Kitty Bytes - April 2013
April is a stressful month at TheCatSite.com. Kitten Season is upon us, and we struggle to balance welcoming new members whose cats are pregnant by choice with our frustration over more unwanted kittens coming into the world. If your cat is not yet spayed, please take a minute to read my personal words here.
Speaking of stress, it is actually the main theme this month. We're talking about stress and anxiety in cats, of course. Please browse through our new additions detailed below and remember to check the site frequently because more articles are coming.
