Pet Monologues

Winding down a pleasant day when this post found its way here. The story provided by The reality of what humans do needs few words from us. Their post “a picture worth a thousand words” is compelling. Visit their site for a more complete story.

The graphic picture shows the grim reality of pet over-population. The photo caption reads: Two days’ worth of euthanized animals sit in barrels in cold storage at the Kern County Animal Shelter on Mount Vernon Avenue. The small animal shelter euthanizes about 25,000 animals every year.

Stories like this are difficult to report. But with dialog solutions come easier. Here are two more posts that mention the issue of neutering at lady omega and animals as friends

The cat’s tongue…

When our cat scarfs his moist food placed on his chrome Wetnoz serving-plate, the surface looks like a mirror. There is nothing left, just a haze-free shine. You could not get the same results with sandpaper, yet that is what his tongue can feel like on your face in the middle of the night.

A Grooming Tool and More
A cat’s ability to groom itself is the result of numerous knobs called papillae on the surface of a cat’s tongue.

Can this be done? Anyone?

citikitty

Are you sick of cleaning out litter boxes or wanting to show off fluffy’s party manners? Anyone feel this is a little too much information for the cat?

We are reminded that Robert DeNiro trained Jinxey. Until we know more, we are just the messenger here.

The above information assumes a new product and the following is the old fashioned way which may assume a therapist. Read the rest of this entry »
