My neighbor wants me to find homes for his kittens.
He said free to good home. So I said if they're free, I want a contract signed. If I'm advertising for them, I'm putting an option to get them spayed/neutered with a $30 non refundable deposit as well. Anything left over, is going to get the mom cat fixed.
Mike's getting pictures, genders, and age for me tonight.
We're having a disagreement. I want to get Wallie neutered and keep him over night. Mike is saying no. Derek can't keep Wallie over night. So I'm not sure what's going to happen now. You'd think having a cat for 24hrs wouldn't kill him. I'm going to discuss it more with him over the next couple days.
My betta fish, Fishy-Bob died last night. I changed his water, so I think I must have did something wrong btu I can't think of what it was. Rest in Peace Fishy-Bob

Wallie and a Raw diet
Wallie The Stray at Wal-Mart
Well we were having a lot of communication problems but I think we have everything figured out for the stray cat.
Fall is here now, so we're going to be trapping him any day now. I just need to get the funds up to get him neutered. I'm so hoping he's a male, it's a lot cheaper to get a male cat's vet work done here. I'm considering contacting SNAPS in IA, but if he's not feral they can't help me again. I still think he's a stray but he still won't come up to eat until I turn my back.
I have decided if he is a male that he will be called Wallie since he was found at Wal-Mart.
I ordered a free bag of Royal Canin cat food, you can too at Catster.com
It's crap food but it's free and that's the only way I'll fed anyone Royal Canin.
Speaking of food, I'm curious what my 4 readers feed their cats?
We're all on a BARF or raw diet. Princess only likes the pork and will try stealing our meal if we give her anything else. BeBe has been eating her share so I have to keep them separated and he needs to loose some weight now. Their fur is so soft and the white on BeBe and Damn-it is BRIGHT. It's gorgeous, I'm so happy we made the switch. Plus, it's really cheap if you do it right. We were super broke this week so I feed chicken for the most part since it's so cheap. I bought 10lbs for $5 and a couple odds and ends here and there, that fed my 3 cats and Holly for 2wks. I don't usually feed so much chicken though. I know it's tempting since it's a cheap protein source.
One thing I would watch out for,some animals are allergic to chicken and a couple other protein sources, chicken seems to be more common.
Our cats and dogs do NOT need grains, veggies, or fruits to survive. They thrive on a Barf or raw diet. Dogs can survive on those things, but they don't thrive on it. Cats cannot survive on them. They need TAURINE which is only found in meat. Heart and liver are good sources of taurine as well.
If feeding a Barf or raw diet seems like too much for you, I highly recommend Natural Balance. My cats were eating the Ultra formula and did really well on it. Holly was eating the Reduced calorie formula and did well. I didn't see much of a change in their coats though.

3 feral kittens and a shy stray
The 3 ferals have been adopted. My friend took one of them the night we caught them.
So the above picture is Pip (blue/white bicolor) and Squeak (solid blue) They were about 7wks old when we caught them.
Stray kitty, we don't have any pics of yet. My friend that works at walmart (ewwwww!) told me about this one. He wants to trap it and get it some where safe before fall hits. Not sure if he wants to keep Mr. shy kitty or not. I've been trying to call him so I can find out. He's a solid black cat. He looks like he'd be sweet as honey once he's calmed down. I don't think he's feral, acts like he's just scared.

Cheyenne Cherry... again
The Teen also stole a dog
*sigh* Where to start? So this teen seems to be really messed up. She seems to think saying "it was a joke" makes all her illegal activites okay.
She's facing a possible 10 yrs in prison. I think it's a fitting sentence, but really what good would it do? She'll get out in 10yrs and continue with this kind of behavior. I think if we send people to prison we should have someone get to the root of the problem. WHY are they commiting these crimes?
Until then, you'll get this individual off the streets for a couple years, but it's not going to solve the problem.

touching on dog behavior today
That's an article on a study done about the domiance theory.
When we adopted Duke he had aggression problems. I was told to alpha roll him, to walk in front, and some other things.
The alpha roll backfired horribly. He never picked up that he was to walk behind me.
We did control all food, treats, and toys though. He only got them if he did something for us and it helped with his training.
I think before anyone tries dominance, they should look into positive reinforcement and clicker training. Why scare your pet into listening when you can simply show them what you want?
