The Conscious Cat reached a milestone today: this is our 1000th post!
When I started this site three and a half years ago, I envisioned a rapidly growing site, but the actual growth has exceeded even my wildest dreams. In three years, we have 1000 posts, almost 27,000 comments, 7400 Facebook fans, and 1300 RSS and e-mail subscribers. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story.
I never could have envisioned the community of cat lovers this site created, both here, and on our Facebook page. None of this would be possible without you, our readers. I appreciate each and every one of you for reading, commenting, and sharing every day!
Conscious Cat readers are passionate about cats, and they’re passionate about providing the best possible life for their cats. It’s a privilege for me to be able to bring you all the latest information on cat health, nutrition and lifestyle. There’s nothing more gratifying for me than knowing that because of something I wrote, a cat’s life has been changed for the better.
Con-cat-ulations! Here’s to a thousand more, including a lot of award winners.
Thanks, Bernadette!
Congratulations! What a wonderful body of work – and we so enjoy your posts.
Thanks, Lisa and kitties!
Wow – congrats on a reaching a huge milestone! I’ll have a glass of wine in your honor….ok, maybe two glasses!
Hugs from me and the kitties,
Chris
Thanks, Chris! I hope you had that extra glass!
Congrats on this blog’s success Ingrid. You, Ruby, Allegra and all your beloved cats make this blog possible. I enjoy reading every day too and consider your blog to be the best of all cat blogs. I also love seeing videos of Allegra and Ruby and also hearing what they are doing. Your cats, just like mine, give me a laugh every day.
Thank you for your kind words, Cynthia!
Congratulations! OH I WILL BE POSTING THIS – “The Truth About Dry Cat Food won a Petlitzer Prize last year. I’m passionate about feline nutrition, and a species appropriate diet of either grain-free canned or raw food, and I love that this post continues to educate cat guardians on why cats should not eat dry food long after I first wrote it.” in my forum! Had someone that said they were a pet nutritionist saying that we were all fools for thinking that dry food was bad for kitties! http://www.floppycats.com/forum/wet-food
Thanks, Jenny, and thanks for sharing!

Well little chitties (kitty children) you sure have given you mum a lot to write about. I look forward to reading her next 1,000 posts. PS little ones-listen to mum she knows what she is talking about.
Thanks, Esme and chitties!
Congratulations! What a wonderful blog. I’m so glad I found you. Your piece about grief really hit home. I lost my soul mate cat, Monet, in a tragic way in June 2009. The best card I received was from a friend who wrote, “I don’t know what to say. Maybe I can just cry with you.”
Thanks, Anjali! I’m glad I found your books! I’m sorry about Monet – there’s just nothing that prepares us for losing these special cats. I love the card your friend sent.
Concatulations!
Purrs to Allegra and Ruby!
Thanks, Texas!
