Talk about role reversals... Whenever our dogs have come into contact with any of our cats there is certain behavior we typically expect. Especially when they haven't been around the cat in awhile it is common to see them licking their lips. (If they had lips.) We try to discourage this, as...

Kind of interesting. What will they think of next?

I'd be surprized a book that sounds that poorly written would get published. I'm not though. The publishers probably thought the title would intrigue Braun and cat fans alike and therefore make a profit. I hadn't heard of the story, but if I come across it I'll know it's not worth my time.

Thanks everyone for your advice. You've all given me a lot of food for thought. When I had my mom read the state laws regarding cats, she wasn't very happy, now I've just got to convince her of the merits of approaching our neighbors.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I wish that we had known some of these laws a long time ago. The previous owners of our house gave us their cat because they were moving back east. She was spayed and tame, but in the warmer months she would disappear for weeks at a time and return hungry and...

Never bought on e-bay, although I have from their sister site, half.com or halfbay or whatever it is called. I have heard lots of good and bad stories about e-bay and just haven't dared to try it myself. Hope you stomp out your addiction or find a new outlet. (forgive that pun)

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this... Does anyone know anything about laws relating to trapping cats. We live in the country in the mountains. Our neighbor periodically calls animal control to request a cat trap. We have a bad history with our neighbors :witch: and our county...

Funny and cute. Any more rules?

I'm assuming they're catnip filled mice, because that would be kind of gross to find 45 "real" mice (dead or not).

It is. I really enjoyed those stories when I was younger, too. They are a good example of allegory and probably C.S. Lewis' easiest books to understand. In high school I tried reading his book, The Screwtape Letters, but just couldn't stick with it. But, back to the Chronicles of Narnia-if...

I just finished reading, The Speed of Light, by Elizabeth Rosner. It is told from 3 different characters point of view. The typeface is different for each character, so you know who is telling the story when it switches back and forth. It is a well written story, covering some serious issues in...

I just read the first thread you started SuzieK. I saw that a_loveless_gem said she never had helmets on her altered cats. That reminded me that when I had Mozart neutered, the vet told me he wouldn't need an e-collar because he wouldn't have any stitches. Anyone about to neuter their cat...

I have had the same problem with dogs and the e-collars. I didn't find a good solution for them. But, my cat Mozart recently had paw surgery. When I removed the bandage he started licking the site and he wouldn't stop. I tried distracting him with movement and cat toys and that didn't work. What...

About the microchip... your vet can do that for you. It is usually insert by a syringe. The chip is coded to a database that will identify the cat as yours. Many animal shelters now scan animals when they come in, to check for the chip to identify the owner. I believe most microchip databases...

I have just a flea & tick collar on Mozart. We can get ticks pretty bad where I live. (fleas don't seem to be a concern) I did consider buying him a harness and leash, somewhat for use when I take him to the vet or have to travel with him. (That way I could let him out of his carrier to go potty...

Does that $60 cover EVERYTHING? Hair, nails, expressing anal glands, teeth, extra pampering, a bow in his hair, etc. If he's asking $60, he better not only know to use the safe shampoo, but use a top of the line brand. Or do they charge per tangled hairball?
