Cat Owners Share How They Give Their Cats Special Treatment

"Rigby is the first pet my fiancé and I have ever owned as adults, and he has quickly become a major part of our family. We got him at the SF SPCA last year, and since then, we've tried every toy in the book. We've gotten him fluffy things, shiny things, noisy things, but his favorite things are the tasty ones. He'll follow us from room to room for a snack, which might account for his, ahem, extra weight." — Maggie Pehanick, editor, Entertainment

"Shasta is a big couch or bed lounger during the day and night. I like to leave little treats on all her favorite hangouts around the house, which gets her up and moving around especially now that she's on the older side of her cat life. Every place we've lived with Shasta, and there have been many, I always set up a special spot for her cat food. I got this black-and-white postcard of a cat looking out a window that's always been next to her bowl. It's probably silly, but I like to think she's enjoying the artwork while having her meal." — Sarah Lipoff, native editor
