2 Worst injury you've ever had?...

Oh... I dislocated both of my kneecaps at the same time. It was nasty. I was training for a horse show and was jumping one of my mother's horses. I decided to be reckless and try a really high fence. The horse stopped and I went over anyway

At first I thought I was okay. Until I couldn't stand up. I was really stupid.

3. Do you love where you live?...

It's okay. I don't particularly care for the state so much but the area I live in is alright.

4. How many TVs do you have in your house?....

There are 5 of them in the house. I always have the news on. Don't want to miss anything

5. Who is your loudest friend?...

Hands down it would be Janet. She is loud and obnoxious but has the best heart of anyone I know. I love her dearly.

6. Do you have any pets?(apart of your kitts of course

)…....

In addition to the meezers I have 2 dogs, Scraps (Maltese - rescue) and Scooter (Jack Russel/Spaniel mix - rescue) and my horse Foxy.

7. Does someone have a crush on you?...

I seriously doubt it

Thank you

Hey Cat Person

A very good question indeed! My title is Pet Nutrition Specialist. A Pet Food Nutritionist would be someone most likely working in the labs to help develop and study food ingredients, quality and production guidelines. Now that is just a guess on my part because I can not find anyplace that actually offers a degree in Pet Food Nutrition outside of a few online universities. However, I don't know if any of the 4 year colleges offer something like that. I'm guessing a degree is necessary and then you go on to become a scientist and specialize in pet nutrition.

I have gotten my qualifications from the company I work for through extensive hands on studies, testing and online courses. Nutro offers extensive educational tools which we are required to take advantage of

I do not have a degree in pet nutrition but have extensive knowledge of pet nutrition and I have not only Nutro's resources at my disposal but also that of the Waltham Center for Pet Nutrition. Nutro was the pioneer for Pet Nutrition Specialists and many other companies have followed in their footsteps.

If this is a field that interests you, my best suggestion would be to contact several pet food companies and find out what they offer in the way of jobs and education and what the qualifications are to get into such a program.

Nutro will also send us to educational seminars, workshops and conventions. I don't know how many companies will have poured the enormous amount of financial resources into an educational program but I do know that Nutro's investment in it's PNS has been mind boggling.

I hope this at least helps answer part of your quesion. I'm very open about my job so please do not hesitate to ask me anything you want to. If I can't answer I will tell you

1. What time did you get up this morning?..

5:30am sharp. Walked the dogs, fed the dogs and cats and then poured a nice hot cup of coffee. Then I took my coffee and the dogs onto the patio to enjoy a brisk, fall morning outdoors

2. What do you prefer If I gift you…Diamonds or pearls?.( just choose one, for give to a Girl).

I assume you are just talking about a gift and not anything like an engagement ring etc. With thought in mind - Diamonds are a great gift! They glitter, gleam and hint at glamor. They are a great gift to give. I love watching people's faces when they get diamonds

That said, I think i would pick a really fine string of pearls over diamonds as a gift. Pearls go beyond the superficial glimmer of diamonds and state a very personal, meaningful gift.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

"The Help" and I can strongly recommend the film. It is a hoot

4. What is your favorite TV show?

A bunch. NCIS, Dexter, The Borgias, Shameless, Mad Men, Gigolos, White Collar, Boardwalk Empire, Golden Girls, Frasier, Will and Grace and a couple of others I can't think of off hand.

5. What do you usually have for breakfast?..

A bagel and cream cheese, piece of fruit, lots of coffee and a glass of V8

6. What was the best time in your life?..

I hope I have experienced it yet

7. What food do you dislike? ..

When it comes to food there is not much I don't like. I'm not particularly fond of endive but if prepared correctly it is okay.

8. What is your favorite CD at moment?

The soundtrack for the movie "Burlesque".

9. Have you ever drive a boat?

Now that you mention it, no I have not. I've been around boats all my life but don't think I've ever taken the wheel of one. I've driven jet skis but no boats.

10. Can you Swimn?...

Sure can and love it

11. What personal characteristics do you despise?

The characteristics I dislike in others would be lying and hypocrisy. Those are 2 distinct characteristics which turn me completely off in other people.


SO you think is over?...

today the day finish until 23:59:59...

Oh, I was sure it wasn't over

Thanks you for answering my questions my friend,

...The main topic of now would be Cats and also other stuffs...

Oh Good! I loves my meezers

1.- How many cats have you ever had in your enterely life?

Just 6 cats in my entire life. 5 of the 6 are right now living in my household. I currently have 4 housecats. I currently have 1 feral cat this lives in my garage. I just checked on her and gave her a breakfast of her wet food, Nutro Natural Choice chicken. She ate her breakfast and then curled back up into her heated bed. The garage is heated also so she stays plenty warm in the winter. The 4 housecats ate their wet breakfast and are lounging in various parts of the house.

2.- could you tell us the name of the list above?

The very first cat I had was Kitty. My brother found her freezing on the front porch and brought her in. We decided to keep her. She was very young and one of our dogs, the Schnauzer (Monty), decided to raise her. Her entire life Kitty thought she was a dog

My current household is owned by Ramsey, Hoot, 'Bitz and Swiffer. The feral cat's name is Bart even though Bart is actually a she

3.- Do you have any preference about of Breeds of cats?

Hoot was my first cat that I have as an adult. She is a black DSH. However, my second cat, Ramsey is a Snowshoe and I fell in love with the breed so I joined a Showshoe rescue group. I got 'Bitz (a Snowshoe) through that group. I love Snowshoes. They are highly intelligent and very trainable. Both will play fetch, know tricks and cause general chaos in the household

They both know how to open all the doors and cabinets too. Ramsey knows how to set of the burglar alarm to get attention. Then there is Swiffer. She was supposed to be a Snowshoe. She had all the markings of a Snowshoe but she was very young when we adopted her from the rescue group. She has turned out to be a Maine Coon/Siamese mix. She is the sweetest cat ever and the most energetic

4.- Do you dream with cats when you sleeps?

Sure do! I usually have at least 3 with me when I sleep

5.- Have you ever to give catnip at your kittys to play?

Yes! They get catnip all the time. They love the stuff!

6.- Wich brand do you prefer to give at your kitty in Wet and Dry food to eat?

My kitties get wet food 2x daily and their wet food is usually Nutro Natural Choice wet in any variety. I also use other brands sometimes to give them a change in their wet diet. For dry I free feed Nutro Max Indoor chicken flavor. For treats they get feline Greenies.


7.- Would you like to work like a volunteer on a Cat shelter?

No I would not. It would be heart breaking for me. I couldn't stand seeing all the homeless kitties and would want to bring all of them home with me. Instead of volunteering, I donate money. It's the best I am able to do because I am just not emotionally wired for that kind of work.

another stuffs...

8.- Wich one is your favourite colour to wear?

Hmmm... I usually wear darker colors so I would say black, gray or navy.

9.- Do you wear earrings with shape of cat?

...

....

My left ear is pierced and at one time I did have a cat earring which I would wear now and then.


10.- do you have some shirt with stamps of cats?

I do.

11.- do you collect or you have handcraft of kittys?

I do not collect but do have some porcelain kittys.

12.- how many wallets do you have?

Just one and it is very, very old and worn. Everyone nags me to get a new one but I just can't part with old dilapidated wallet

.....I hope not boring you with my questions my friend...
