlight” here on the blog! Just join us at the forums and you can have a free cat page for each one of your cats too.
