Well, he IS an F3 bengal, so I wouldn't be surprised if he really wanted to 'hunt'. I'll have to look into spicing up his meal times and see if that helps.

They were ringtop cans, yes, but he did not open the ring tops. He chewed through the sides and edges of them after peeling off the labels. And yes, having a cut mouth was my biggest worry but he was fine. I'd be very tempted to get out a camera and tape him doing it, but I don't want him to...

Okay, so I know better than to leave bags of catfood anywhere not locked up. Even if I leave it for a minute, the crew will tear it open. I learned that lesson the hard way. So last night I come with a case of canned cat food. CANNED mind you. In metal cans. Hence the term, canned. I left it...

I have TWO cats that can open the fridge. My black 11 month old foster and my bengal both can open the fridge. They haven't as yet figured out the freezer operates under the same principle. I did put on a child lock and that works...provided I make sure I lock it all the way before I go to bed...

Okay, is my bengal just demented? There are several strange things about him and his sister (who my mother and sister own) that just puzzle me. Firstly, Bengals are very active cats, yes? But I swear, Azzy is one of my laziest cats. Oh, he'll get up and goof off now and again but most of the...

My rabbit turned very hostile when he hit puberty...late as it turned out. As soon as he was neutered he went right back to being a sweetie-pie. Rabbits tend to only be really aggressive and territorial if they are intact. Speutered rabbits don't have that drive to defend their space or to breed...

I have to say those citronella collars work wonders. I got an EVICTION notice on my apartment door, at the last complex I lived in. Apparently my dogs had been barking for WEEKS while I was at work and several neighbors had complained. Mind, I had no idea. They were quiet when I left and quiet...

I did try and talk him into taking both, but he said no. We'll see how things develop in a couple days and see if he's changed his mind. He's pretty confident, however, that one or two of his wife's friends may want a kitty too, so he's going to ask around. He's coming to pick up the kitty today...

If you remember the two little kitties a coworker gave me to rehome that we were worried had FIV (fortunately, they don't), I've finally found a home for Dash, the tuxedo. No one's wanted them because no one wants such 'plain' kitties (tux and solid black). But one of my techs just approached...

Well, I put the caps on the little ones last night and they didn't even bat an eyelash. Everyone else is doing wonderfully with them. They still 'scratch' their scratching post and try and scratch on the carpet and couch, but cause no damage. So far, I love these things. I tried the double...

I finally bought Soft Paws nail caps for my crew of eight. I only decided to cap six of them since two of my cats don't scratch at all and don't even seem to know what claws are for. I mainly decided to do it because they're starting to tear my carpet up beside my bedroom door (they are not...

Here's my cow-kitty Jasper, playing with my dog.

He probably is afraid of the leash. Some people use leashes to beat their dogs...sad but true. Keeping the leash hooked to him and letting him drag it around the house from time to time without actually taking him out is good for him. Also, sometimes, just go and randomly get the leash out...

How long has he been with you again? I'd wait a month, and if no one claims him, neuter him. I think that's a reasonable amount of time. Even if he was owned by a show breeder (in which case, he'd likely be microchipped), they'd likely just be happy to know he's safe and sound after such a...

Two pics of fawn frenchies that look almost identical to him: http://www.totl.ru/dogs/gregor/images/1.jpg http://www.toledotel.com/~smokeyvly/hungryBIS.JPG
