***New Gary & Morris Story***
"It was a wet day in Alberta. Almost the entire province saw a blanket of heavy rain move in and make itself comfortable, raining all yesterday, throughout the night, and again in the morning.

Gary and Morris were disappointed they couldn’t go out and spend time with their friends.

“This sure is a bummer,” said Morris. “I hope our woodland friends are okay!”

“I am sure they are fine,” Gary replied. “They wouldn’t be ‘woodland friends’ if they couldn’t handle a little rain.”

"If you've ever brought home a shiny new toy for your cat, only to watch them ignore it in favor of the cardboard box it came in, you're not alone. It’s one of the great mysteries of cat ownership. Why are they so obsessed with boxes? As it turns out, there is some logic behind it beyond cats just being plain weird."

***New Gary & Morris Story***

“Looks like the neighbour's kids are setting something up,” Gary answered.

“What are they doing?”

“I don’t know. Looks like they have a big glass container full of something yellow.”

Morris giggled.

The children had set up a folding table with some help from their parents and were sitting in folding chairs. A big sign had been taped to the front of the table and it read, “Lemonade, $1 per cup”

“Looks like they are selling lemonade,” said Morris. “You ever have lemonade?”

“Looks like the neighbours’ kids are setting something up,” Gary answered. “What are they doing?” “I don’t know. Looks like they have a big glass container full of something yellow.” Morris giggled. The children had set up a folding table with some help from their parents and were si...

"Cats may be known for their aloof charm and quiet companionship, but anyone who's shared a home with a feline knows they can sometimes turn into a tiny predator with unexpectedly sharp teeth. Biting in cats can range from playful nips to aggressive chomps, and while some level of gentle mouthing can be natural, persistent or painful biting is a behavior that should be addressed."

"Cats are natural-born hunters. Even the sleepiest house cat carries centuries of finely tuned instincts just beneath their soft, whiskered surface. One of their most underappreciated feline senses is their incredible sense of smell – which is 14 times stronger than the average human!"

"Spring is one of the best times of the year – the sun comes out, things warm up, and unfortunately for our feline friends, a whole wave of seasonal risks pop back up. The fresh air gets us yearning to go outside, and the same goes for our cats who have spent the winter inside. So how do you make sure your kitty stays safe this spring?
