For all things feline there is Cat Connection a one-stop shop for treats, food, supplies, and toys, among other items.
Located at 14233 Inwood Road in Dallas, TX, the store also offers grooming services and education. Overnight stays are also available for grooming. Services for grooming include a gentle face washing, nail trim, and mini-massage among other features. De-fleaing is also available.

Boarding includes a cat playroom, gourmet food and treats, music and cat videos, human interaction, and loving attention from cat owners and lovers. There are extended stay and multiple cat discounts.

Cat Connection also has a pet adoption program and you can read about available cats on their website at catconnection.com. Shots must be current at least two weeks before any grooming or boarding.

According to the website thousands of cats become homeless each year when their owners give them up due to allergies. Staff says if you or a member of your family has allergy problems the cause may be the cat but there are things you can do. There are many things you come in contact with that also can be the source of the problem. Cat Connection says that once you determine the cat is the cause and you are willing to put forth some effort to possibly relieve the problem, you both might be able to live under the same roof without severe allergy problems.

Solving the problem depends on the severity and sensitivity of the allergic person. One or a combination of the following may significantly help with allergy problems: allergic remedies, allergizing your home, and pet hyposensitization, shedding solutions, or prescription drugs. If you or a member of your family develop allergy symptoms, consult a reputable allergist, says Cat Connection.

If you can minimize the non-cat allergens in the air you breathe and control the cat-oriented allergens, your body may be able to tolerate the presence of a cat. Emphasis should be placed on getting rid of allergens in the bedroom, the place where adults spend approximately one-third of their time and children half of their time.

Use air-conditioning and a humidifier in the appropriate seasons, staff recommends.

If possible invest in large commercial-size air purifier because room-size units are usually not adequate. Clean up the dander that has accumulated all over the house by vacuuming thoroughly. The more washable surfaces in the home, the better, e.g. wood or linoleum floors, furniture with simple lines, and Venetian blinds that wipe clean are better than carpets, upholstered, and ornate furniture, and draperies that collect dust. Special non-allergenic pillows are available.

Money To The Wind

By Terri Rimmer Ronnie used to pay for everything with plastic, get a high off of his weekends in Shreveport, and stroll through life without a care in the world – or so it seemed. Today he has been unemployed for months, is trying to get on disability, and has to sell junk he finds just to put gas in his car. “Most of my money I lost gambling,” he told his friend Elaine recently to which she gasped. Not most of his money – all of it. When one woman dated him briefly she thought he was rich the way he flashed his credit cards around all the time, paying for everything at expensive restaurants, movies; etc. Until she saw his house and how it was falling apart at the seams. “I should be ashamed of myself living like this,” he said and she silently agreed though she knew he was in the throes of a gambling addiction that he was in denial about. Gone are the days when Ronnie would travel to the casinos out of town to gamble and come back a lot of times with a lot of money, excited to the co
