    So the cat spent the day out in the back yard today. She didn't get exploded, murdered, raped, poisoned, electrocuted, fall into any wells, catch AIDS, abducted by aliens for experimentation, etc. She probably had a good time since it was really nice out today oppose to being cooped up seeing...

    You know, I'm sitting right here at my desk eating some unintended poison. Do you know what it is? It's chocolate. I'm not sure if it's poisonous to cats like it is to dogs. But that isn't really the point. A lot of the dangers you listed are dangers that can be face inside the house as well as...

    Hi, I'm Rick and I have an orange cat.

    There is a breed of cat called "white cat"? lol, that's a creative name for a breed. I did suspect she was a tabby since they are common, but I don't know cat breeds from a hole in the ground.

    Hi, I'm Rick and I have an orange cat.

    Thanks you guys. There seems to be a lot of friction between my puppy and Pumpkin, but I think that's because her parents tried to kill Pumpkin on several occations. Bertha (the puppy) isn't quite like that and they're ok with each other now (won't fight each other but Pumpkin and Bertha...

    I already tried that, but I think since I just moved in (just finished the 2nd week here) she was a little freaked out. so she just hid under the porch until I let her and the dogs in. couldn't really tell you if she did business or not.

    that's the plan, I figure I could put a bunch out by the garage for her to use. tomorrow I'll be moving the box outside after work. Then away from the house a week after that. Pumpkin is pretty smart, when I first turned her into an indoor cat, I just got a box of litter and dropped her into it...

    Outdoor cat becoming indoor cat full time

    My cat was an outdoor cat and she was pretty rambunctious when I brought her inside at first, but she settled down after awhile.

    For those of you with dogs...

    I don't crate my 4 year old lab any longer. I used to crate her when I was at work only. My 4 month old boxer/bulldog I just got gets crated when I'm not able to watch her (at work and when I sleep), she'll be crated until I get her 100% house broken. It is understandable if you and your "DH"...

    Hi, I'm Rick and I have an orange cat.

    The dog's name is Sadie. Yeah, Pumpkin loves her but Bertha, my new puppy, not so much. I figure it will pass with time, Pumpkin was the same way with Sadie when I first put them together.

    My Boxer/Bulldog would be small enough to get through the cat door, not to mention that it would be a good access point for burgulars to get in. I also live in a structurally brick house so cutting a hole into the side of it would be rather difficult. but thank you for your suggestion.

    Hi, I'm Rick and I have an orange cat.

    I'm pretty sure most here can figure out which one is that cat. Her name is Pumpkin (cliche, I know).

    Outdoor training.

    I have a cat that was outdoor only for the first year, year and a half of her life. Then I moved out of my parent's house and into my own apartment for the next three years where she became a mostly indoor only cat (she would sometimes go outside when I walked my dog or she would chill on the...
