		<description><![CDATA[Last year&#8217;s Arizona Animal Fair was supposed to be the last, I think due to lack of sponsorship. So I was very surprised and pleased to learn that they will be returning this year, due to the efforts of Valley Animal Hospital and Purina Pro Plan! It will be at Reid Park this Saturday, March [...]]]></description>

They have an opportunity to buy hay at $3 off per bale, from a horse rescue which has just shipped in a truckload (and I mean a truckload) from California. If you would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cats like height. Cats like to claw. Cats like a good stretch. Cats like hiding, surprising and exploring. Cats like sleeping, especially in the sun and by windows, and curling up when they do so. In designing furniture with high cat appeal, I want each piece to include at least three of the things cat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hermitage has replaced the Humane Society as its provider of vet care for the shelter cats, who will now be going to Valley Animal Hospital.

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the instructions for home construction of cat furniture, and even a few of the commercial ones, use glue to attach carpet to the wood. I don&#8217;t know whether it&#8217;s cost (glue and staples are both cheap, but to use staples that are really going to work you need a staple gun, which everyone [...]]]></description>

Cat furniture typically has three types of exposed material for cats to claw &#8212; hardwood, carpet and sisal. The material needs to have real substance so the cat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a cat&#8217;s point of view, there are only two issues of interest when it comes to furniture: is it physically stable enough so I can get a good stretch when I grip it, and is it fun to claw. I&#8217;ve seen and built some furniture that was very attractive from a human standpoint (nice [...]]]></description>

The primary concern for a cat condo is preventing tipping, which means low center of gravity and a heavy base. A condo I make may be used [...]]]></description>

I started to get some at Bobbie Joe&#8217;s, it was an attractive pattern and I though the shortness of the carpet would make it easy to clean. But the [...]]]></description>
