1) Cats are strictly solitary animals.

2) Cats have a unique grooming behavior called "allogrooming" where they groom each other.

3) Cats have a highly developed sense of taste, with a preference for sweet flavors.

4) Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they require a diet primarily of meat.

5) Cats have a specialized muscle that allows them to rotate their ears 180 degrees.

6) Calico cats are always female.

7) Cats are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk.

Why is the rest of the world so much more animal friendly/accepting than the US?

In Thailand’s city malls, a quiet gesture now supports the country’s many stray animals—free pet food corners discreetly placed near entrances and side corridors, where bowls of kibble and water wait for cats and dogs that wander close. Managed by mall staff and local volunteers, these corners provide small but consistent nourishment for animals that often go unnoticed in urban spaces.

The setups are simple: raised trays with dry food, clean water containers, and sometimes soft mats for brief rest. Tucked beside parking areas, loading zones, or shaded walls, the corners are carefully chosen for safety—far from foot traffic yet easy for animals to reach. Signs are subtle, often with just a paw print symbol or a message in Thai reminding visitors not to disturb the animals.

Mall workers refill the trays daily, and some stores quietly donate pet food as part of their routine. Security guards monitor the spots and often greet familiar furry visitors, creating a calm, respectful environment. On cooler days, small fabric patches or cardboard shelters are added beside the bowls, offering comfort without fanfare.

These corners do more than feed—they weave animals into the daily rhythm of the city without fuss. Shoppers pass by, some pause to refill a bowl, others drop off extra biscuits or offer a soft word. In the heart of busy malls, Thailand has found space for compassion—gently and consistently delivered.

Thank you to ALL who served-human, canine and equine. Freedom is NOT free.

So very true.

This should be self explanatory, common practice and taught to children in schools.

So true!

Kindness to animals reflects the best of who we are. We may not all have the means to rescue, adopt, or volunteer—but we all have the power to be gentle, to protect, and to never harm. Compassion doesn’t require wealth—it simply requires heart.

Every act of care—offering water to a stray, reporting abuse, choosing cruelty-free products—ripples into something larger. It nurtures a world where empathy becomes instinct, not exception. That’s where true wellness begins: when all living beings are treated with respect.

Let’s make kindness our daily habit. Because when we care for animals, we heal something within ourselves too. 🌎💚

A HUGE "thank you" to the Gila River Indian Community for the very generous grant we just received. We couldn't do what we do without the support of those like you!

Please help if you can. Great organization!

Cody's Friends needs your help now! Federal agencies are coming to Cody's Friends for pet food to give to their workers who are no longer receiving a paycheck due to the Shutdown. We gave out 3,000+ pounds of pet food to one agency this morning. (pictured below) On top of our weekly pet food distributions, and the pet food we need for the Holiday community meals, we now need even more pet food to help federal workers feed their hungry pets during the shutdown. During the 2019 shutdown we gave out over 25,000 pounds of pet food. We truly need your help! There are 3 ways to give. www.codysfriends.org
1. Donate under this post.
2. Give a gift on our website or leave pet food in one of our donation station locations listed on our website.
3. Send a check to:

🐾🎉 Happy National Cat Day! 🎉🐾

Did you know the average cat lives 12–16 years — and with great care, some even reach their 20s! 😻Regular annual wellness checks help your feline friend stay healthy, catch issues early, and keep those purrs going strong for years to come. 🩺💖Give your cat some extra cuddles (if they allow it 😉) — they’ve earned it!
