         <link>http://cats.about.com/od/catpictures/ig/2009-Cat-Picture-of-the-Week/Dagney.htm</link>
         <description><![CDATA[Every week this site honors a Cat Picture of the Week, which is posted on the main page each week as well as in this gallery. This gallery contains Cat Pictures of the Week for the year 2009, each chosen from cat pictures submitted for the many different picture albums on this site. I do not accept photos submitted directly for &quot;Cat of the Week&quot; pages. My criteria, equally weighted, is on the beauty of the cat, quality of the photograph, and the care with which the cat is described. ]]></description>

Take tiny steps, first by getting your cat accustomed to his carrier. Later, a giant leap, such as a trip across the country in a car, or a plane trip with your cat, will go much easier for both of you, and make it something to look forward to, rather than an experience to fear.]]></description>
