Now, I'm a sucker for kittens of all kinds, and this wee little precious is no exception. I don't want to ruin it for you, but do you remember Valentine the piglet or that cutie pie Chihuahua? This kitty joins their ranks . . . I think I'm in love!
Why hello there, smooshy face! Looks like Eva wanted to get a close-up look at your smushy, mushy goodness before taking you home! Jinxy (aka, the white fluffer, whose tail you see on Eva's lap) just got a new BFF yesterday when she picked out the new Pug puppy to be a pal for the other pooch. To see why I'm glad to see both pups along for this ride (and more adoro pictures), read more
If you have a cat, you know the litter box can be a royal pain to keep clean and smell free! Not only do you want to keep it from repelling your house guests, but it must appeal to your kitty as well. Now not all litters are created equal, so if you find that your cat isn't using his litter box, you may be using a litter that smells bad to him. I know, totally picky, but true!
Research shows that many cats prefer fine-grained, fragrance-free litters, and even a room deodorizer next to the litter box can be mistaken for a fragrant box and your cat could run the other way! For a few tips, plus my fave litter box furniture picks, just read more
While still reeling over the death of Sophie the news has recently come out that Oprah's BFF, Gayle King, is living in a penthouse that was purchased last January in the name of the recently departed spaniel. It wasn't previously known how Gayle had financed the palatial digs but, according to deed-transfer records released yesterday, a company called Sophie's Penthouse LLC bought this expensive and expansive $7.1 million full-floor condo with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, large living room/dining area, and a 768-square-foot wraparound terrace! Wow! The penthouse tops the 36-floor building at 207 E. 57th Street in NYC. With celebrities choosing to leave millions to their pets, I guess this is a case of the reverse as, after the pooch's death, the deed has been transferred to Gayle giving her (what appears to be) a $7 million gift from Sophie. What's your take?

Pet strollers can be a heavy subject for some folks – to stroller or not to stroller. But for me, it's pretty cut and dry - I think North would freak out if I tried to put him in this instead of walking him! With celebs making pet strollers more popular, it seems that I see them everywhere now! Although this may be great for older doggies that can't walk too far, or even kitties (since we know fresh air is good for them too), I think it might be best to walk Fido . . . since it's exercise after all! But, if you do have a pup that needs a stroller, this model from Snooty Pets ($190) can have your dog out and about with you, minus the leash. What do you think? Pet strollers: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
