It is a quiet day in the Cat Household today.

The cats have been working up quite an appetite for rest as they gear down from their heavy summer list of activities:  cat naps, sunny sleeping, window watching, bird crying, insect stalking, and, of course finding the coolest (as in cold) place to sleep away the long afternoons.  The cooler nights and warm sunny days make for great fall naps and the Cat Household is no stranger to napping (surprise, surprise).  Here is Salty, enjoying a good end of summer nap, resting up for his next activity--Fall Sleeping; which always takes its toll on the unprepared.

With the onset of fall, more and more bugs will be coming into the house from the cold; but pesticides can be very toxic to pets of all types.  You can go to Amazon.com to find natural pesticides or use household items that you buy in bulk. Two ideas that really work--for ants use baking soda along your windows and doors,  and for fleas use cedar chips-buy both in bulk at BJ's Warehouse and save.  Planet Natural can give you a huge list of pest controlling household items.
