I would definately not recommend cutting your cats hair. I had a terrible experience. I was trying to remove some mats from my blue kitty when she was only 3 months old, I got some real sharp scissors and started cutting, then all of a sudden she decided to move and I sliced her under her...

Well here in Australia, it is the middle of winter. There is not much happening in the garden at present. Everything is wet, boggy and leafless. Luckily hubby has a tropical hot house which he keeps tropical orchards in, so on a gloomy winters day, you can go inside in the warm and admire all...

Hi katrina amd welcome to this fab site. I too had problems in the beginning convincing my husband to get a cat. He was alergic to cats from an early age and he only had memories of sneezing and runny eyes as a child when it came to cats. I eventually talked him into looking at a bunch of...

Hmm, well in respone to the Coyote dilemma, we here down under mainly in the middle of the Australian desert, we have a similar problem with dingoes. A wild dog. You many recall the huge court case here in Australia back in the early 70's. A dingo supposedly 'took and killed a baby' It was...

Well, that discussion let a 'cat out of the bag! Didn't you know all us aussies down here restle crocodiles in our spare time! Talk about turning into a political issue. I think we as humans, have so much to learn from each other's cultures, religions, habitats, we are so ignorant towards the...

Well unfortunately as Australians we perceive Americans to be loud, crime ridden and finatical towards religion. In the television we watch, the books we read, the movies we go to see and the news which has been edited. I dont think we know a TRUE American. I dont believe it is our fault as...

Yeah right couch! With 3 Kitty Kats in the house there is no way they are going to share a couch. My youngest black persian Neko sleeps on the lounge floor nearest you in front of the fire. )this is HIS place and HIs place only) My beautiful (I shouldn't say favourite) blue persian Susiha...

Hi Elizabeth It's nice to hear from someone who is interested in Japanese things too. My husband and I spent out honeymoon in Germany. Well europe but we fell in love with germany. Padderborn, Bad Reichenhall, Betchtesgarden and Altenmarket. We had the best time in your beautiful country...

I am teribly sorry to hear of the loss of Pooky. It is so sad when you lose an animal. In some ways it is harder losing an animal than it is a human. I remember one horrible wet and woolly night, there was a knock at the door with an older man standing on my porch saying he had hit a cat...

Hey thanks for the info on coyotes. I did not know they were a dog/ wolf and native to North America. Yes we are ignorant to different cultures around the world, that is the beauty of the internet being able to learn so many things about other people. In Adelaide, we have problems with foxes...

Hi there, It's Bec from the down under again, thought I would just clarify for those of you who don't quite know what Chooks are. They are chickens, I guess it is an Aussie slang the word 'chook'. I have grown up with it my whole life and had to laugh when a few of you didn't know what they...

Being an experienced mum of kittys for more than 8 years, my 3 beautiful kittys both live indoors and outdoors in a surbaban street. They all have atleast 3 bells around their collars to prevent catching native wildlife and at night they are waiting on the door step to come inside in the...

I live in Adelaide, Australia (yep the down under). I have an imense love of kittys and 3 of my own. I have a blue persian, a black persian and a 10 year old 'moggy'. My bule persian is called Suisha named after an awesome japanes bar where we had many sakis in Tokyo one night, the black...

Thanks for the advice about the combs. I got home last night and spent 1.5 hours on my blue persian teasing the knots then cutting them carefully when I couldnt break them down. The matts are so tight and start right at the skin so it is difficult to cut too close to the skin. It is the...

Hi there, I have a 12 month old blue persian and a 9 month old black persian, both seem to have different hair types. My blue persian seems to develop knots and matts just by looking at her. She spends all day outside and sleeps inside at night. My black boy does not seem to get knots at...
