My cat Tom, thrives being outdoors! He has a cage built outside for him to run and play in and he's happy out there. He loves it and never wants to come inside except for at night after the birds stop flying around (and the bats come out, eek! I make him come in at that point for fear of rabies...

Worst part is, I believe that makes the allergins worse Wouldn't bathing them that often dry their skin out and make them lick themselves more, secrete more oils, etc? But a friend of mine's mom inherited a cat when her son went to college and I'm pretty sure she hates him too Mind you, it's a...

I wouldn't say you're bad. I had a cat who had longer fur but it wasn't too thick and I only bathed her twice. Once when she came to be from the shelter, and the other time when we moved around furniture (she lost her mind and peed, pooped, and threw up on herself. She was a very nervous cat )...

Yes, this country is an extremely different place than I'm used to, there are laws, just none are enforced. In Canada, if one animal looked like how the animals here look like, there would be public outcry and legal authorities looking for who is responsible (or not responsible and should have...

They will hopefully have a good start with me. Even though I'm allergic to cats, I love them and can't see them suffer. I'm used to having my two cats in the house though, so my allergies have lessened a lot. I will see about posting pictures. I'll take some tonight possibly and will post...

Haha, he's the only vet in the area that actually went to vet school ( I've been to two other vets, one, when I checked, was a licensed dermetologist and the other was a dentist. For some reason, they can open veterinary clinics with ANY medical licence here in the Philippines). So, even though...

I had a cat like this once, a female long haired cat named Emma. She was like this for almost a full year and then over the course of a week, just snapped out of it. She was still nervous about somethings (if we vaccumed in the house, she'd pee herself and sometimes vomit) and if we changed...

I haven't been on in a long time and I apologize. Between volunteering and taking care of the immense feral population in my area, I don't have time to be online. It's my last month in the Philippines after being here a year and I was looking forward to it being uneventful. All 19 of the...

Cats breed and want to breed the majority of their lives, if we are not prepared to deal with that, we should not have a cat. It can go both ways. You can't tell someone that they shouldn't have a cat because they do not want their entire lives revolved around curtains and whether or not you...

Spaying and neutering is a birth control method which prevents mammary tumours in cats, something that affects 25% of unspayed female cats. After spaying, this is reduced to 3.6% over a lifetime if she is spayed before her first heat. Pyometra is prevented because of the removal of the ovaries...

I have looked into it however in my area, Cebu in the Philippines, there is nothing like that. There are in different islands, but not in Cebu, so sadly, it's not an option. If I can decrease it a little bit, I am moving back to Canada with the two cats this summer (I am literally moving out of...

Sorry, I think you misread my post or I am horrid at wording it, either way, miscommunication was an issue (and I apologize if it was my wording it. Sometimes I think too fast and everything comes out in a jumble, I will admit). I was not saying someone should compliment anything or comparing it...

I am not a Gov. Schwarznegger person. The governator is not my favourite person in the world. He promised to lift the ban on ferrets if he was elected, and guess what? Liar, Liar, PANTS ON FIRE. Ack! If I ever met him, he'd get a piece of my mind, for sure.

Sorry it took me awhile to reply, guys, I had a brown out in my area (4 DAYS! ACK!). Which was oh so lovely (not), the cats were stuck in the house with no air conditioning and I can say, I was uncomfortable, so they were by far worse than I was. I never promoted declawing, in fact, I'm still...

Firstly, I would prefer this to not get personal. You may state your opinion, bring in any proof you may have, but do not attack me or anyone else on here. Please, lets me civil. So, I was having a discussion today with a friend of mine who has a declawed cat. I have been trying to rid my cat...
