A few light blood smears appeared and I saw the tip of a tail which I pinned to the porch with the toe of my shoe. A strong yank and a small garter snake popped out from beneath the storm door. Evidently Thumper had chased or caught a snake on the porch and in its effort to get away it escaped under door. |

He used to get on the bed and thump when he jumped down. If he 'glided' off the bed silently I knew a mouse had come into the basement with winter coming on. Maybe half to an hour later he would return and share his winnings with me. Nothing worse than a dead mouse at 4 a.m. on the duvet. |

Lol ! We get garter snakes here and I remember years ago my son dropping one on the kitchen floor, grabbing it, handing it to him and telling him to take it to the garden. To this day the boy with him still remembers the 'Mother who handled the garter snake' - he and my son are in their 50s now, what a reputation. |

But the cats and pit bull that lived two doors from me seem to have dramatically thinned them out. I rarely see one now. |

I also think getting animals from a breeder, encouraging them to breed more, is wrong when there are already too many cats and dogs looking for a home. == Yes, too many animals are desperate for homes. I would never buy from a breeder. I would love to take them all, but look what happened to the woman who had my Poppy All we can do is encourage people to look at rescue centres. |

Kangaroo and lentils. These are just a few of the spectacularly popular selections of grain-free dog food that have deluged the pet food market in recent years. Dense with exotic proteins, teeming with legumes favored by health-conscious humans, they are promoted as delicious as well as nutritious better for gluten-sensitive bellies, closer to the ancestral, protein-rich diets of the Yorkies savage forebears. But earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration announced that it is investigating a link between these diets and a common type of canine heart disease. The condition is dilated cardiomyopathy, or D.C.M., in which the heart weakens and becomes enlarged. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty breathing, coughing and fainting. Some dogs can abruptly go into heart failure. D.C.M. is typically seen in large breed dogs that have a genetic predisposition for it, like Doberman pinschers, Irish wolfhounds, boxers and Great Danes. But CVCA, a practice of 19 veterinary cardiologists in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area, alerted the F.D.A. that it has been seeing D.C.M. among other breeds, including golden retrievers, doodle mixes, Labrador retrievers and Shih Tzus. |

Thanks, Ed, that sound like something to take seriously. I guess it doesn't necessarily apply to cats as well. Ours get fed 3 times a day, 2 of which are grain free. |

If people have a problem with the claws, they can get a goldfish. |

I would never buy from a >breeder. I would love to take them all, but look what happened to the woman >who had my Poppy > >All we can do is encourage people to look at rescue centres. It's amazing how many never get a dog/cat fixed and then let them roam... they call them "indoor outdoor" pets. Too many don't have them given shots either. I call them short lived. Where I live there are many preditors, a house cat can't survive long outdoors, dogs hardly last 24 hours. Only truly feral cats can live a long life outdoors. There is no such thing as an indoor outdoor cat, indoor cats don't have the survival skills to live outdoors, nor do they have the physical ability, those couch potatoes are much too soft. |

I sorta was hoping that she'd follow me in but no such luck. When I looked back, the beast was still laying down without a care in the world so I closed the door so she would know that I really meant business. When I opened the door a few seconds later to check if she had decided to come in, she was gone. In the war of wills, the cat has bested me yet again. That's just infuriating. |

Front claws along with the back ones are used for climbing. Front claws only, as far as I know, for defense. When they get a toy they will lay on the floor, on their back, and use the back feet to peddle. Wrestling with you they will also use those back feet and back claws to peddle on your skin and SCRATCH. Twenty-six video showing a cat peddling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yhr0ZUYCSM |
