Last Monday night, my little guy, Sox, decided to run away. I believe that he was chasing a neighborhood cat. Sox, and his sister, Beacon, are rescues from the local humane society, and are indoor cats. Sox was able to push out the screen for my bedroom window and I have not seen him since...
Ok, I admit, I have taken a little vacation from visiting here normally, but Sox, my tabby is constantly apwing at my new LCD tv that I received as a gift for my birthday. Anyone else have issues with LCDs? I just can't keep him away from it whenever its on!
Ok, first off I need to state that both Sox and Beacon are indoor cats, but I live in an apartment complex with a lot of grad students that have dogs, in fact I know of at least 3 or 4 dogs on my side of the building and another 2 cats in the apartment right next to mine.
My two have been...
Ok, my parents mentioned that regular ole Cheerios cereal is a good alternative to pet treats. Everything I seem to know about cats seems to contradict this statement. What are your thoughts on the idea?
I am going to try to keep this short and sweet for everyone's sake (actually I am surprised that I am not feeling upset about the situation). I work retail, more importantly, home improvement. A couple of weeks ago, you would have found me as an assistant manager of my store's Cabinets and...
Alright, went to Alaska last week, it was very awesome to finally get to visit there. Took tons of photos (going to upload those on Thursday, my day off this week), and had some really great food! It was great to see the family, as I don't ever seem to see enough of them these days. Although...
Ok, Sox is a scratcher, he loves scratching at just about anything, miniblinds, my mail, phonebooks, etc....
Anyone have suggestions on other textures that he might enjoy rubbing his paws against?
Ok, need to give a little background.
I have a Bachelor's of Science in International Business from Illinois State University, graduated in 2001; although my GPA wasn't the best, was able to pull through a couple of really troublesome courses with equally troublesome profs and an academic...
Looking for some healthy additives for cottage cheese. Its a little bland for my palette and I want to jazz it up a little to make healthier eating more enjoyable.
Ok, so I took the week off last week and went to Florida, but I am already to go back! It was 80F and sunny with a little breeze there yesterday when I left, when I got back to Indianapolis it was 41F and windy, today we are going to have a high of 31F with snow and wind..... tomorrow is...
I think I recall reading somewhere that cats have a difficult time adjusting to temperature changes (i.e. running the heater at 70F during the day and 62-4F at night). Is this true? Anyone have any experience with this? I'd prefer to sleep with the temperature a little colder at night, but I...
So I took Beacon my 4 1/2 month female to the vet for alteration earlier this week and I have noticed on two occasions today that she has been licking the sutures, which I know is not a good idea. Anyone have any suggestions?
...and Beacon and Sox are going crazy watching the big fluffy flakes fall outside. Too bad they are trying to follow individual flakes and not watching the whole picture.
Ok, Sox, my tabby, has white and black paw pads on each paw and his lower lip is half white and half black. Didn't know if this was common with cats as it isn't too common with dogs.
On a recent trip home one evening I was listening to WGN Radio and their pet show. The host and the guests all highly recommended using puzzle feeders for indoor cats.
Has anyone used them? Does anyone have any plans, designs, or links on how to make them?
Ok, since I adopted Sox I have accepted that he sucks his thumb. He'll curl up with me in bed while I am trying to sleep and lay on my throat and just suck his thumb, or sometimes he'll prop himself up against my side and do it, I realize that this is a security thing and have brought it up...
Hi, my name is Justin and I adopted two cats from my local humane society right before Thanksgiving. I have Sox, a male tabby with white paws who is about 5 months old now, and I have Beacon, a female black cat with small tufts of white on her belly who is 4 months old.
These are my first two...
