    Never heard of such a thing

    You might check with animal control to see if they are trying to trap one. Perhaps someone in the area got bit and they're looking for rabies? amanda and kipling

    Clicker Training thread

    With dogs anyway, its important to do initial training individually. Plus it helps if you can use a different marker for each animal. There are clickers out there that are adjustable for multi-animal households, or you can use say a clicker for one, a whistle for another and a marker word such...

    Need advice: getting a puppy w/ cats in the house??

    training/meowing question

    Thanks Sarah, I have tried this but he is very persistant, plus as soon as I start putting the bowl down, he meows again so unless I can get the bowl back up in time, he gets rewarded for meowing. Maybe, I'll add the clicker to this to see if he gets the idea better. I have lots of dog...

    training/meowing question

    So you think that ripping him out of the only home he has ever known for over 10 years, away from all his best friends and dumping him in a strange place with a person he's never met before is a better alternative than trying to teach him a new behavior? Sorry if I'm being rude, I know I'm new...

    training/meowing question

    I would never starve my cat or use any aversive training methods. I didn't even take that as a real suggestion. Nor would I rehome him. I make a lifetime commitment to all my animals. I don't know what it is about his voice that gets to me, I've never had another cat that bothered me in that...

    training/meowing question

    Ok, stange question: is there any way to train a cat not to meow for food? The only time Kipling ever talks to me is when he wants food which I know is normal, but for some reason, his voice just grates on my nerves, especially first thing in the morning. Due to his weight, he is kept on a...

    back again

    Hello everyone! I was here a couple years ago, and wanted to stop back by for a while. I'm Amanda and I am owned by a neutered male domestic shorthair, Kipling, who is about 11 years old. We also share our home with three wonderful pups who are Kiplings best buds. Samantha is an 8yo S/F pitador...
