Adding a Dog to a Cat Household
April 1, 2010 — by BeaCats, Dogs
Last week I wrote about adding another cat to a family who already has a cat. While adding another cat could be hard, what is even more difficult is to add a dog to a home that already has a cat. A cat on cat interaction is one in which the two cats both understand their different views on who is boss, but a dog on cat relationship could be related to the clashing of two worlds. Adding a cat to a dog household is usually much simpler. Why? Well, it is because dogs are animals that work...
Adding a Second Cat to the Family
March 25, 2010 — by BeaCats, Pet Adoption
My family owns a hefty 14 year old cat who weighs about the same value in pounds. She used to be a bundle of energy and never would sit down on your lap for more than 30 seconds, but over the years she has mellowed out.

The best way to prevent any of these situations is to...

Having a pet or two brings a tremendous amount of joy into our lives. Walking a dog or playing with a cat benefits both the owner and pet in a variety of ways. But there will be times, however, when your beloved fuzzy pal does something that is either annoying (like jumping on counters) or even dangerous. These are the times that a little discipline will come in handy. First off, it's important to know that you should never, ever hit an animal as a form of punishment. It's not only cruel, but it can harm your pet physically....
Tips for Feeding Your Finicky Feline
February 25, 2010 — by PattiCats
If you have a finicky cat, then you are not alone. There are many cats that are extremely fussy about what they will and will not eat! Consider this to be a feline fact of life that you have to accept and find ways to deal with.
Cats enjoy variety in the foods they eat and in their daily menu as much as people do. They also like fresh food and eating frequently. In fact, as a cat owner, you have to learn to say no to them sometimes even though you may melt at the sight of those sweet...
