cats

You've been planning your vacation all year, but your cat may not be as excited as you are to have you away from home. Although many people believe cats prefer to be on their own, kitties get lonely and can become anxious when their surroundings change. As a responsible pet owner, you will want to make sure your kitty is safely and comfortably cared for while you're on vacation.

Hi, everyone.

My name is Mandy and I recently became a dog owner a little over a year ago.

I was only just looking when I stumbled across an ad that said Wheaten/Schnauzer cross for free.

He was 18 mths and you never, ever get a dog that young for free. So I called.

The breeder who had a farm needed to get rid of him because he was disruptive to her other dogs. He put one in the hospital while they were fighting over females.

She told me he came from a long line of fearful, nervous dogs and she tried to sell him 4 times and he kept getting brought back.

Then this woman told me that if she couldn't get rid of him she was going to have him destroyed.

Hi, everyone. My name is Diana Beuchert and I'm happy to have found like minded people to chat with! I am the proud servant to six cats, one dog and ten horses. I am a professional Animal Communicator and a horse trainer. I also board horses and teach riding lessons out of my 14 acre farm. I own and operate an Equestrian Theatre and we give performances for the public several times a year (when the economy is good). For the past year, we've been doing birthday parties for little kids, which is wildly popular due to the extreme gentleness and beauty of my Andalusian horses.
I look forward to talking with lots of you!
Diana

Imagine eating the same diet from infancy all the way through adulthood? As we move through life our needs keep changing – from the amount of calories we must take in to the balance of nutrients that keep us healthy.

“Our pets have similar needs,” says Dr. Mike Bondar, Veterinarian and Host of Animal House Radio.

If you love your pet cat very much and want to provide the best for it, then make sure to get the best cat litter for it. This is as much important as providing good food and shelter to your feline. Cats can be very choosy about the litter they use and so one must make sure to provide them with the best one possible. Finding the best one in the market can be a tough job especially when your local pet store is flooded with dozens of varieties of cat litter.

We expect certain changes to occur in an animal's body as the animal ages. These changes may not be the same in each animal species. In some animals (e.g.; toy breeds of dogs) changes in the heart are common, whereas in other animals (cats), the kidneys may be one of the first organs to show signs of aging. We can help older animals to adapt to these changes in a variety of ways: diagnosing problems early, use of appropriate medications and supplements, modifying the cat's environment, and changing the way in which we interact with our older friends. Change in nutritional needs

As dogs age, their metabolism changes and their need for calories decreases.

I was in Louisiana. I had just lost my beloved cat of 19 years and was in mourning. I had a large, large yard... about the size of a football field with a 4-foot chain link fence. For 5 months I was feeding 3 feral cats, one mother cat and her two babies. I had been trying unsuccessfully to capture them to take them to vets and a no-kill facility to be adopted.

One lovely summer afternoon, I was sitting in a chair in my yard reading when one of the little ones, a tiny little thing, began to climb the fence! I was stunned. I watched as she struggled to get over the huge fence, falling down several times until she reached the top and fell over on my side of the fence.
