The one thing I've learned with my meezers is talking to them is a necessity. I've heard that the best thing to do when a child has a temper tantrum is to ignore them so they don't learn they can yank your chain [obviously I have no two legged children ] With my meezers, I've found the...

Marco digs like he is trying to reach the other side of the world. I had the not so brilliant idea of talking to him when the excavating began to distract him [he's a bit intense about his digging]. He decided to show me his digging works just as well on my plants. At that point I got a...

All of mine are on Nature's Variety raw. Cats are obligate carnivores so I went that route simply because it seemed to be the closest I could get to their natural diet. I'm pleased with their health [no vet visits except annual checkups in two years] and the improvement in weight control and...

I can't believe this opinion is about to fall out of my mouth as I'm a confirmed bachelorette, have no kids and never will [I figure I help balance the population out that way ] There are several Mennonite communities in this area and large families are quite common. Not the rule but not...

Don't know if you are tech inclined. I run my business from home so I have to have good calendar skills. I just make recurring reminders to pop up and let me know it's time for this shot or another. Then the reminder pops up again when it's time for the next one automatically.

I feed raw and my cats have thrived on it. However, I strongly agree with the advice above regarding being under the guidance of a good vet if you decide to pursue it further. Feeding raw requires a good knowledge of balance, it's not just meat they need, it's what the meat is made of. Cats...

FIve is the magic number here. They are all shelter kitties so we only have a guess as to their age. Zukua, flamepoint 3 yrs old Marco, sealpoint 3 yrs old Feliz, tuxedo 2 yrs old Loki, orange tabby 3 yrs old Cleo, grey tabby 5 yrs old

Three of my five will play fetch, the other two come along just because something is happening and they don't want to miss it. The funny thing is the smallest of all five apparently got tired of everyone beating him to the object thrown. He learned to jump on his hind legs and catch it in the...

I've the Petmate and the Drinkwell and love them both. Each of the cats have their favorites and won't use the other, spoiled brats. I've noticed with the Petmate you have to be a little more diligent about keeping the water pump cleaned out, it seems to clog fairly easy [then again all the...

I'm going to sound like such a cheapskate. I bought one of the 30lb cheap cat litters that comes ironically in a very heavy duty square plastic container at the local Wally World. Cost all of $8. Oh and the cheap cat litter? I divvied it out in heavy duty plastic bags and stowed it in the...

Welcome aboard snickers! I love 'em all but I have to confess I'm partial to sushi.

Same one, same problem. Adjusting the flow like Ping said was all it took to fix it. I think it was just too fast for mine's preference.

My thinking is that even if it's just a threat to get the cat out faster...she'd be better off elsewhere anyway. People who can even make a threat [real or not] like that about a living creature are not ones who would get high marks for a stable environment in my book.

I hope this all turned out ok. Just some helpful advice, if you decide to keep the cat, tell the landlord and get a written addendum to your lease saying it can stay. He won't remove the cat, he'll tell you to move. Verbal is not good enough because it won't trump a written agreement, if he...

I take horrible pictures but I can't resist torturing people with them anyway. The chins... Padme http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2...o/SUNP0014.jpg Zara http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2...hins/Zara5.jpg Dani http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ins/JagsBV.jpg The cavies Elvis...
