    Life size blue whale in your web browser!

    Sometimes the image tiles will load slowly if a lot of people are accessing the webpage, but it's worth it. I like to set my browser window to fullscreen/kiosk mode and turn off the room lights to give it even more of an underwater feel. Enjoy!

    Pregnancy on her first period

    Can you contact local rescue groups to see if someone has a nursing mama who can take your little ones? Your veterinarian might also be able to help. Meanwhile, keep the baby kittens warm - it sounds like you have a nesting box set up for them. If mama kitty isn't snuggling with them, use a...

    Which SLR?

    how much do i feed my kittens?

    Most kittens will do OK with free-feeding on a good dry food supplemented with canned food once a day. Their normal instincts would stop them from overeating. While most cats do not have overeating issues, it's good to keep on eye on your kittens just in case they turn out to be among the...

    Which cat litter?

    Thanks, laureen227 - it's very touching that your signature is a tribute to the life of Mouse - s/he must have been a very special cat.
