I know we had a gay bull once at my parents farm. Took us a year to figure out we were not getting any calves. Apparently, according to my dad there are a certain percentage of bulls that end up being gay. Go figure huh.

Hi everyone. I was really at the end of my rope last week when I posted up so I appreciate the time everyone spent replying to my post. I took quite a bit of advise from here and appreciate that everyone was so supportive. I have adopted the approach of putting the cats to bed each night...

I am curious what time people have tried to feed their cats to minimize their evening hunts. We have been feeding Wiggs and Alistar at about 7am and 7pm. We try not to feed them any earlier, but when Wiggs gets too annoying I have a habit of getting up as early as 6am to feed them. I don't...

My cat Wiggins is going to make me lose my mind. Every night is the same thing, he will not leave my partner or myself alone. I have really reached my limit with him and if I canâ€8482t find a strategy to deal with him he is going back to the SPCA so you are my last hope. Wiggins is almost...

Hello, i have been there and done that, I have two suggestions the first is the vacuum one that one works great, just have it connected to a power bar and when they start meowing or scratching at the door turn it on. The second is to get one of those plastic pads you put under your desk chair...

my cat had the exact same problem, he is now 1 year old and we have not experienced this anymore. We figured it was the kitten food he was eating. At 6 months ( or atleast what we though was 6 months, he was a stray) we started him on adult cat food. And that solved all of his problems. I...

The vacuum outside the door works great. I suggest plugging it into a power bar and leave it on the bedside table and then just flick the switch (it sure beats trying to find the electrical outlet in the middle of the night ) Atleast that will get you through the month and then kittie wont...

i dunno if this will work but maybe you can try putting some bitter apple on her belly. I know it works well for when they are over grooming certain areas. Its worth a try anyways.

While your example of plucking out eyes and cutting out vocal cords is theatric, it would certainly be a stretch to compare it to the rather more humane debate of declawing. I suppose if we wanted to be technical, declawing meets the definition of an amputation, but no more so than if we were...

When i was growing up i was scolded over and over for jumping on the couch, does that mean my mom cared more for the couch then me??? of course not?? its just that there has to be a form of discipline and you cant just ignore it. " not that delcawing an cat is a form of decipline". Although in...

Just with humans regular check ups can prevent and catch these problems. i am sorry to hear about your cat and it is sad that it was not caught earlier. I agree with you that by saying, "if the cat is declawed you have to keep it the rest of your life" and that would only occur in a perfect...

I completely agree, every animal i have ever owned has been spayed or nuetered and i think it is important to do so. But i would still say both are unnecssary procedures. My SO's family ownes a farm and they fix the female cats but dont bother fixing the males.

I'm sorry let me clarify my cat Wiggins still has his claws and i have not had any issues with him scratching at the furniture he has his cat tree and thats were he sticks to. But the leather couch takes a beating from time to time from him slipping off and trying to grip to things "not his...

I just want so say that I voted for declawing. Under certain circumstances: 1. you must keep the cat its whole life 2. You must never let it outside 3. You must do it when it is still a kitten. And i understand that this board is against declawing but I have to say that some of the arguments...

Maybe your cat is like us when we get old, having to get up to go pee multiple times in the night. Maybe he/she has decided the hell with it that it is just more convient to sleep there and let what has to happen happen. I know i have thought that some nights. LOL
