    Is My Cat A Purebred Ragdoll?

    At the end of the day, it is your choice and you know what is going on better. I think any good breeder is not rolling in the cash over $1,200 for a cat though. I never bred cats nor have I bought them, but paying for the care of my pet cats is not cheap. I can't imagine paying for extra tests...

    Cat Popularity

    Some countries and cultures don't consider dogs to be even pets, so... That leaves the pet dog rest of the world. No. I don't think cats will be as popular as dogs. There is something about dogs people always love, like their loyalty. Speaking for myself growing up loving dogs and always wanting...

    Indeed they are. I was impressed reading about the massive kill.

    Cats Don't Keep Mice Away??? Seriously???

    Ok well please disregard my generalization/misinformation. I have seen rats go unattended by the cat residents in neighborhood and wrongly assumed cats just aren't going after rats. My cat doesn't pay attention to kill animals larger than a chipmunk from what I have seen as well.

    Not Productive And Not Helpful

    The thing about forums I have noticed is that going to them is a lot like going to a fast food restaraunt for dinner. You go there looking for food (advice) and get bombarded with all these suggestions. (Would you like to try our new..., fries with that?) and you just say no and move on. At the...

    My Cat Is Lonely, Would Getting Another Cat Help?

    My cat was waking me up a lot. She also was not interested in her toys. She only liked chasing my kids. I was told she was an only child, but convinced my husband to get her a friend (male cat). After a long step by step intro, they are pals and play when they are both awake. Now, my new boy...

    Harness Walking

    Ah so many choices. I took my Teddy Bear outside again today and he did manage to get his legs out not on purpose but after awhile and he even jumped on top of the fence wearing it. So I dunno the vest ones looks nice but so do the H. I might have to take him for a fitting. The reviews on sizing...

    Cats Don't Keep Mice Away??? Seriously???

    I think cats deal with rats differently than mice. And that is a baby rat! At least by the picture.

    Harness Walking

    Thanks for the heads up! The harness we have does seem like he could escape if he tried. I will look into the figure 8.

    Harness Walking

    Today was the first day we took our cat on a harness outside and he seemed to like it pretty well! The harness we got looks like the most basic ones for dogs and cats from value village and it works... but does anyone have any suggestions for specific ones?

    Neighbor Upset About Cat Poop In Yard.

    I personally don't care if I find animal waste in my yard, except if it is in a bag that was very obviously thrown there! Your new neighbors don't sound very nice and volatile. Maybe you will be stuck with them for awhile. It's best to try to get along, swallow your pride and be amicable for...

    What Contradictory Things Does Your Cat Do?

    My girl Daley hisses and swats at my 7 and 2 years old if they get too close but then my 2 year old was looking at a newspaper and moving it around and Daley sat down next to her and stared at the newspaper with her. Eta: she also comes running to the kids if they cry.

    No Kill Shelters

    If I didn't grow up in the USA and read parts of this thread, I would think the whole country is like the film idiocracy. It's easy to point the finger and be judging all Americans lazy and stupid (and fat) but then there's actually doing something about the problems like it looks like OP is...

    Looking For Advice From Others That Allow Cats Outside

    All the cats I had and have are/were around squirrels and they never had a problem though my girl Daley is scared of them and won't go near them.

    Fun & Supportive Thread For Single-cat Households Only

    We had one dog growing up and then when I got older had one cat. It seemed just great. I never wanted any more because it seemed like too much work, time and money(for my parents mAinly) and kittens made me so nervous (they still do). When I got married, we adopted a "single child" cat who...

    Oopsie Pregnancy

    I definitely am in agreement with that there will not be any money made. Big money made from animals a lot of times comes from unethical backyard breeders. However, that should not stop you from finding the best homes you can. If you can't afford deworming, vaccines, etc I think free + vetting...
