Introducing the Lambkin Cat: this adorable short-legged cat is a result of breeding a Selkirk Rex and a Munchkin. Their beautiful coat needs extra care as is curly in nature. These cats are sweet and easy going and are great for any family including single family members. They are very docile and warm up to anyone and any other pet in the house as well. They do love to sleep and relax but have bursts of energy where they require space for playtime.

The Halloween Season may be over, but for many pets, this is the most dangerous time of year for them. There are many treats we have collected that are poisonous to our little friends. Below is a quick guide on how to keep our little friends safe after Halloween: - High sugar candy can cause severe gas and diarrhea. The sugar not only provides a great source of food for gut bacteria to indulge on, but it can also pull water into the colon and cause a bad case of diarrhea.... - Chocolate-Covered Raisins combine two potentially deadly ingredients in dogs and cats. Chocolate is toxic to pets and can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures. Raisins (and other grape products) can cause severe kidney failure. The two of these combined is the ultimate toxic nightmare for pets. If your pet eats any chocolate covered raisins this Halloween, take them to your veterinarian immediately for treatment. - Plastic and foil candy wrappers pose a health risk as they can cause an obstruction in the intestines and irritate the lining of the GI tract. Sometimes, pets can pass the wrappers without a problem, but it is best to keep all wrapped treats away from pets just in case. - Bite-size hard candy (such as Jolly Ranchers) has a delicious taste for dogs. These treats pose a major choking hazard for pets. Hard candy becomes slippery when mixed with saliva and it can be inhaled into the trachea (windpipe), causing a choking hazard. Be sure to keep these candies away from dogs and cats. - Sugar-Free Gum may contain Xylitol, a sugar substitute. Xylitol is perfectly safe in people, but it can be especially deadly if ingested by a dog. Xylitol causes a very severe drop in blood sugar that can happen within minutes after ingestion. Pets may become lethargic, unable to walk, and start having seizures. If they survive the initial symptoms, they often will have severe liver damage and potentially fatal liver failure. This is the most dangerous type of Halloween candy for pets.
