If you missed any of the stories featured on the Conscious Cat this week, here’s a recap: on Monday, I shared several websites that can help you identify whether your cat is in pain, on Tuesday, we featured a customizable cat tree, on Wednesday, I shared a Ruby memory, on Thursday, I featured adorable cat ornaments from KittyCat Art Studio, and on Friday, I reviewed the latest book in the Dalai Lama’s Cat series, Awaken the Kitten Within.
