Check out these two adorable balls of energy! 🐾

JJ and Peek A Boo had a blast chasing a Cat Charmer during their playroom time at The Cat Connection. These boys are always ready to play, explore, and keep us entertained. Getting them to slow down long enough for a photo? That’s another story.

We loved having these sweet, playful brothers stay with us, and we’re so happy their family chose The Cat Connection to care for them while they were away. Thank you for trusting us with your boys!

Here’s another one of Peek A Boo because… how could we not share that face? That expression completely stole the show for me. Peek A Boo definitely knows how to work the camera when he chooses to sit still!

He’s been enjoying the cat tree in his private room, where he can climb, stretch, relax, and keep an eye on everything around him. Looking good, Gus!

We had to share one more house panther before National Black Cat Appreciation Day comes to an end!

Meet Peek A Boo, one of the adorable black kitties currently boarding at The Cat Connection. This super affectionate, active kitten has plenty of personality—and energy to spare!

Peek A Boo and his brother, Jake Jr., have kept our boarding staff thoroughly entertained with their playful antics during their stay. There’s certainly never a dull moment when these two are around!

Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Today, August 17, is all about celebrating those sleek, mysterious, slightly mischievous mini panthers we adore.

Black cats have spent far too many years getting a bad rap thanks to old superstitions. Anyone fortunate enough to be owned by a black cat knows the truth: they’re not bad luck—they’re a blessing wrapped in black fur, complete with plenty of love, personality, and just the right amount of cattitude.

Fun fact: The Cat Fanciers’ Association recognizes 22 breeds that can have solid black coats. Of course, your black beauty doesn’t need a pedigree to know they’re royalty.

Celebrate your little house panther today at The Cat Connection:

🐾 Pick up a new toy, treat, collar, or other surprise from our retail store.
✂️ Schedule a grooming appointment so that gorgeous black coat can look its shiny, magnificent best.
🧳 Planning a trip? Let your kitty vacation with our boarding team—a group of ladies who absolutely adore black cats... and, admittedly, pretty much every feline who walks through our doors.

And most importantly, show off those black cats! Drop a photo in the comments or tag us in your pictures. Let’s fill our feeds with beautiful black kitties and remind the world just how magical they really are.

Happy National Ice Cream Day!

Ice cream may be a favorite summer treat for humans—and your cat may be certain they deserve a taste—but it is best to keep your dessert out of their paws. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant, so dairy products may cause an upset stomach, gas, vomiting, or diarrhea. Ice cream is also high in sugar and fat, and certain flavors may contain ingredients that are unsafe for cats.

Want to include your kitty in the celebration? Offer a small serving of goat-milk whipped cream made specifically for pets, such as Goat Whip from Bones & Co. It makes a fun occasional treat, but even cat-friendly goodies should be served in moderation.

At The Cat Connection, your cat’s comfort and well-being are always our priority. Looking for a cat-friendly alternative to ice cream? Check out our treats online or stop by the store to see what goodies we have available to distract your kitty from your summer dessert!

Enjoy your ice cream, give your kitty a safer treat, and do not fall for the adorable “I have never been fed” face. They have been rehearsing it all year.
