with an audience full of cats, Samantha's not modeling, she's in hair and makeup. She brushes the Fur of the tall, skinny cat supermodels, leaving their coats shiny and soft. She curled their whiskers and put on their lipstick, making them gorgeous. Aside from all the glitz and glamour, cat modeling was a rough industry, hairball bulimia and serious cat nip addictions ruined lives. But, Samantha stayed away from it all, she enjoyed her job, and loved working with the cat supermodels. She lived in

Everybody needs a place to call home. This weekend Horseheads Brewing helped find homes for area animals. They held a pints for pets benefit to raise money for the Horseheads Animal Shelter. "We really want to get our dogs and cats exposed, because we are kind of out of the way and we are so small that people don't really know about us. Most of the time you hear about the Elmira shelters and not really Horseheads. Like Chris here, he's been here for a year and we keep them as long as we can

the back porch, reminiscing, he smiled, remembering Mary Jenkins was a terrific lady even in her late nineties with snow-white hair, she dressed as if she was a model and looked innocent as an angel. She loved and cared for animals and always had a cat lying on her lap while sitting on the front porch waving to everyone who passed by her house. When Mrs. Jenkins saw him, she smiled, “nice seeing you." He thought she did it because she was old and alone. Later, he discovered another reason for her

seen pictures of cats that I wasn’t scared of or have any opinion about it. But in third grade, I discovered my fear of cats while watching a cartoon. I saw that cats could serenade people to get what they want from them. I fear cats because their eyes glowed in the dark. The first time I saw a cat glow in the dark, I got terrified because I didn’t understand why a living creature would illuminate in the dark and I hated the animal. I can relate this fear with a popular view of cats in my culture.

The summer of 2012 my parents decided to move to Europe. That being said my brother and I started packing our bags. Later in the summer we arrived in Velingrad, Bulgaria, where I would spend the next year of my life, at my grandparent's house. I was excited to see my family again, especially my cousin, Zdravko. Zdravko will do anything to get someone's attention, even if that includes hurting them. One Saturday morning I was picking apples from the backyard. When I heard a meow coming from the trash

Reproduction Female cats, called queens, have to be a certain age before they can mate with male cats, called toms. A queen at the age of four months old can have a litter, or kits.

The memories A good friendship will hold strong throughout a lifetime. In most cases however, one won’t make quite as long as the other. Some pets steal your heart, but ferrets also steal your socks. I played with Sneaky, who is a ferret, most every day when I was younger, and she was quite the animal. If I could see anyone again, it would be Sneaky. Christmas morning is a great time for everyone, especially the kids who finally get to see their presents. Not only did my siblings and myself get

Zoe Alexandra Heintz, Also known as Alex, follows the beat of her own drum. Zoe, in Greek in short means life, (ζωή, ῆς, ἡ). Translated more thoroughly however, means life, both of physical (present) and of spiritual (particularly future) existence.
