Hope you all like Mango's Abyssinian Digest. There are two prior editions (use the "Digest" button from the main menu on It's Mango Madness!). We welcome suggestions for fun cat articles. Alice and Inga were both kind enough to submit interesting material that everyone could enjoy - not just people owned by Abys.

For the Winter edition we are planning an article about giving your kitty a bath (with pictures!) and a brief article about the PAWS/LA (Pets Are Wonderful Support) pet art auction held last Sunday. Three art pieces featuring Mango, Bubbles or Peaches raised $1,295 for the charity. PAWS provides daily pet care at no cost for people with terminal or crippling illnesses so that these people can keep their pets until the end. PAWS also provides placement for the animals when it becomes necessary. Check out the art that was auctioned at the PAWS/LA website Click on "Browse Art".

On the subject of shedding, have any of you tried the Zoom Groom by Kong Cat? Bubbles loves being groomed with it and it removes an amazing amount of loose hair from her. Mango took a while to warm up to it but now it's part of his regular grooming - along with weekly teeth brushing and nail clipping.
