Regardless of one's opinion of PETA, I think we should redirect our attention to the horrors that has been going on at Caboodle Ranch for years.  There have been complaints lodged against Caboodle by animal lovers who visited the place.  The "sanctuary" was not shut down based solely on PETA's...

It might be that Innova is too rich for your kitten. I haven't purchased Innova since the buyout, so it might be the ingredient change. I adopted my cat at 5 months and I kept him on kitten food until after he turned 9 months. He's now 10y/o and doing well.

That's odd. I've never seen a coupon that required the customer to mail it in. If the directive was printed on the coupon, I don't see why they can turn you away. That's not good customer service to lose a customer over $3.00. Have you tried calling BG directly? If it happened to you...

Their lives are not for you to take. You don't get to decide whether they live or die. I'm sure other responders will be more diplomatic and offer real advice, but I'm horrified that someone would even consider killing pets they've had for 12 years. Within the last 4 years, their lives have...

I couldn't possibly let my cat roam the outdoor by himself. I'm too paranoid for that. I like to know where he is at all times. He's my little buddy and should something happen to him because I allowed him to roam the neighborhood, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Up until 2009, Lex was...

I like this answer best. There's cat people standard and society's. I have one cat. Since I am the sole caretaker, I wouldn't be able to handle more than 2 cats.

I have noticed this, too. It is usually in the Behavior and SOS sections; many of those members have recently (relatively) signed up. I suspect that they were referred to this forum or perhaps found it by googling their problem. Those members are usually the hit-and-run types. They find...

She might be hiding nearby. After sunset when it is quiet, go outside and just sit and wait. Bring her favorite food and some of your dirty clothes. Keeping calling her as you wait.

Callie had a good life with you and she was loved. Don't wreck yourself with guilt. You were there with her till the end and that's more than most cats can hope for. God bless, Callie.

Lex is difficult to photograph. He's skittish and is always on the move at the slightest sound. The only time he is still long enough to photograph is when he's sleepy or has spotted a prey. But when the moment presents itself, I have to be quick with the camera.

My cat purrs every time his teeth is brushed. He hates having his teeth brushed, so I know he's not happy (or in pain). In addition to expressing contentment, it could be a coping mechanism during time of stress. Perhaps it alleviates some of the tension the cat is feeling.
