A friend of mine was telling me the other day how she loves her plastic cutting boards because they are so much more sanitary and easier to maintain. We were in my kitchen when she asked me why I only had wooden cutting boards. “What’s the advantage to wood?” she asked. “Well, I said, I can give you 5 good reasons I use wooden cutting boards exclusively:

Aesthetics

A well made end grain cutting board adds a beauty to your kitchen that a plastic boards never can. I keep my large maple end grain board out on the counter all of the time, not only for convenience, but because I like to see the beauty of the natural grain. Everyone who comes into my kitchen says “Nice cutting board” without fail. And if you want something more unique than a plain wood board, they come in variety of colors, such as, white, wood or black. A black wood board would really stand out in a kitchen as well, don’t you think? Plastic boards get used and put away immediately. Who wants to looks at some stained, scarred piece of plastic?

Wood Cutting Boards Are More Sanitary

That’s right. Believe it or not, wooden boards are more sanitary than plastic. The reason is that a wooden board will allow bacteria to be absorbed into the wood not allowing contact with what’s on the surface. A plastic board is non-porous so the bacteria just stay on the surface and multiply until cleaned off. This is especially true of older plastic boards that have lots of knife marks which act as hiding places for bacteria.

Wood Is Easier On Your Knives

Plastic is hard and will dull your knives much faster than a wooden board. If you have an end grain cutting board, when you strike your knife on the surface the wood fibers actually separate and close up again. This causes less stress on both the board and your knife.

Wooden Boards Last Longer

A well maintained wooden cutting board can last for decades, even after heavy use. If you find that your wooden cutting board is looking a little worn, you can simply sand it down a little, and it will look brand new. (Don’t try this with a plastic board!)

Wood Is The Greener Choice

Wooden boards are often made from off cuts of a milling operation. This means they are essentially being made from a waste product and being put to good use. Because wood boards last longer than plastic, by using a wood board you are keeping a petroleum product out of the waste stream. And I don’t know about you, but I would rather ingest a small amount of wood fiber than a piece of plastic any day.

Let’s not forget that people have been using wooden cutting boards for hundreds of years, and they have worked just fine. Why replace them with an inferior material?

It’s time to choose a name for your new cat. The naming process can be tricky, but it’s important to choose a name that fits your pet.

Whether your cat is a boy or a girl, you’ll need to consider these factors:

The gender of the name. Some names are gender neutral, while others are more suitable for one gender than the other. For example, you would probably call a male kitten “Tom” or “Harry,” but you would never call an adult female cat “Henry.”

The personality of your pet. If your cat is shy and reserved, you might want to avoid names that are too flashy or attention-grabbing. On the other hand, if your cat is energetic and playful, you might want to go in that direction with your choice of name.

The sound of the name. Does it have an appealing ring to it? Will it be easy for others to pronounce? Will it sound good when spoken by other people?

Try Greek Cat Names

Greek names are a great choice for your cat, especially if you want to pay tribute to your heritage. Greek names for cats can be both masculine and feminine, so it’s easy to find one that fits your kitty’s personality.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some popular Greek names for cats:

Achilles: This name means “he who embodies the grief of the people” and is perfect for a cat who loves to eat.

Adonis: This name means “flawless” and would be an appropriate name for a cat with a beautiful coat of fur.

Aesop: If your cat is wise beyond its years, this might be a good choice for your pet’s name.

Agamemnon: This name means “very much loved” and would be an appropriate name for an affectionate cat.

Ajax: This name means “shining” and would make an excellent choice for a pet who likes to sunbathe in the window all day long!

Apollo: If your cat enjoys being bathed and is a purrfect companion, this would be a great name for him.

Artemis: This name means “goddess of the hunt” and would make an excellent choice for a pet who loves to play fetch or hunt mice in the house.
