Let them run outside when there's several inches of fresh snow on the ground, and its below freezing... That's what happened to us (accidentally).  Murdoch snuck out when a friend came over one evening and we didn't notice until about 15 minutes later because he wasn't harassing the new person...

Freeze dried pineapple is pretty good too.  And freeze dried strawberries... they're my favourite part of Special K Redberry. I prefer fresh fruit most of the time, but frozen (and thawed) raspberries or peaches over vanilla ice cream are one of my favourite desserts though.  Yum.  I always...

I'm having the same problem... My cat is biting completely out of the blue, its getting worse - its not just unhappy biting, its becoming full-on mauling.  Currently when it happens, the only way to get him off is to scruff him, he then gets a time-out for 5-10 minutes.  Seriously, I do not know...

I've searched and read through some of the past threads about people chewing.  My cat, Murdoch (10 mon old neutered male) loves chewing.  He chews on his dental chew toy made of canvas "strings", he chews on the rubberized zipper pull on my hoodies, he chews on the carpet on his cat condo, he...
