I worked with CatAmazing.com to create an inexpensive and interactive toy for shelter cats that is inexpensive, easy to install, sanitize (and replace as needed) and that will never end up in the water bowl!

We've developed an enrichment toy for shelter cats in collaboration with the Animal Care Centers (ACC) of NYC – and we’re open-sourcing the design so you can implement it in your local shelter!Here’s the story –

I am very excited to announce that today my husband Thom and I published a children's book about cat behavior, Happy Comes Home available on Amazon! Thom's illustrations are fantastic, and we're very excited! If you have a young child in your life (Amazon suggests ages 4-12 and we targeted about age 8+/-) please consider buying a copy! Most importantly, if you get a copy PLEASE give a review!

SYNOPSIS:
Avery always wanted a cat and when they brought Happy the cat home from the shelter the family thought it would be the happiest day ever... but it wasn't. It was a cat-tastrophy! Happy clawed at their furniture, stole dinner off the table, and woke mom and dad up at 4 o'clock in the morning! The parents wanted to return Happy but Happy was Avery's best friend, so something had to be done! Enter a certified cat-sultant named Mr. Top Cat who came to their home to help Happy be a happy cat.

I'm presenting Decoding the Mysteries of Cats March 13 at 6:30 PM ET at the Worcester Public Library and they have gone viral with this fine-forgiveness program when you send in a photo of your cat....or any cat.

A program this month encourages library patrons in Worcester, Mass., who have lost or damaged books or other items to reactivate their accounts. All they need is a picture of a cat.
