Declawing Cats Good or Bad?

DB @dgobucks226 (35587) 13 Jun 18

A Senator in the New Jersey legislature has sponsored a bill to declare having a cat declawed a criminal act. The legislator claims this practice is cruel and unusual to the pet. Furthermore, he states declawing is done for an...

pyewacket I'm hoping that declawing is eventually banned nationwide in America. Most other countries have banned it. It's a very cruel "procedure" to do. It's not just a case of "trimming" claws, but would be the equivalent of amputating human fingers to the first...

She is so silly!

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63594) • United States 23 Feb 18

Who? Well, Opal of course. We have a dozen different types of cat toys in the front room, since I have her locked in there at night, because I want her to be able to eat her "baby" food without any help from the older cats....

Teachers Of The Future

celticeagle @celticeagle (166830) • Boise, Idaho 21 Feb 18

In my mind's eye I see teachers of the not too distant future wearing gun straps on their person and look like detectives with the gun hidden under their jackets on a arm strap. What do you think?

I got an F grade on making the bed

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (61052) • Centralia, Washington 20 Feb 18

Notice the lumps on the bed that make my task a little more of a challenge. Note the lack of a cover or quilt. Note the comfortable fuzzy lumps. How sleepy those lumps get the moment there is a fresh sheet on the bed. I...

My myLot kitty

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63594) • United States 5 Feb 18

Back at the very end of 2007 a friend here told us about a visitor she had and how she was going to take him to the nearest Walmart and find him another home. I looked up where she lived, San Antonio, and sent her a private...

pyewacket My Ouija isn't a klutz, but he sure is a mountain climber and loves jumping up to high places, like on top of the fridge, then jumps up to the top shelf of the cabinet over the fridge

People can't read

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (47292) • St. Catharines, Ontario 6 Feb 18

I posted on kijiji today that I'm giving away a fridge, on the 16th of February. I've gotten two replies so far asking if it's still available. Of course it's still available. I'm still using it for the next 10 days, until my new...

pyewacket The ability to read really does seem to be a lost "art". Lots of times I post articles for instance over at Facebook and someone chimes in with a "What happened?" Like, duh? Read the article

Forced To View Super Bowl

PLETHOS @Plethos (13581) • United States 5 Feb 18

-Meant to post this earlier, but you know, distractions- On Super Bowl sunday my gf asked what time the game started, I told her I dont know. She was shocked, but in all honesty, I lost the urge to watch football after all...

pyewacket I'm lucky that I live alone too just as JJ@JolietJake does so I wasn't forced to watch it either. I really don't have any interest in Football to begin with. What was really disgusting...I caught the aftermath of how the "winning" team fans acted by setting...

Why do we boil lobster and crab alive? Do they feel pain?

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 5 Feb 18

In my last post, I talked about going to a fish market where they also sell fresh crab, caught out of the nearby Pacific Ocean. They have a huge crab cooker outside and since the season just opened, they are quite busy. You can...

pyewacket Years and years ago I did indeed used to eat both lobster and crab, that is until I did start reading articles that yes, they do feel pain when plunged into boiling hot water. I'm not even that much of a seafood eater now anymore either. I have a local...

Does your cat come when you call them?

snowy @snowy22315 (180558) • United States 13 Jan 18

I would say my cat comes with called about 95 percent of the time. Sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for him to get off his royal derriere and look to see what you want. His curiousity will eventually get the better of...

pyewacket That's sort of a yes and no answer for me. The thing that will get my cat running over to me like crazy is if I ask, "Do you want to eat?" or..."Are you hungry?" He definitely seems to know what the words hungry and eat mean.

Will you be watching the State of the Union address tonight?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119579) • United States 30 Jan 18

It starts at 9 pm. I, for one, will NOT be watching. It is just going to be Trump's delusional version of how he thinks his first year has gone and, well, let's face it. . . it hasn't gone well. He has the lowest 1st year...

Is it wrong to mourn a dead cat more than a dead relative?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 30 Jan 18

We have had two recent deaths in the family - my mother-in-law died two weeks ago, and our cat was put down yesterday. For my mother-in-law - who had dementia and was in constant pain from spinal cancer - it was a happy release....

pyewacket I actually feel more grief when one of my "babies" has passed on also...meaning one of my cats. I've had cats since I was about five years old, I'm now 62, so I've had many "deaths" in the family. Our pets give us unconditional love in such a way that a...

Bedtime Routine With Cats

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 21 Jan 18

Every night when I go to bed it isn't long before a cat shows up. First it will be Kiddoe who will cuddle up next to me and start cleaning her head. After awhile she leaves and another cat jumps on the bed. Lep, the twenty...
