     While www.animalnewswire.net covers all types of animals, if you're looking for something that REALLY will give you the most details on everything related to cats, visit lifewithcats.tv.That site offers fascinating videos. For example, a most recent one shows a cat playing with a koi fish in a pond. Lifewithcats.tv also is filled with many touching stories, but the main subject of cats is always part of them. Lifewithcats.tv is the feline offspring to the extremely popular and respected source for dog news and entertainment, Life With Dogs. Also, lifewithcats,tv promises "to provide the same informative, thought-provoking, and entertaining mix for cat lovers as our esteemed parent site does for the dog crowd, presented with our own feline perspective."

Lifewithcats.tv started in 2011. Since then, the site and its Facebook page "have quickly garnered a dedicated, friendly, passionate and diverse community of cat lovers, which continues to grow," the website stated.

Along with the videos, pages are devoted to submitted photos, health, behavior, and there also is a blog. Another unique feature is labeled "Profiles," and features some of the most inspirational cats you'll ever hear about and see. Profiles are written by Lifewithcats.tv Editor Karen Harrison Binette.

Do you believe that animal activists should face fines and jail for secretly videotaping at factory farms?

YES
