outdoor cat

Is it really that bad to have an inside/outside cat? I know everyone here is totally against it, but this sucker is fast and evil! He got out today when I was going to start the car before leaving for work and instantly ran where I couldn't get him. When I came back out he was in front of the...

I found a stay today, it looks like a female, I will not disturb her too much tonight as I was cutting some sticky buds from her tail but she is very dirty and very hungry. I seen her just today and she was nervous but I fed her outside as I was on the way out, then she came back so I knew she...

Some people just really get to me. its like how ****ed up can you be? We went and looked at some houses today, one we went to had a little male dog in the back yard, the Realtor and Davids mom both said he was a corgi, i think he might have been a mix tho, cuz he seemed smaller than most...

My neighbor had a robins nest in his bushes in front of his house. He is a complete bird lover and said he checked the nest every morning for the last 3 weeks. He noticed that a robin would perch on one of their hanging baskets and just watch the nest. Well this morning the nest was empty. He...

Hello I am new to the board and for the past two or so months I have been trying to find a home for Negra. Negra is about 2 yrs old, litter box trained, loves to be petted and loves treats. She came to my house and I took her in March because she was going to have a kitten. She had her kitten...

Hey there. I'm thinking of moving to one of these two places - Boston or NYC. I've been to NYC but never to Boston. Either way, information is needed. :) Especially on living conditions. Keep in mind that I have two small dogs and one indoor/outdoor cat that needs a cat/doggy door (he...

My cat is just... terribly behaved. I can train my dog, but the cat? I have no idea! Let's start with the fact that he needs a TON of exercise, but I can't get him to move at all. He is grossly overweight, but I can't exactly take him for a walk. Usually, he comes over, snuggles with me for a...

So, I took this cat from my sisters house today. She was an outdoor cat, who they never fed and never got spayed. Her name is "Football" because my sisters husband (whom I hate) kicks her around. They think this is sooo funny! While hearing this, I'm about to cry and scream at the same time...

I think it's time to work off some of the Thanksgiving dinner with a good debate: This article is on the Houston Chronical News Site. What are your feelings on this? Before you decide, you might want to take into consideration that Galveston Island, because it is an island, iis one of the...

Hello Everyone! I'm new here and I'm really enjoying your posts. I had originally posted this under a question about indoor/outdoor cats in the gereral pet discussion, but thought that it would be a great topic to discuss here. I thought that it would be fun for everyone to share their...

I am always hearing that dalmations are aggressive and very active,high strung dogs.However I always meet dalmations in the street and they are highly affectionate and VERY friendly dogs.They do seem to be high energy dogs,but I never see any that are aggressive.I know a few of you either have...

for 3 weeks my Papa has tried to catch this small stray pup that has been staying in his yard for safety...well 3 days ago he caught the little guy...and fell in love with the silly boy :) he has asked all the neighbors if they recognize him, so far nope...he lives further in the country so as...

I would very much like everyone's opinions on having a cat as an indoor vs outdoor pet. We recently suffered the loss of our very much beloved cat Halo, who was an outdoor cat. In other words he was allowed to roam around freely yet still spent a lot of time inside also. Anyway, I am thinking...

Here are a few pics of Bit and Yazi that I got yesterday afternoon. Sorry the quality's not very good, but it's what I've got. *shrugs* This is Yazi sitting on a box by our garage. Another one of Yazi on the box. Yazi, thinking of climbing down from the box. And Yazi telling me to put...

I didn't see any threads on this so I thought I'd start one. Do you have any weird things your pets do all the time? I thought it would be really interesting to see some of them from you guys. I have lots to share but I'll just start with one. My cat, Toby always "spins" the water dish to see...

...okay. So my question is... say someone was looking into buying a cat. What breed of cat would you recommend to be the most playful, friendly, social and one that likes to bond? Also, preferably an indoor cat. I was thinking about buying a cat sooner or later but would hate to take the risk of...
