National Cat Care Month

April is National Cat Care Month. Who knew?

On April 14, Martha Stewart devoted part of her daily television show to sharing her tips for cat lovers (you can watch the entire episode–or selected segments–at MarthaStewart.com).

Jo Sullivan, ASPCA senior vice president, joined Martha and shared some tips for keeping your indoor cat happy and entertained. It’s also birthing season right now, so if you’re looking for a new cat to love, visit your local animal shelter and find one!

This year, though, I’m afraid cats have been upstaged a little by dogs. Portuguese water dogs to be exact. With Bo, the First Dog joining President Obama’s family recently, America is fascinated by him and dogs in general. If you recall, the Obama’s needed to select a hypoallergenic breed—and they were in the market for adoption. Good on them.

But this doesn’t mean you can’t lavish your cat with love—and a bit more attention—during National Cat Care Month. Or anytime.
