I agree, some owners seem to think their ankle bitters are cute. I think it’s ALL on the owners to train their dogs.Yeah, and I like dogs. We currently have our rescue dog Cora, but have had others. And not all small dogs are nine iron or puntable dogs. I just can’t wrap my head around some of the super inbred ones that are dumb as a freaking post, incapable of doing anything other then running in circles or foaming at the mouth while yipping and barking and snarling. Not every dog is or needs to be a Rhodes Scholar, but geez, some of those dogs are good for nothing while annoying everyone else around them other then their owner.
Still have 3 turkeys??We have lots of pets also. We have a Dog, Cat, 3 Turkeys, 3 Ducks and about 17 chickens...
Yep a Tom and 2 hens... They are pets, the one in the oven not so much.....Still have 3 turkeys??
That about sums it up !!We have a long dog thread but I haven’t seen one for cats. I’m in a weird position where I would happily live without any animals but I’ll help or feed whichever ones come my way. So I may look like a cat/dog/insert_species_here guy but I’m more of a ‘oh you poor mofo’ guy.
Anyway besides the ones in my house that I consider my official cats (loooong story there) I feed a bunch in the neighborhood too and if something is bad enough provide medical intervention or take them indoors. The neat crossover with a B body is besides my post in the Dogs thread where I was at the right place right time because I was doing something Coronet specific, is that neighbor of mine who I’ve hardly ever spoken too for 20+ yrs, just waved at most, started talking to me A LOT about the Coronet. He then asked if I could check something in his car so I go down there, see cat food in his driveway and a bunch of strays I’ve never seen, so I thought I was the only one on this street but I’m not. Since he’s kind to animals I tried to help him with his issue the best I could.
This is a worthless start to a thread without a pic, and I could offer a million, but I’ll go with this guy who recently started showing up for food. I call him Mr Po after Master Po from Kung Fu. If you know you know. He’s partially blind and right away reminded me of the character. Other than a small scratch that I’m monitoring and being blind he seems healthy and by his weight has other food options too. But if he shows up he gets a can.

Its not ideal but its not the end of the world either, even if its rushed they usually figure it out eventually. Unless the adults cats are super jerks they won't hurt the kittens, they in my experience, seem to know. I would get them checked for anything contagious ASAP tho. A little hissing and the occasional smack is also normal, the kitten may just take a submissive posture to speed things along. Just hang out with the group of cats and play with them to help grease the wheels.I have 3 cats, 2 male and 1 female. I had them now for about 3 to 4 years. I’m looking for some input here because I just got 2 little kittens on Saturday night from a friend. 1 male, and 1 female. They are currently 8 to 9 weeks old, and they have not been to the vet yet. They are running the downstairs. Our old cats have been terrified since we got the kittens and have been hiding upstairs in my moms’ and stepdads’ room, and we’ve had to carry them downstairs to eat and use the facilities. My stepdad closed the door on them today and he says “they’re going to go downstairs I’m sick of it, I’m not carrying them downstairs their going to have to meet them”, basically forcing them out of the room and downstairs when they don’t want to. I read that this is the wrong thing to do because it takes time, and my stepdad is VERY impatient which explains why he was never a father. One of the cats already hissed at one of the kittens 3 times now. Anyone have any input? A friend tells me that they are supposed to be separated in another room and to have the old cats smell the kittens scent on something like an old rag or t-shirt. I would REALLY HATE to get rid of the kittens if they can’t all get along, I love them too much as unmanly as that may sound.
I have no experience with those, maybe someone else can chime in. Be cool if they help.May I add that we put pheromone dispensers in 2 of our power outlets
I think this might be one of the best ideas, it could help take their mind off things alot. Thanks for your comment and ideas.Just hang out with the group of cats and play with them to help grease the wheels.
YW! Let us know how it goes, plus pics don't hurt!I think this might be one of the best ideas, it could help take their mind off things alot. Thanks for your comment and ideas.
Its a long story but we got our adult cats first before our other now 3 year old young cat, and when we got our 3 year old when the adults were already here… we used those dispensers. My opinion is that it did not totally help any at first, although my mom and stepdad think otherwise. They seem to do better now though.I have no experience with those, maybe someone else can chime in. Be cool if they help.
I just think my stepdad is TOOO anxious and in a hurry to have them all connect with each other thats all, and I don’t agree with it. Heres a couple pictures of the 2 littles ones we got on Saturday night….pics don't hurt!
