    Do You Feed Raw?

    I can understand your love for horses but I see it this way: Pigs are also lovely intelligent animals, so are cows and sheeps and still we slaughter them in their millions and eat them with no regret. To eat a horse is not a sign of a uncivilized culture, but rather that the food tabu is...

    Feeling Presents Dead Cat .

    I have heard about this experience before from other people. I am Icelandic, and here spirits and ghosts are a part of everyday life and people talk about pshychic experiences like every day things, just part of the culture I guess. My mother always feels her old cat walk on her bed, and she is...

    advice for transitioning new cat

    I am sure that Merlin will be very happy living with you, you truly sound like a cat-spoiler As the others say, he can probably act little bit afraid at first, but as soon as he gets familiar with his new home he will turn around. My experience with cats that are afraid is to speak to them in...

    Talking Coons?

    My Maine coon really lets me know if he wants something. Then he shouts out a loud MEOW. He also uses different sounds for different things. For example he has a special "I want milk" meow, and the weirdest thing is that it sounds like milk in Icelandic (something like miowlk), and I think he is...

    Do You Feed Raw?

    As I am in Iceland I feed a little bit different raw food then you might in europe or usa. For the most part my cats eat dry food and seem to do very well on it. Then I always share my food with anyone that wants a bite. That would most often be cooked chicken, fat fish, lamb, horse, or liver...

    Help! Agressive new Bengal Kitten

    It is sometimes very prominent in Bengals to be very territorial. I own 6 cats (2 bengals) and one of my bengal females is the one starting all the fights, and some of my cats are scared of her. I have found out that the wrong way to stop this is to yell at her, because then she just gets...

    Outdoor cat turned indoor and hates it!!

    It is my opinion that if a cat is used to the outdoor life, then he will never be perfectly happy as an indoor cat, but a cat that only knows indoor life is most of the time perfectly happy if he doesnt get a "taste" of the outdoor life. Did you recently move to another location? It is my...

    Iams that you can get here in Iceland is marketed very aggressively as the best of the best catfood, and I think the price of it is according to that marketing; 6.6 lbs (3 kg) is priced at nearly 50 american dollars!!! and a 2.2 lbs bag is over 20 american dollars. Iceland is an overall...

    How close together can a female cat have 2 litters?

    I read in a book about cats that in fact females can carry two different litters at the same time, that arent the same age. That is she can get pregnant and while pregnant, go in heat and get pregnant with a whole other litter, that will be born later then the first. Just amazing how fertile...

    Krummi, the clever kitty coon

    I promised you that I would write about my male Maine Coon abilities to do tricks. As some of you know already he is called Krummi, that is an unformal word for raven (and yes he is black ). When I got him last july I only had little time to spend with him, because I had started to work so...

    Pictures of my 6 cats and introduction

    Thanks everybody for the warm welcome. Yes this is the pet shop I work in. Fortunantly the shop is made in a way that makes it easy to keep it clean and smell-free. I also put an effort into cleaning the cages on a regular basis, not only because it looks good, but because the animals like to be...

    Beat pulp

    There is a difference from a regular beet and sugar beet. The regular beet is used for food here in Iceland, and is very popular in traditional Icelandic food. I guess its because it CAN grow here up at the artic circle. The beet pulp is in fact very good supplement in cat food, because it...
