Flea baths today! Toofus (black kitty) and Hercules needed to get rid of those pesky fleas and they both did great considering they're young boys and this is their first time being groomed! Hercules was pretty happy to see them gone and was already purring when he was finished.
FYI, I only do flea baths on Mondays at my wife's dog salon, Grooming by Tanya. Message or call to schedule your cats!

Happy Caturday!
I'm starting this beautiful day off with Fin! He's a regular and today he had some sticky mats so he had a Lion Cut. He really is the best boy! Love him!

You don’t have to be a superstitious person to know that “black cats are a symbol of bad luck”. Black cats have been declared to be evil omens as far back as the 13th Century, which many historians attribute to medieval leaders at the time trying to execute greater authority. The superstition that black cats can bring about bad things persists in modern times, but of course it's just a myth and is in no way scientifically true.

What is true, however, is that this widespread belief has come at a cost. One 2020 study of 8,000 cats in the United States found that black cats experienced both the highest rates of euthanasia and the lowest rates of adoption out of all cat coat colors. These cats may make for fun and beloved Halloween mascots, but there's still a lack in pet ownership when it comes to their needing homes.

Black Cat Awareness Month seeks to remedy this by bringing attention to the difficulties black cats face. The entire month of October is a time to promote black cat adoptions that will begin November 1st and break down the misunderstandings that plague these wonderful felines.

Come November 1st, be ready to fall in love with a black cat, or many black cats. 😉 and adopt your heart out.

It’s quite comforting to know that even in the 1890s, one cat was not enough…

By the 1890s in Victorian Britain, cats had largely transitioned from being seen as creatures of superstition to becoming respectable household pets. While they still carried an air of mystery and were often linked with femininity and domesticity, cats were increasingly valued for their elegance, cleanliness, and companionship.

Queen Victoria’s fondness for cats helped make them fashionable, and the rise of organized cat shows and breeding (particularly of Persians and Siamese) further elevated their status.

Artists and writers such as Louis Wain and Lewis Carroll popularized cats as whimsical, charming figures in culture, softening old associations with witchcraft. At the same time, many cats retained their traditional role as mousers in homes, shops, and on ships.

Biscuits had some mats so I gave him a Lion Cut. He was very inquisitive about the grooming process, but he did great!
