    Cats and dogs

    I would call a few ads and ask why they are saying "no dogs". Some don't like hyper animals. Others may be very aggressive towards dogs. Others may have just never met a dog so they don't know how they would react.

    designing a cattery

    I've thought about it, and creating a cat training program of some sort, so I have recourse other than just saying no when people offer me money for my cats. One lady offered me $600 for my cat ?!?! She thought he was part Bengal because he has sparkly hair, and is very high energy. Go to the...

    designing a cattery

    ^^^That is the barn cat I was talking about. Also friendly to humans that belong. And a tendency to be mousers not birders.

    designing a cattery

    We have more barns and graineries than houses where I live. I can see 6 from my from door step because I live on the edge of town and the prairie is really flat  It's not the overly domesticated lazy city cats that are scared of mice and rats and do nothing except eat cat food, get their groove...

    designing a cattery

    Why not have purebred cats? If you are carefully breeding and caring for them why not also work on improving the breed too? Add an extra layer of benefit to your work. Or better yet breed actual barn cats. The kind that catch mice and rats, avoid coyotes, and are good around kids and...

    Bread, basil, and my kitties.

    Why do cats eat things like fresh bread, basil, dill, herbs in general, cooked sweet potatoes, nut butter, stinky cheese (blue, parm, etc), spinach, blackberries, avocados, and other non-carnivore foods? It's getting really annoying. They are in good health, shiny coats, energetic, great...

    How often do you gave your cat a bath?

    I bath them as needed. If they've helped in the garden or got into something sticky. I have more problems keeping the boys OUT of the tub than in it. My youngest (6 months) is a a swimmer. He loves the water!!!!! My oldest kitty (almost 10), likes to splash flicking his tail in the water and...

    What is this colour and pattern?

    The site had so many extras, golden red broken mackerel tabby for example. I wasn't sure if they were just for the purebred cats, and the moggies got off easier or what. It's a relief that they keep things simple for us. Also Leo's very broken back top half where it goes spotty confused me...

    What is this colour and pattern?

    Thanks! I'm incredibly pleased with with him. He thinks he's a little lion stalking around my house and hunting the dog, the pouncing and running off in a merry game of chase. Leo tried to befriend the other cats but one is slowing down and not interested in hours of play (but he can get in...
