Pet Pic of the Day: Rocky Plays Pretend

PetSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:30:00 -0800

Did you ever play pretend when you were a kid? I don't know if it was because I was an only child, but I made up all kinds of stories and adventures in my head. So when I saw this photo of Rocky in the window, I figured he was also playing pretend. My imagination tells me he's either been falsely accused of a crime and is waiting for his appeal in jail, or he's looking out of a boat porthole as he makes his way to a far off city. See? I told you I have a big imagination.

It's only a few more hours until my own belly is full with turkey and stuffing leftovers, and I'm doing the same thing Cheechoo is doing here — taking a nice, long catnap.

Interspecies Lovin'

Step right up for the fight of the century — it's dog and cat wrasslin'! These two are like siblings. Plus, the cat doesn't seem to know what she wants. One minute, she's licking the dog's nose, the next, she's batting his head with her paw. Cats!

Broke Cat Mountain

There's a reason the expression "herding cats" denotes a difficult-to-impossible activity. But these cowboys have mastered the art. Watch for the cowboy rolling up a ball of yarn. (You almost forget this is a commercial, it's so entertaining!)

To the Rescue: Two Bathing Alternatives For Kitty Allergy Relief

PetSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:15:00 -0800

I've definitely heard conflicting advice when it comes to dealing with cat allergies. While some recommend washing a pet to reduce the amount of allergens released into the air, others say that bathing will cause her to lick herself more . . . thus increasing the amount of allergy-causing saliva on her coat. Since coaxing a cat into a tub doesn't sound like fun no matter what, here are two other ways to combat this problem.
While having someone comb your pet frequently and properly dispose of the hair is a good way to limit the flying fur on your furniture, taking a damp micro fiber cloth and rubbing down the cat's coat can help get rid of visible dander and pick up stray hairs, too.

To hear of the product to apply straight to the coat,

I Need Your Help . . . Parents Just Don't Understand Cat's Needs

PetSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 04:30:05 -0800

A pal at Sugar HQ recently came to me with a problem, not with her own kitties, but with cats belonging to her parents. Seems like mom and dad want to let the felines roam free, but that's resulted in two cats in two years – kitty no. 1 ran off and got hit by a car and now kitty no. 2 (seen below) has been missing for a month.

Cecil's definitely a looker and could have easily found a new family on one of his outdoor adventures! She writes:

I begged my parents to let their pets be indoor cats and now that they want to get yet another cat, I don't know what I can say to get through to them. Any suggestions for what I can do to get them to keep their kitties indoors especially with cars and coyotes all over the place?
