I'm glad I could be of service! I always aim to help my fellow pet owners, just because I deal with my fair share of PITAs lately. My cat, Louis, has been eating pounces like they're kitty crack. It's driving me nuts. We've been on rough terms since he kinda peed on my pillow, but we got past that apparently, considering he jumped on my lap for the first time in a year today. I'm so happy.

Good luck with your dog, ILuvJonathanTogo. Oh, and by the way. I love Jonathan Togo too!!!!!! ;)
 
I have a doggie, he's a pedigree, black and brown, Jack Russell terrier, his name is Toby and he's 5 years old. He's a cheeky little thing, he's not often allowed inside, so when he does come in, he tends to get really hyper, and start jumping on the furniture, so that's quite comical to watch. Anyway, here's a pic of him.
 
Aww thank you very much Marns, don't be fooled by the cuteness, he can be very cheeky at times. ;) :lol:
 
No fun if they aren't cheeky! :lol: Right? I love how Toby's ear is in the air. :) That's so cute.

I found a different version of the picture I've posted here before. This is my Skipper. He's a very lazy cat. :D
 
Steph, Toby looks very sweet! And Marns, has Skipper had a bit too much to drink? :lol: He looks very mellow.

Well, it's springtime again, and I'm anticipating that the raccoon who's been visiting will be back this year with more babies, looking for food like last year. This is Ellie last year telling them this is not a McDonald's drive thru! :lol:

All of the "raccoon circus" pics can be found here.
 
:lol: Yeah Marns, it is fun when they're cheeky. :D Thanks, he tends to run around with his ears in the air, I'll try and remember to get some more pics of him tommorow. Aww, now I'm not a cat person, but Skipper is a cutie.

Thanks Smokey, like I said earlier, he just looks sweet, but really he's a rascal. :lol: Aww, those racoons, are so cute, I wish we had them in Ireland. Your cat is cute too. :D

ETA: Well as promised: Some more pics of Toby. These were hard to capture, he keep running around and bouncing up and down when I tried to take them. :lol:

I was up at my Uncle's house today and he has alot of horses, only one of them was in the stable at the time though, this is Teely.

Smokey Ellie watching the raccoon is cute. And I loved your pics of them. I know how mcuh of a menace they can be as we've had them on our back deck in the winter dining out on the bird seed.

Steph you may think raccoons are cute but they can do a lot of damage. We have to make sure that our recycling green bin is securely closed each week or the will have a free meal on us and we get to clean up the mess in the morning :scream:

Oh yeah, they empty the bird feeder about every night! I hate that. But man, they're cute! I was feeding them crackers right at the door, and then of course they actually try to open the door to get in! Gotta be careful with them.
 
We actually have customers at the store feeding them cat food. I'm sure there neighbours love them for that :)

My hubby was working at the store today and he wasn't able to use his computer for a while. It seems Caramel was interested in a site he was looking at :)

Well, cats do enjoy a good lap(top)! :lol:

One of mine is lying here on the floor next to me with his hairless belly in the air. Doc says he might have a tyroid condition. Oh great. Add that to the other one's allergies and we're headed for the poorhouse! :eek:
 
Smokey that's what I'm wondering about one of our cats that keeps going bald. She's always licking herself. I haven't mentioned it to the vets yet but I will probably do it next week. I hope your guy's ok :) And didn't you realize that you work for the sole purpose of feeding and housing your cats :)

Steph my hubby and I have 6 fur kids altogether. 4 that allow us to share the house with them and 2 that run the store for us.

The home cats
Oliver Cromwell
Thomas Jefferson
Tuppence Cowley
Riley is a female

We did a blood test, so we'll know next week. At first I was just going to keep monitoring him, but then she kept talking about symptoms and everything seemed to fit, especially the nighttime restlessness (he's always all up on me during the night!) and the sudden aggression toward other cats in the house (he keeps jumping on Ellie when she's trying to drink!).

Thanks for the pics of your guys! I'll bet they're a handful! :lol:

not to mention rabies and raccoon roundworm :eek: i love them too though, when they go through our yard they are usually on the fence and dont come too close. one time a baby got left behind because he got stuck under the fence, but momma came back a few minutes later to pop him out :lol:

oh cats and computers, they are so helpful arent they? pixie just doesnt like us paying attention to anything but her. she will climb on your lap and lay down on a newspaper, book, or textbook. whatever you are trying to read at the time!
