Hi my name is Marcella, but you can call me Marcy. I have a wonderful personality and am needing a caring and loving home. I've come a long way from the box I was found in at a grocery store parking lot. I am a beautiful, thriving cat with a lot of love to give. My foster family say I remind them of a Russian Blue with my soft, shiny bluish-gray coat.

The Cat Connection Cats of the Month

December 2004 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by The Cat Connection Shop Cats


Owner: Meredith Sonson
Cat's Name: Sunny
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Tabby
Age: 12

About the Winner:
Meredith lived in Miami Beach, Florida at the time she adopted Sunny. She wanted to get a cat and didn’t even think twice about getting her new pet and family member at the City Pound so she could save an animal's life and to give an less fortunate animal a wonderful life full of love and affection and provide him with a home that is safe and nurturing and where he would have nothing to fear.

It’s a Treat, It’s a Toy:
It’s Pawbreaker Time!

Pawbreakers are simply a solid ball of top quality catnip, specially combined with a food-grade binding agent to make a tasty toy that can be chased and eaten by your pet with practically no mess.

The Catnip:
Does your cat go CRAZY for catnip? The vast majority of cats react to the high-quality catnip used to make Pawbreakers by pawing, licking, rolling, chewing or chasing and pouncing on them. Catnip is a relative of the mint family of herbs, and has a wide variety of benefits for your kitty. Fresh catnip should have a pungent minty type of odor.

Two Great New Foods:
Felidae Platinum and Organix Feline Formula

Felidae Platinum:
Felidae now presents Felidae Platinum formulated especially for Senior and Over Weight cats. This is the perfect, all natural, reduced calorie, meat based cat food for your special kitty. Not to mention it is lower in protein, lower in fat, and has fewer calories than most standard foods available. This special formula contains Glucosamine & Chondroiton for better joint health and Psyllium for fiber intake that helps with digestion. Made the “Felidae Way” with superior quality in every bag and contains no corn, wheat, soy grain factions or fillers, and all naturally preserved.

New from Kittywalk:
Stylish Strollers and SUV’s

No longer will your pet look at you sadly when you are about to leave on an outdoor adventure, because with the Pet Stroller and SUV you can go out together! The Kittywalk Pet Stroller family of products was designed for anyone who owns cats or small dogs, and has experienced the difficulty of carrying those awkward pet carriers for long distances.

Sturdy and lightweight, the Kittywalk Stroller consists of two elements:

1. The portable and lightweight carrier with weather-resistant fabric & netting was designed to be used with the stroller or by itself as an alternative to the stuffy standard plastic carriers.
2. The stroller with custom platform is designed to be used with the carrier, or can be used by itself to haul other items. Attractive and easily maneuverable, the Kittywalk Pet Stroller has a one button break release and folding mechanism as well.

Start the New Year Off Right:
Keeping Kitty Healthy and Happy

Keeping the Water Fresh:
A watering fountain is a great way to show your pets just how much you care. Research shows that one of the best ways to improve your pet's health is to get them to drink more water. And the best way to do that is with an Automated Fountain that can provide plenty of fresh water. Our fountains flow continually aerates your pet's water with healthful oxygen as a charcoal filter removes the bad tastes and odors, giving your pet the best possible - and most appealing - way to stay healthy and hydrated!

The Dangers, Thrills, and Delights of “Catness”
Written by: Elizabeth L. DeLomba, DVM

What do we love the most about cats? Why, we love their very "catness," of course! We love the ruthless way they pounce upon invisible vermin, and the slow, languid way they flirt with the leg of an antique chair—those quirky idiosyncracies that make felines so lovable, yet such bewitching little creatures.

Certainly, anyone who owns a cat has multiple stories of how their particular feline has managed to fluster, frighten, and delight its family members. Maybe your cat likes to do a tap dance on your fax machine, or maybe it has a neurotic fascination with empty Acme bags.
