“Nite nite all animal lovers 🐾💗🐾 Sweet dreams everyone 😍😴💤😘”

It can sometimes seem like the bigger the dog, the more love it has to give its owner and the world. And while we totally love our smaller canine companions, the gigantic Great Danes are a sight to behold. Friendly, social, and charming, these floppy-eared loveable dogs are considered by some to be the perfect match for families.

Do animals have souls? Some of our greatest thinkers—Aristotle, Plato, Thomas Aquinas—and countless animal lovers have been obsessed with this question for thousands of years. Now New York...

The best book I've read about animals is sure to be Dewey by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter. The book is about a cat who is abandoned and found by a librarian. The cat becomes an icon in the library but develops a unusual and bad habit. I think the book really connects with you as an animal lover as you can really experience Dewey's emotional growth very young age to death.—Sarah S.

Welcome to Day 3 of the 2017 CAT LOVERS HOP!!! If you have a project to linkup, please go to the Main Hop Page (Please use #CatLoversHop2017 on social media.) Also, please check out my 2017 Cat Lovers Hop Guidelines and FAQs Hi, Friends..... I have a Kitty Update to share with you today!! If any of you saw my Kitty Roll Call Daily Game on Day 1, you might remember that I have several kitties that are missing. My neighbor in the old house where we used to live (about 1/2 mile away) called me Tuesday morning and said he caught a black cat in a live trap he set for raccoons. I had asked him a few weeks ago to be on the lookout for our Jetta. I figured this black cat was probably part-time tom, Big Bad Black, but it was our dear sweet Jetta, instead!! So thrilled. We went over and brought her back home over here. I hope she will stay. While we were over there, I called and called hoping that Judith might be there, too, but didn't see her. On our way back down the lane, I saw our Charlotte who lives at the next house down from our old house. She never successfully made the move over here with us (though we tried innumerable times!) She is littermates with Jetta....and I think they were born in 2003 or 2004...so they are at least 13. (Which is way too old to be traipsing across coyote land to the old house!) They are the younger sisters to my sweet Aliyah that I lost last year. (When Jetta heard us calling while still in the trap, she started yowling and yowling...it sounded so much like Aliyah that I knew before we got to her that it must be our Jet-Girl!) Although I knew Char-Baby had settled in at a home where she felt safe and loved (and didn't have so many cats!!), I wasn't sure she was still alive. I was sooooooo glad to see her!! She must have recognized our voices, as we were talking to Jet-Girl and calling for Judith, and so she had to come out to see what was going on. <3 <3 <3 Just had to share my good news with you all!!! Day 3 already....time is really flying! Are you enjoying the hop as much as I am?? As always, everyone is so enthusiastic about their cats! It is a joy to read your comments and blog posts...and to see all the projects getting linked up. Remember that each day I will be posting some fun things to see and do and win! A few of our sponsors will be in the spotlight each day. I will feature the prizes they are offering and cards made with those products.

One of the tails of the string is left long for kitty to play with. :) Ike's "Cat in the Box" digital image is the one you can enter to win by playing today's Daily Game. I teamed up the image with one of the sentiments from the Cat's Life stamp set featured above in Kellie Stamps Sponsor Spotlight. Day 3 Game: Tell us about a close call one of your cats had, an incident that could have ended in tragedy, but turned out okay in the end. I'll start..... We used to have a dog named Belle who was an exuberant bundle of energy and liked nothing better than to run around and get the cats all upset. One time she chased one of our kitties, named Roza, under the car before we were ready to go somewhere. It had been a half hour or so, and it didn't occur to us that Roza was under the hood where all the belts and such pose a terrible hazard when the engine is started. We started the engine and heard an odd thump and bump. My heart stopped. In my mind, I put two and two together and expected to find a unspeakable horror under the hood. Surprisingly, there was some gray fur, but no blood and no Roza. Later on we found her. One of the car belts had stripped the fur off one side of her down to the skin, but she was unscathed otherwise. WHEW!! I still shudder to think what could have happened. Since then, we refer to that incident as "Roza's Close Shave". This is how to play the game to be eligible for the prize drawing: 1. Leave a comment telling us about a close call for one of your kitties...or another kitty you know. 2. After you finish your comment, fill out your name in the link up below. This doesn't have any thumbnails so no photo needed! You don't even need a blog!!! This is for everyone!!! I will draw the random winner from the link up, so don't forget to do that part if you want to be eligible! NEW THIS YEAR: The Daily Game link ups will be open the entire duration of the Hop, including the extra day for comments. Entries need to be in by 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight, Sunday Oct. 29, 2017 to be eligible for the daily prize. So you have more than just today to comment and link up. I realize that not everyone has access to a printer or likes to use digis, so I am still keeping the link up gadget to make sure the digi prizes go to winners who can use them. But I am hoping EVERYONE will participate in answering the questions whether they are putting their name in for the prize or not. Okay, now it is your turn!! REMEMBER: Link your cat-themed projects (please use #CatLoversHop2017 on social media) over on the Main Hop Page. This link-up below is just to enter the drawing for the Daily Game after you have made your Kitty Close Call comment. Thanks!!! Thank you sooooooooooo much for being a part of the 2017 Cat Lovers Hop. I am having a great time and I hope you are, too!!! Thank you for all your sweet and kind comments. I love putting on this Hop!! <3 Janis

Calico cats are some of the coolest cats there are. It's not just their beautiful, eye-catching colors that make them pretty calicool. (Okay, even I cringed at that pun.) Their “cool cat” stat is backed by some interesting science. Source To get down to brass tacks, “calico” is not a breed of cat. Calico actually refers to a cat’s coat color and fur pattern. It’s most commonly a tri-color mix of orange, black and white, but variations of these basic colors can also present, such as cream, reddish brown, blue-black or even gray. Calico colors can present in any breed of domestic cat, long hair or short: Japanese Bobtail, Manx, Persian, Turkish Angora and American Shorthair to name a few. Now to the cool stuff. Almost all calico cats are female. Calicos are a weird wonder of nature, genetically speaking. No worries, I won’t be dragging out the Punnett squares and overhead projector. (Boy, do I feel old.) Here are the basics: A cat needs two X chromosomes to present with the tri-color calico pattern. If a cat has an XX pair of chromosomes, it will be female. Male cats have an XY chromosome pair, so they can rarely be Calicos. One of the more famous calico ladies is Honorable Eternal Stationmaster Tama who saved the Kishi Station in Wakayama, Japan, from closing. Another cute calico lady is Pudge, whose
