The Cats Bed

Getting rid of bedroom furniture new york? This might be an ad that I would place if I were my Mom and I lived closer to the city. When my parents travel I generally take care of their pets. Recently, I went to my Moms to let the dogs out. Her cat, who usually doesn’t bother with me, came and sat next to me and let me pet him for a while and was purring. This cat is funny in a number of ways, one of which being because he will usually only sleep on a bed. But, he won’t always go on my Mom’s bed if the dog is on it, so he goes into the spare bedroom and lies down there. My Mom mentioned she was thinking about getting rid of the furniture in that spare room and putting other things in there, but decided to wait a bit rather then upset the cat since he’s getting really old. My cats have always slept anywhere they wanted, including a bed, couch, chair, and the floor. I’ve never had a cat that would only sleep in one place. Where does your cat sleep?

Do Pets Prefer Owners Of The Same Or Opposite Sex?

Do you have a preference if your pet is a male or female? I prefer male cats. Why? Because every male cat we’ve ever had has bonded well with me and been closer with me than anyone else in the family. Every female cat we’ve had has preferred RB (my husband). The same applies with the dogs that we have. I don’t know if it’s because of a difference in hgh or other hormones or what it is. My friends are split pretty evenly on the question. So what are your thoughts? Do you find that pets you’ve had have bonded more closely with a person of the same or opposite sex?

Pet Truths

Some self-evident truths about pets…

Buy a dog a toy and it will play with it forever. Buy a cat a present and it will play with the wrapper for 10 minutes.

Although cats are rather delicate creatures, and they are subject to a good many ailments, I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

Dogs and cats instinctively know the exact moment their owners will wake up. Then they wake them 10 minutes sooner.

Dog’s have owners. Cat’s have staff.

Dogs shed, cats shred.

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult?

No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.

Outside of a dog, a book is probably man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.

I hope to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.

People that hate cats will come back as dogs in their next life.

We wonder why the dogs always drink out of our toilets, but look at it from their point of view: Why do humans keep peeing into their water bowls?

Women and cats will do as they please… men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

When a man’s best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem.

In order to keep a true perspective of one’s importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.

Who Barks At Your Door?

Does your dog react to different sounds? My Mom’s dog, a Boxer, always barks like crazy when their door chime sounds. Now that’s not all that unusual, a dog marking at the door. What is unusual is that years ago when my youngest  son was very little he used to bark when he heard it ring as well. He heard the dog bark at the door so often that he thought it was the thing to do. He doesn’t do it anymore, which we’re really happy about.Who barks when someone’s at your door?

Doghouses Of Steel

You know wood buildings are pretty expensive. I’ve seen commercials and advertisements for steel buildings that say they’re a lot less expensive. We had a heck of a time finding the right size doghouse when we had a dog, which got me to thinking. I wonder if they make steel doghouses. I’d think they’d hold up to doggie wear and tear better than wood ones, and would probably be easier to clean too. What do you think?

A Cool Bed

One of the best things about shopping online is the variety. It’s huge! Take pet beds, for example. I’ve only seen your typical beds – big cushiony pillows and such. Jeffers carries beds designed to warm and cool your pet. They have a bed called the Cool Bed III that reminds me of a giant aquadoodle. You put water in it and it not only cools your pet, it also helps conditions like arthritis and hip dysplasia. How cool is that! (pun intended.) What does your pet sleep on?

Pet Acne

I never knew household pets could have acne. While surfing the web today I actually found articles indicating that cats can get acne. The information on PetPlace said it’s rather common and that it’s a lifelong condition limited to the chin and lips, and that it is diagnosed and treated by a vet. For dogs, it’s also limited to the chin and lips but is only from a few months old to about a year. I’ve never seen any over the counter acne solutions for pets in the store. Have you ever had a pet with acne?

Dogs Aren’t The Only Animal That Make People Happy

Did you ever notice that pictures intended to portray happy, healthy people frequently include a dog? I was on a site offering quotes for bcbsnc when I realized this.  Why don’t we see more pictures in ads showing cats? The feel and sound of a cat purring is absolutely amazing, as any cat lover will tell you. And it’s also been proven that they can have a very positive effect on a person’s health. I want to see more cats!

Contemplating Changing Rennie’s Food

Rennie looks like she’s lost some weight again. She’s always been on the thin side but right now she’s looking like she’s taken phentermine diet pills for kitties. It’s only just starting to get hot here and flea season isn’t hopping (ha ha) yet. She doesn’t much like the dry food. She really loves the wet. I usually mix the dry and wet foods together but I’ve caught her literally moving the dry food around so she only gets the wet. I think I’m going to put her back on the kitty vitamins. I hate to start messing with the dry food at the risk of causing other problems. I’ve fed them Purina Kitten Chow since I got them. I guess I’ll try and find a box to try just for her.
