a small area inside any enclosure for a pot of plants. Also, pet tents made by Sturdi Products and Kritter Kommunity facilitate more portable enclosures. Houlihan finds that, “In case of a
sudden change in weather, the cat can avoid heat stroke or a scary storm.” Then there’s the live entertainment fac- tor: “Cats love vertical space, so a cat tree or actual tree limb, properly an- chored, can let him have a better view of birds, lizards, toads, chipmunks and squirrels without harming them,” she says. “It’s like kitty television.”
Go for a Walk
A mesh-enclosed stroller allows a cat to ride in safety while the walker burns calories. In case of a sudden noise or loose dog, the cat can’t escape. Hou- lihan also recalls a patient called Uti (pronounced YOU-tee), that was prone to chewing electrical cords. “His own- ers now take him outside for a daily stroll; he’s no longer bored and has quit chewing.”
Adopted from a local shelter as a kitten, Makai also goes for accompa- nied walks. Due to heavy traffic near their Baltimore, Maryland, row home, Andrea Martin, a manager with Brand Public Relations, and her husband Nick, use a harness and leash to take her outside. “We often get the, ‘You’re taking your cat for a walk?’ look,” relates Martin, but that hasn’t stopped this adventurous team. “She likes tak- ing a break from being indoors,” she explains. Make sure the harness fit is tight enough so the cat can’t wiggle out of it. With proper planning, any kitty
can safely enjoy the great outdoors and the sun on its back.

Cloud Star Intro- duces Dynamo Dog Functional Treats

Dynamo Dog Functional Treats are formulated for a dog’s specific needs and infused with specially-selected vitamins, minerals, fruits, vegetables and herbs to help support joint function, digestive health, or skin and coat health. “After struggling to find a suitable
