I think a Pug (not a Puggle), would do just fine with your cat. It may take some time for your cat to get used to the dog being around, but it will. My kitten absolutely loves my 2 Cairn Terriers. She even sleeps with them at night. The 3 year old cat we just adopted a little over a week...
Wow, that's so sad. How did they get out? Did one of your family members let them out, or do you think a stranger opened the gate? Were you home?
Definitely contact your local SPCA & e-mail all the ones in your state with pictures of both of your dogs...or since you said you only have pics...
So, I took Savannah to the vet on Friday to have her stitches taken out. The vet said the SPCA was incorrect about what Savannah is mixed with. He said DEFINITELY Bengal, but no bobcat. He's not sure what the other half of her is. Ah well. She does have a sever upper respitory infection...
I actually just picked up Savannah from the vet the other day and he said "I think the people you adopted the cat from is lying to you. She's definitely part Bengal, but all bobcat and cats mixed with any bobcat would have a stubby tail. I'm not sure what she is mixed with though." So, either...
It's possible it is mange. Even when they do skin scrapings, they only actually SEE the mange 50% of the time. So, even if they see nothing with the skin scraping, doesn't mean that it's not there.
Tell him to try giving the dog childrens' Benedryl. Yes, it is safe for dogs. If it's skin...
Really? Everytime I go to the shelter, you can smell the cats room from OUTSIDE of the doors. I smell nothing when I go into the dog kennel area. Maybe your dogs stink because you're bathing them too often? I bathe my dogs once a week, which, is technically too frequent. You should only...
6 for dogs! Don't get me wrong, I love my cats, but sometimes hate how sassy they are, and how they only want attention, when THEY want attention. My dogs are always there by my side and ready to give me kisses anytime & are ready for all the attention I want to give. They also listen to...
Oh my gosh, I love that website! I can hardly ever find anything with Cairn Terriers & this site has a lot! I own 2 of them. Best dogs I have ever owned. They have so much love to give!
Aww, poor babies! They kind of look like Border Collie/Lab mixes. Well, definitely the black and white female. It's possible the others are as well. Also kind of look like Jack Russel/Lab mixes. You could do that DNA testing via mail for like $150. They mail you a cotton swab with a test...
You don't need to drive to buy it. You can purchase it online and have it delivered to your house. If your cat or dogs hate it, then just donate it. It's only $20.
lol, thanks! Her pictures are on page 2 of my thread in "New Cats on the Block". I think I titled it "New Here and New to Cats". She's a marble Bengal & Bobcat. She's so pretty, I love her. She's real friendly too. Well, when the dogs aren't around her...
Here's the link...
I use Fresh Step Lavendar Valley (for Cosi's litter box), and Fresh Step Mountain Fresh (for Savannah's litter box). Both cover up the nasty smell. I also scoop them out once in the morning, and once during the day. Cosi's box is on our 1st floor, so I scoop hers and throw it in the trashcan...
My Tortie (Cosette) gets a bath once a week. I'm extremely allergic to cats.
I just adopted Savannah (my Bobcat/Bengal mix) about a week ago. She goes to the vet tomorrow to get her stitches out from being spayed, and then will be going to the groomers to get a bath on Monday. I'm not sure...
There's another member with a Cosette?! Nice!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I love Savannah's markings. She's one cool cat. My husband loves her. He said he likes Cosette last because she gets into everything. (but she's only 6 months...so it's understandable.)
Having allergies...
Laureen, does Holistic food tend to cause a lot of gas? I will switch if I need to. I guess when she goes into get fixed, I will have her checked for anal glands, and for the intestinal bacteria. When she went for her first vet visit, he did say she had a bit of diarrhea, but wasn't sure if...
Oh boy. I actually DO know how to do it, as I am a dog groomer. I hate doing it, since the smell is God awful, but I'm almost 100% positive that this is gas, and not anal glands. I will have my vet check when she goes in to get spayed. Anal gland 'juice' (as I call it), smells more like...
This is not a very pleasant subject, but my 6 month old kitten has got the WORST gas ever. It literally smells like rotten eggs.
I feed her 1 tablespoon of Eagle Pak Holistic wet food ONCE in the morning, and then she has her Eagle Pak dry food sitting out all day to eat when she wants. She...
