6-16-03: If you missed last night's viewing of the Top 50 Animals on TV, you can see it again tonight, on the Discovery Channel's Animal Planet at 8 p.m. ET.Love the grace and beauty of the wild panther?

6-6-03: We are blessed this week with great articles by two guest writers. This one is Michelle T.

Michelle is an expert on this breed, and has been breeding and (raising naturally) ASH cats for years. If you like this "All-American Cat" breed, you'll love this article.

5-30-03: So Your Cat is Pregnant. Where do you go from here? Your first major decision is whether or not to allow the condition to continue. If the answer is "yes," here's help in knowing what to expect in the next two months (or 63 days, as it were).With apparent disregard for requests to wait for an unbiased scientific study, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission passed the proposed resolution calling for the killing of cats on public property in Florida, a decision denounced by Alley Cat Allies as "public policymaking at its worst."
5-29-03: A Florida Fish and Wildlife Director suffered "hoof and mouth" disease when he joked about shooting cats on a still-open phone line after leaving a message for Alley Cat Allies.He referred to that respected organization as a "bunch of crazies," and called their written commentary "shit."
Alley Cat Allies representatives are asking that the vote intended for May 30th be postponed until an unbiased scientific study can be done
5-25-03: An important part of writing for any audience is giving them what they want to read. For that reason, statistics are a vital part of any writer's toolbox.

Although this Top 10 list is from one point in time, it is pretty representative of the mix from week-to-week.

Since a number of premium dry cat foods have been introduced recently, these picks have been significantly changed.
