This wonderful book, Think Like a Cat: How to Raise a Well-Adjusted Cat--Not a Sour Puss, is a sort of guide to raising and living with companion cats. I read this book years ago when we first added cats to our family and it helped us to understand the minds of our little furry companions.

Linked here is the Kindle e-book version of this popular book. The print version is 434 pages. This highly-rated book was first published in 2000.

The guide covers topics including understanding cat communication, training your cat, keeping your cat safe and healthy at home, and problem-solving. Our favorite chapter is subtitled "Yes, You Can Have a Cat and Nice Furniture Too".

Advent calendars are used to count down the days until Christmas. The calendar usually begins on the first of December and continues through to Christmas day. Often a chocolate or small gift is used to commemorate each day.

The supermarket chain Aldi offers a variety of popular calendars each year; to mark their release date, they have designated the first Wednesday of November (November 2, 2022) to be Advent Calendar Day. It's a great day to think about what advent calendar you might want to use a few weeks later as the countdown to Christmas gets underway.

Popular advent calendars offered by Aldi include their wine, cheese, and beer calendars. 

They will also offer a Cat Advent Calendar from their pet brand Pure Being, filled with treats for kitties.
