Why do you think most people started using human names for their pets?

tinym8 @tinym8 (420) • United States 26 Apr 13

In the past, we were familiar with having pets named after such things as their disposition or their fur color. For example, dogs were called such names as Smokey or Mischief or Happy and cats might be Fluffy or Princess. Now...

bellis716 Maybe one of those hairless cats would not aggravate your husband's allergy. I'm afraid that they might be expensive. Also, personally, I find them ugly. I'd probably change my mind about that, if I ever had one, though.

bellis716 Our last 2 cats came from our local animal shelter. Before that, our cats came from friends or neighbors. One was thrust upon us at a very inconvenient time. For some reason, a co-worker asked us to take care of his female cat. Within a very short time,...

bellis716 Since humans are having fewer children, our pets have taken the place of children. Our last cat was "Sleepy". The one before that was "Johnny Cat", after a brand of cat litter.

bellis716 I hope you learned your lesson to not loan anthing of value to anyone. If your friends friendship, you should consider the money a gift, but don't loan her anything else. She is not trustworthy.

bellis716 That guy is carrying jealousy to the limit. I don't call that love. It's about control. Of course, he'll actually have no control over his wife after he's dead. On second thought, if he has money, he could control that via his will. Still think he's a...

Have you ever given your cat a bath?

ctryhnny @ctryhnny (3460) • United States 24 Apr 13

I realize cats do a good job at cleaning themselves but I think they should also get a real bath in soap and water. I haven't tried it yet but am considering it. My cats look clean enough and have very shiny coats. I was in the...

bellis716 There are a few breeds of cats that like water, but most dislike it. Probably one could train a cat to submit to be bathed with soap and water, but one would have to start when they are small kittens.

bellis716 I probably would not have had any problem lending the book, but my attitude regarding books is different from yours. In your case, I believe that announcing up front that you do not lend books is the best policy.
