Kitty Bytes - March 2012

Welcome to the March 2012 edition of our latest site news for TheCatSite.com!

First, allow me to apologize to those of you who may not have received last month's copy of Kitty Bytes. I'm afraid we had some technical issues, so some subscribers may have missed out on their copy. If you did not receive your copy, you can click here to view February's Kitty Bytes. Fingers and toes crossed that everyone gets this month's edition!

On a very different note, we lost a special part of TheCatSite recently with the passing of Moderator and long-time member Fran/rapunzel47. Many of you came to know Fran and appreciate her online presence, and we urge you to visit Fran's Tribute Thread here.

What's Up for March?

We're taking an early look at spring this March, bringing forward the issue of cat flaps or doors and where they should be leading out to.

On a different note, in honor of Professional Pet Sitting week, pet sitting is our second theme for this month. Take a minute to review our articles on this topic here -
A Pet Owner's Guide to Pet Sitting
So You Want to Be a Cat Sitter.

More about our themes for March, in this month's opening blog post: March is Here - Let's Go Outside.

New Articles on the Site

The Cat Flap or Door

Feline Acne

Sad to say, cats can get acne just like a teenager. At least for cats, it's not on date night. If you see black spots on your cat's chin or lips (blackheads), what should you do?
