Alright I’ll do it ma. Jes’. Always bothering me to do stuff for ya. God..Why can’t you ask Charles to do it? (Charles is Biff’s brother) Ma? Why can’t you ask Charles to do it? How come I always have to be the one to clean up the dogs poop in the yeard? He never does it!

I know it’s my dog but everybody plays with Sheba so why shouldn’t everybody chip in to clean up her poop? It’s not fair ma and you know it. Then nobody is allowed to pet her. If nobody wants to clean her poop up, then nobody is allowed to pet her.

You can’t return Sheba ma! Come on! Alright, alright I’ll clean up her poop but I still think that this isn’t fair. No, ma! I said I’m gonna clean it. I’m cleaning it now! Just putting on my sneakers.

You happy???

After sadly losing our Squack, a lovebird, my husband and I did not think of any other pets. Then one day in the Boca News there was a picture of the most beautiful little dog I’ve ever seen. I told my husband that guy is ours. Well, that guy was from a pet mill and Miami Rescue had picked him and several of his friends and relatives away from those awful people. Unfortunately, that picture was very deceiving. Read the rest of this entry »

Can cats talk? Many cat owners would like to think so and some even claim that their cats speak a number of recognisable words. A Brazilian cat takes claims one step further by apparently being able to sing a number of well known songs while the Fortean Times carried a report of a cat which speaks several words in Turkish and suggested, with tongue firmly in cheek, that the reason many owners cannot understand their cats is because the cats are speaking Turkish. But before cat-owners rush out for phrase books, are these cats really speaking or are their owners just talking turkey?

For humans, the terms ’speech’ and ‘talk’ are not restricted to vocalization, but encompass human body language (which most of us read without realising it), gestural languages (sign language) and tactile languages (of deaf-blind individuals) which are equally expressive among those fluent in their use. Further, human language comprises both verbal and non-verbal components (including the written extension of body language through gestural substitutes such as the , symbols within Internet communication).

Scrapper arrived with Kitty I in 1988. He was a big tough ex-feral trapped and snipped aged 10. He had beaten up other cats in the area, but was now down on his luck. He must have been a pet originally and been allowed to stray and go wild. Neutered, cured of fleas, ringworm and a variety of fight and bite wounds, he had sat in the cat shelter for many months awaiting a person who looked beyond his mangled features.
He was a black cat but rather dusty and motheaten. Scrapper sat forlornly in a cat basket for several days, unwilling to leave it while we were there. After a week he suddenly decided that enough was enough and came to watch Blue Peter with me on the sofa. From then on he was my little black shadow and walked to heel! Read the rest of this entry »

Shed your pet allergies now!

That’s why many of us watched closely last fall as the first “hypoallergenic cats” were delivered to their owners. One was so pleased by her no-wheeze, no-sneeze pet that she sang its praises on national television. The others aren’t talking. Perhaps the price left them speechless: Each cat now costs $5,950 plus a $995 processing fee. Read the rest of this entry »

Inside the cells of every pet cat lies a history book, a story detailing the journey from the wilds of Asia to the comforts of a windowsill perch.

Combining the fields of genetics and archeology, scientists have cracked open the book to find that cat domestication occurred near the beginning of human civilization, long before many previous archeological estimates. The circumstances of this early association between man and cat may explain the friendly but tenuous truce between felines and humans.

Published Friday in the journal Science, the research used DNA from modern house cats to trace the origin of domestic cats back to a specific time and region thatcoincided with the settlement of humans in the Middle East region known as the Fertile Crescent. Read the rest of this entry »
