Hopefully this is the right place to post this article about cat facial expressions. I found it especially interesting considering how many times I've heard that cats don't have expressive faces, especially compared to dogs. They may not have those adorable big goofy smiles but cats are far...

This handsome boy is Skippy Bartram, a homeless cat who was trapped in a TNR operation... just in the nick of time. He desperately needed an operation to treat a life-threatening hernia, and Project MEOW, a Philadelphia cat rescue, came to his aid. They cleaned out their coffers to pay for...

(I sent this in fun in a PM to @Margret and @Mamanyt1953 and they thought I should post it here. It is based on a true event.) PAUL'S BIG ADVENTURE Once upon a time, there was a very big, very heavy, very beautiful Black Cat named Paul. One of his favorite things to do, other than eating and...

That's the title of an article in the newsletter put out by Science yesterday, 8/8/19. Mystery solved? Why cats eat grass. It's based on research reported at the annual meeting of the International Society for Applied Ethology in Bergen, Norway by Benjamin L. Hart, Lynette A. Hart and Abigail...

This is something a lot of us worry about, that our beloved kitties will find themselves homeless if they survive us. George (6) and Gracie (10) find themselves in just that scary situation because their human passed away recently, leaving them in desperate need of a home. George Gracie I...

Here's an article that TCS members might find interesting: Cats rival dogs on many tests of social smarts. Bug is anyone brave enough to study them? The article describes what researchers are learning about cat intelligence and behavior now that those studies are finally taking place. There's...

:hellosmiley:everyone! A truly wonderful no-kill animal shelter/ low cost clinic, the Animal Welfare Association, is running a fundraiser right now and it could really use some love. It's for a very worthy cause and the fundraiser itself is adorable, although I may be a wee bit biased since...

Bek is feeling rotten today so she asked me to post the Question of the Day. "Of course" I said, and pulled up my computer to get to work. Instantly, Chula appeared at my side and began gently pawing my arm - one of her ways of getting attention. The Question of the Day is: How do(es)...

In my hour of need, I'm turning (naturally) to TCS for advice. I have been trying to purchase a (working) digital pet thermometer. This need not be a thermometer just for animals - many thermometers with the bendy tips claim to be appropriate for animals, as well as humans. I'm currently...

:hellosmiley: @Mamanyt1953 is recovering from the flu and asked me to ask The Question of the Day, today. I pondered :headscratch: and considered several ideas :ruminating: before realizing that the ideal question was right before me. :idea: It's a two-parter. A. Did you get a flu shot...

A few days ago I noticed that The Market Place sub-forum in the Cat Lounge had vanished. Today a member pointed out that the Announcements sub-forum has vanished as well. Just wondering what's going on. :dunno:

I just wanted to express my sympathy to all of our Mexican members over the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that has caused so much death and destruction in Mexico City. Coming right after the magnitude 8.1 earthquake that hit Mexico just a little over a week ago and on the anniversary of the deadly...

Today, I tried to get a photo of Chula sitting in a box and playing wand toy. Uh, no. Didn't happen. Why the heck does she have a white mask on her neck? If anyone else has some um, unusual photos of their darlings, please post them here!

CNN's home page today links to a video on cat yoga that some might enjoy. I can't embed the video so here's the link . The good stuff starts at the 43 second mark and no, it's not about the cats doing yoga although one of them seems to be following along with the class. Anyway, it's yoga with...

In the last couple of weeks, I've suddenly been treated to large blank gaps where URLs that contain images should appear. I've seen the problem in 2 cases. 1. When I copy and paste the URL of a page with an image (for example an amazon page) directly into my post. When it's posted, I don't...

Science has an intriguing article on research studying why cats get adopted. The researchers had previously discovered that dogs who raised their eyebrows were more likely to get adopted than those who didn't and were curious to know if something similar was going on with cats. They developed...

In the old site we had the embed tool so that when we linked to an article or thread, it automatically included the title. Is there still a way to do that or do we have to manually write out the title and then link to it through the hyperlink tool?
