slobbering cats

I find it interesting what people name their pets and how they selected a specific pet name. Mine are both pure black and litter mates. At first we were gravitating towards names that would fit black cats one of which was Amos and Andy just t o name one. They ended up with the names of JJ and Mojo. JJ was short for Jimmie Johnson (my husband is a NASCAR fan) and Mojo was named related to blues music, which we attend a blues festival every year in Main ...

No, I don't mean putting them in a sack with a brick and throwing them in a river... but how do you keep them from hanging around your home? My next door neighbor has started putting food out for strays and now there are 3 half grown kitten-cats that are hanging around not just her apartment, but mine too. Yesterday I sat down my groceries on my front step while I got my key out and they were nosing around my bags. Then when a few minutes later when I went to take out trash, they followed m ...

Hello all. Was wondering if anyone out there in MT land knows of an exotic shorthair cat breeder? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving!!!! ...

Usually my 3 cats come running when I give them treats. This morning 2 showed up, where is the other one? I have looked all through the house. Where in the world do kitties go when they just want to be alone, a kittie retreat? If they do not want to be found, usually that is what happens. I have looked in every nook and cranny, behind TVs, behind furniture. I know that kitty was just here this morning. He sits outside my bedroom door each morning until I appear. Now poof! ...

I never liked them but got this one when my mother died and I love this cat now. She goes out the doggie door and pretty much acts like one of the dogs. There's a stray cat that keeps coming over the fence and I finally figured out it was coming in during the night and eating all the treats and food left in the kitchen for my cat. Last night I heard mind screaming, got downstairs and the stray cat had attacked her. Mine hid for a long time and finally came out of hiding. She has some s ...

Over the years my cats have been on different dry and canned foods: Science Diet, expensive stuff from the vet that I can't recall the name of right now, etc. One of my babies has some allergies, resulting in sneezing and some colon issues. But overall they are healthy cats. A new Pet Club opened next door to the Wal-Mart, and I have been buying dry food there in large (30 lb. or so) bags to save some money. Plus they have a $5 off coupon on the back of the Fry' ...

Has anyone else noticed that ever since they invented "Windows" keyboards, your cat can screw up your computer in all sorts of strange and wonderful ways? In the old days, the worst thing that Rocky Rhodes could do by strolling across my keyboard was to reboot my computer, and that took some doing (stepping on control, alt, delete at the same time). Now, Rocky can make my screen disappear, mute my headphone, etc. because Windows keyboards have all these extra function keys. Heck, for all ...

Any pet lover got some advice for me? I got a boxer pup when she was 10 weeks old and we have cats. She never really paid much attention to the cats. Well, now all of a sudden at 7 months old, she seriously tries to KILL the cats! She attacks them and will not stop, I have to restrain her and hold her and she STILL tries to get to them. I love her and don't want to have to get rid of her, but the cats are my kids' cats and they love their cats as well. &nb ...

Ok, maybe not shaving my cat but here is the rundown. I have 4 cats, 2 with extremely long furry coats and they shed so much that I am almost drowning in fur. Just kidding about this but it is a lot that my hubby tells me to use the commercial vacuum we have to get it up. I did have a company that would shave the cats down about once a year but now they do not have groomers there any longer. Some places will shave but they require for your cats to have shots including rabies and from what I r ...

My ole guy is 17. He is fine during the day, but when I go to work at night, he cries and cries and seems so needy. I have 2 desks together, he sits on one at my left arm and keeps grabbing me so I cannot work, until he finally gets to sleep. I know cats are nocturnal, but I thought they were supposed to sleep something like 20 hrs a day, especially older ones. ...

Soon I will be working 3 jobs, and my 2 house kitties are already bored (they can't stand each other so don't play together, etc.). They already have a TON of toys (both interactive and not) as well as a tall cat tree and multiple scratching posts, but I need something else to help alleviate their boredom. Artificial aquarium? Videos of birds, fish, etc.? Your ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. ...

We've been taking care of a feral cat for 2 years. She finally trusts us enough that we can pet her. She surprised us with 4 kittens 9 weeks ago. They won't let us touch them yet, but they were getting closer to us, within inches, this past week. There are 4. My favorite is the deep dark gray runt. He/she is the only one we haven't been able to get near and is so timid. He/she wouldn't even play with the other kittens that much, just sit and watch.This morning when we went ou ...

Besides taking the vacuum cleaner and sucking these brats up in the cleaner, how can I do this. Every morning bright and early, around 6 or so, they stand outside my bedroom door and meow for their breakfast. I have tried sitting out food late of a night so maybe that will carry them over until I want to get up and it is not 6 in the morning. I do not start my work day until noon so I try to sleep until 8 or so because I watch TV so late of a night. The nights my husband is home there is no prob ...

We recently had new carpeting put in. We have 6 inside cats, none ever sprayed in the house until now, and now they all are. They just back up to a wall and/or a cabinet and let go. This is not a bladder infection problem, just an attitude problem from what I am reading. Has anyone had any luck in reversing this type of behavior? I am using "guaranteed" sprays to clean and discourage them but it is still happening. They do still use their litter boxes somewhat, but not as much as usual. Thanks ...

This is funny and wanted to share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TyXJ1sAQtaY ...

We have stray cats that come around our neighborhood and we've been feeding them. I know, I know, a mistake, but they were little kittens at the time mostly and so cute. Now that mating season is upon us, I think there are about 2 or 3 pregnant ones. I know I shouldn't have started this, but how do I stop? I don't know if any of the other neighbors feed them or not, and it will make me sick if I see them starving. What to do? Sometimes there are ...

I am an animal lover and am all for making them comfortable in the summer months, but please keep in mind that an animal's coat/fur PROTECTS them from the heat/sun. By shaving them to the skin, you are just setting them up to get even hotter outdoors and possibly burn their skin. Their coat also protects their internal body from shifts of temperature indoors or out. A pet groomer is NOT going to tell you this--they make a good chunk of money shaving hair off pets. If you don&# ...

Do you have an elderly kitty that tends to yowl a lot for no reason? My 14-year-old cat is happy, healthy, (been to vet not too long ago, also had a dental), and yet she some times yowls for what appears to be no reason. She has all sorts of different normal vocalizations, yet when she yowls she sounds distressed. But when I go to investigate, I'll find that she's: Talking to her water dish as she dips her paws into it. Talking to her blanket as she kneads it ...

I want to move 2000 miles and have 2 cats. Do not want to subject them to air travel. I know the vet can provide a sedative, but I don't know what to expect from it. Will they still be awake but groggy, will they (hopefully) sleep for 8 hours a day? If anyone has any experience with this, I would certainly appreciate input. Thanks in advance! ...

women hatin' on other women - no one wanting anyone to have more than they do, martyrdom to the max - "please, please let us work for nothing, and we will love it because we do not deserve anything good for ourselves." these posts seem more appropriate for high school. ...

We live in a neighborhood and a lot of cats come and go through our yard. For the past 4 years or so a neighbors cat has been a constant visitor. During the cold winter nights she would come over and sleep in the boxes with blankets and an outdoor pet heating pad. She also would eat here too when she was not at her own place. Actually all of our neighbors take care of all of the cats so that none ever go hungry or don't have a place to get out of the cold. So f ...

I came across this site (don't remember how, a link off of a link off of a link, etc). Anyway...thought these were adoreable pics of kids reading to cats in shelters while they wait to be adopted. I think it's a great program. The site itself I like. It's about books and there is a tab off to the right that you can sign up and get some books for free others for really cheap on the kindle or whatever type of reading device you might have. Hope you enjoy the site ...

want to put that right out front. I just bought some new furniture today, know the usual sticky tape, cutting their nails but if anyone has something that has worked well for them, would appreciate the advice. ...

This is BS! (CNN) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has a message for veterinarians and pet owners: If dogs or cats get sick after eating jerky pet treats, let us know. The agency says it's received reports of more than 3,600 dogs and 10 cats that got sick after eating jerky pet treats since 2007. Of those cases, the FDA says, more than 580 pets have died. "This is one of the most elusive and mysterious outbreaks we've encountered," said Bernadette Dunham, direc ...
