It's a great idea to let the shelter know if he decides to get a dog. Even though I really don't think he's the type of person to "save" an animal. He'll wait til one of his friends' dogs has an unwanted litter and get one of them. I don't see him actually getting another pet anytime soon...

Yes I DO know it's aginst the law. And my cat pretty much IS My kid so no I take this kind of thing VERY seriously. But, this was years ago (the 3 month old in this story is now 3) and there's no way they or I could prove it happened other than his story. Believe me, I would have turned his...

The next sentance out of his mouth after this story was "I really want a dog"

So the other day while on my lunch break at work, my coworker and I got to talking about our cats. Now, I disagreed with him about him de-clawing his cats (but he did not know about the atrocities of it until I told him) but he obviously takes great care of them and loves them dearly. But then...

Dominoe doesn't resond to her name, but she does respond to "Dee" which is cuter sounding anyway (she came to me with her name and I'd find it ude to the person who gave her to me to change it ^^

AOMG Your vet is AWESOME!! Vets like that should keep little "why you shouldn't declaw" pamphlets to give to people like that. It's usually just ignorance.

Vet's suggest the procedure and back it up in most cases because it is yet another unnecesary thing they can charge you for.

oh my I missed it! They are all quite beautiful though and look healthy! Blacka also looks very content! I wouldn't worry too much about the one baby wanting the back teet. That's where the most milk is and they ALL fight for those ones haha. As long as he's drinking from somewhere he...

Have you guys tried fostering her out to anyone? It sounds to me like she's gone crazy from being in the shelter. It's not an idea place for cats to relax or show their true nature. if she were to be taken in by someone for a few weeks even, maybe that would change her attitude?

Yay! Good for you! (mmm dairy queen! lol) That shelter I linked to says it's in Dimmit on the google map, and when you zoom out, it shows your town close by ^^ You should give them a call to find out how much they would charge to take Blackas kittens off your hands once they have been weaned...

All rescue organizations I have known pay for everything for the kittens. Their food, their shots, their vet care, their fixing. You should get him neutered ASAP whether you foster or not as younger cats (between the ages of 6-14 weeks) do better with the operation. Also, this will probably...

http://plvhumane.myplainview.com/index.htm The Plainview HUmane Society is in Dimmit. They are a no-kill shelter that you can call for info ^^ Here's a map

Aww I've seen this happen before with my grandmother. When I moved away to college in 2002, I had to leave my 8 year-old Jazmine behind. My grandmother still took care of her though. Now that my grandfather is in a nursing home (he has Huntington's Disease) Jazmine has my grandmother's...

My cat does this too. But she's never nipped hard enough to draw blood or anything so I've never gave it too much thought. I think if it's not a "okay we're done here" nip, then it's an "I like you let's play!" kinda nip. Maybe take a toy to her next time? This might make her happy =^.^=

I don't think it's so much that they understand the words as they assocate that sound your making with a particular event. Like "treats" means they're getting a snack" and "din-din" means they're getting dinner. They can also learn to assocate their name with good things, like a petting...

Awww! I love your kitty names (huge HP fan here!) I'd say it could be teething and it could be the kitten "suckling" reflex. If it's the suckling reflex, she's seeing you as a mother figure and it makes her happy to mimick what she would do on her mother's teet on your finger. 5 weeks is...

http://www.cathelp-online.com/health/kitten3.php There's a chart on there that tells you when a kitten's teeth come in by weeks/months ^^ I found that my younger cat was destructively chewing at the early stages >.> Especially on the corners of things. Plastic bins, cardboard boxes and...

I live in a small town with a no-kill shelter =^.^= I didn't know it was one until I researched for it. Have you done the same? I agree with the others, if you do no the relatively small amount of cash to care for the mother cat than there is NO way you will have the money to responsibly take...

I know when I "scratch" on something my adult cat wants to imitate me, so yeah, I'd say scratching on the post yourself would't do any harm ^^ Might even make him like it more cuz it will make it smell like you and make him calmer with the post. Sherman is such a cute name for a kitty! Good...

Devlyn is right, you should contact a low-cost clinic. Humane Societies and the ASPCA do these and many times they can work with you on a sliding scale based on your income level. Mine only costs $30 for a visit.
