The sun-drenched Floridian city was seeing businessmen, engineers, and secretaries outnumber its beachgoers. Tourists were coming not just to enjoy a quiet day on the hot sand, but also to see the hot fires of rockets as they soared over the coast. Stand anywhere and you could gaze, slack-jawed at a Redstone, Atlas, or Titan rocket shooting skyward into space. Later, you might enjoy a show at the Starlite Palladium or the Samoa ... enjoy fresh seafood at the Satellite Motel... or line up alongside astronauts for the famous "secret recipe" Caesar Salad at Ramon's Rainbow Room atop the "Glass Bank." Cocoa Beach was booming, in more ways than one.
Decades later, in 2014, Ramon's was long gone, the bank was unused and its building was becoming an eyesore. Once officially known as The First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Cocoa, the Space Age design of the bank building gave it its nickname. Now, however, it was a serious hazard, with one lone resident living in the penthouse he'd added. Once he was gone and the Glass Bank slated for demolition, it was fenced off for safety.

The Cat Fancy Alphabet
\"The Cat Fancy Alphabet\" is a new feature in Cat Talk. It highlights various terms and aspects of the cat fancy, educating fanciers new and old about our hobby.
UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal
If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
Vision and Hearing Dysfunctions in Senior Cats
Just as people are challenged by having deficiencies with vision and hearing over time, so are senior cats. In senior cats, pet owners may notice their cats are no longer responding to them in the same way; however, it may be difficult to figure out.
Senior Cats and House Soiling
Why is my cat no longer using its litter box? Cat soiling in the house is one of the most talked about issues for pet owners.
Nutrition for Our Senior Cats
From the time they are born, our kittens receive a tremendous amount of care, with diet being at the core of their growth and development.

Alternative Arthritis Treatments for Cats
Just like humans, cats can experience arthritis. About 90% of cats over the age of 10 years experience osteoarthritis (OA) in at least one joint.1 It is a complex condition involving inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints and is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD). Cats with OA experience pain and inflammation in various joints that interfere with daily activities.
