Do Tigers like catnip?

Have you ever wondered if big cats like tigers and lions like catnip? Well, wonder no more. The following video shows how kitties of all sizes love the green stuff so much they roll around in it, not too different from the typical house cat. Makes me wish there was something like this for humans. My only question is: what's wrong with Joseph?

Loving our pets can be expensive - feeding, bathing, toys, muscle relaxers, vicodin, alcohol... oh wait some of those are for me.

Click the links above to print the coupon for instore use or get the code for online use. If you prefer a different big box pet store I know that PetSmart accepts competitor coupons so print it out and take it in.

If your only interested in shopping online see the below information. You may want to click the above link fo rthe terms and conditions though.

Call for Regulation of the Tiger Trade

Like most people who saw The Hangover (against my original dismissal of the film as yet another stupid foray into idiocy rather than the absolute comic masterpiece it turned out to be), I found the tiger locked away in the hotel hilarious. How did it get there? What shenanigans could those four guys have possibly gotten into? Its very presence in the hotel alone was enough to cause hysterics.

10 Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Cat

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, and for good reason. There are many different benefits to be had when adopting a shelter cat; here are ten of them.

10. When you adopt a cat from a shelter, you are usually getting it from a much more humane place than if you do from a pet store. Pet stores often receive their animals from shady sources, where animals may be abused or over-bred. While people may reason that these animals may need to be adopted more than any others, continuing to purchase animals from these sources just continues the cycle of abuse and allows them to continue staying in business.

Help Generate Funds Through the Tiger Stamp

Wild tigers have dwindled down from 100,000 to less than 3,200 in less than 100 years. This is an incredible loss of species due to conflict with humans, loss of habitat, and of course, illegal poaching. In order to save this species from extinction—which is exactly where it is heading—the U.S. Senate has proposed introducing a new stamp to help fund integral conservation programs for the jungle cat.

This has to be one of the coolest ideas ever put to work for big cat conservation—and it’s definitely much cooler than those awful Elvis Presley stamps we had to bear years ago. With just a few extra cents every time we buy stamps, we could help protect tigers by funding efforts to stop poaching, educating the public about the tigers and how to protect them, and creating protected areas to give these animals—as well as other species—safe grounds to live on.
