About Us
So You Want to Know Something About Us? Hi. My name is Debra Garcia and I'm the author and editor of MyHealthyCat.com. I have a research team that helps me test the cat products I write about. They also teach me a lot about cat behavior. Their names are Shayla and Neko and they're both black domestic short hair cats. I adopted them from my local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They also keep me company while I work on this site. I adopted Shayla when she was about 8 months old. While I was visiting the SPCA, Shayla made me fall in love with her by putting her two little arms around my neck with a great big kitty hug. I just had to take her home. I adopted her shortly after I had to put down my older cat, Max (also a black domestic short hair). That was in November 1994. 
Neko was also adopted from my local SPCA. They said she was a "semi-feral" cat and not likely to be adopted. So, of course, I had to adopt her. And indeed, she was quite skittish and shy for a long while. But now, she’s adjusted quite well and sleeps in my bed next to my head. She's a regular cuddle-kitty. The veterinarians guessed that she was somewhere between 1 ½ to 3 ½ years old. That was in 2001 and she is still as playful as a kitten. Well, that's the short story about us. Why This Website? Besides being a cat lover (especially a black cat lover), I'm also a former professional consumer advocate. And although I'm no longer paid for it, I still care about safe products and responsible consumerism. I wanted to combine my love for cats with my personal philosophy and beliefs. A website seemed to be the best and least expensive way to do that. About This Website Thanks to Site Build It! and their step-by-step instructions, I was able to build this successful site from scratch. I'm now in the top 1% of all websites, according to alexa.com. I'm learning more and more every day about cat products and the Internet. As I learn new stuff, I try to add to and improve the information you find here.
