What is Buddy? Dog? Cat?

If my dad had not found them, the tractor would have killed them, or if they survived that, the Saluki, Dena, would have gotten them. If they managed to make it out of that pasture alive, as ferals they would be risking disease, starvation, or getting flattened out on the busy street a few...

The girl's dad and my cousin, Jim, holding a baby.

My other 2nd cousin, Ashley, helping my Aunt feed them.

My second cousin, Alley, holding baby.

My dad was mowing the high brush out in the back pasture a week or so ago, and as he's always alert while on the big Ford tractor, he managed to stop before he ran over a litter of kittens hidden in the tall grass. He put them in his hat and brought them up to the house and they were in real...

My aunt, a cat fancier from way back, says that if mom will let you, go ahead and handle them asap. They may not be able to see or hear, but they can feel and they can smell and those whos touch and scent are familiar to them they will bond to. Just be sure not to pick them up and handle them...

I know it's all about cats here, but I love my collie and so do my kitties.

Oh, yes, does the collie get carsick. We call her Madam Sophia Frothchild (her registered name is Blossom Hill Barksdale Act One)and while she hates the ride she loves the destinations (camping, the beach, the off-leash dog park). I have news on the Raven front: I washed out her boxes with a...

Yes, I watch Buffy and Angel, annoyed w/ Angel, liking Buffy. Would you let your kids read Harry Potter or Narnia? Both? Z~

I doubt he'd have fared any better using a screwdriver. Sounds like Darwin Award time...though he already added to the gene pool, so it is a little late. Question: A serrated butter knife? I've never seen a butter knife that was serrated. The butter knives that I am familiar with are kind of...

That's right, folks! Doggie after-dinner mints at a litterbox near you! The only thing grosser than that was when we took the dogs camping last fall and on the way up Sophia got car sick and hurled partially digested cat poop all over the back seat of the trooper. I thought I was going to...

With regards to children: It might be very upsetting for a child to see his animal friend not feeling well and the other animals in their cages in various conditions with wounds/tubes/IVs and what have you. I wouldn't take a kid to a human emergency room unless I had to (meaning that unless it...

Thanks, Vanessa. Yes, I am sure the propotions are different for the cat and dog food. Still, my cats will steal dry dog food any chance they get though (but turn up their noses at wet cat food- go figure!), so not like it's a taste issue . We have a place in my area called PetVet Feed and...

Based upon information from another thread and a visit to their website, I'm thinking that this stuff looks pretty good. Though, have you noticed that the ingredients for the cat and dog food are REALLY similar? I'm wondering how much of this do you typically feed? I don't leave food out (the...

Actually, I DO want to know what that means! I feed Authority and since then we haven't had the stinky-kitty thing we had with Nutro nor the bladder problems we had with Iams. However, coats are not as good as I've had, but stools are fine. Hazarding a guess, I'd say the animal fat sounds...

My former street-cat, Boo, catches mice, birds and rats. Last summer brought me a rat almost as big as she is. She was rather pleased with herself about the rat. Good kitty. She brings in the occasional live mouse and drops it near Raven who has no clue what to do with it. The birds she keeps...

Thanks, I'll have a look at that link. I already have some in the house - my collie has a bit of anxiety about car trips over 10 minutes. It didn't work for beans on Sophia the collie, but I tried it on myself before I gave it to her and I didn't care about anything the rest of the day...

Well...it was a windy day at the beach - my poor hair! It'll do until I get a better one. Z~

Thanks. I've had a look now at Hissy's post on box issues. I'll give some of those possible solutions a shot and see what works. Zanna
