The Cat Lady of Baghdad: www.baghdadcatrescue.com
With all the horrible news about the Marine who killed a puppy on camera a few months back, I thought I'd share this lovely article about a British woman who rescues cats in Iraq.

Do Cats Belong Outside, Unsupervised?
I hear a lot of people on this forum say that it is "natural" and "instinctual" for their cats and dogs to roam freely outdoors. As this forum is dedicated to the PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, I'd like to give my perspective on this, by telling my story as a volunteer for the ASPCA, and why I believe letting cats (or dogs) run unsupervised and alone outdoors in the name of "instinct" is so very wrong.
In 2006, I fostered 3 litters of kittens for the ASPCA. The first mother (6 months old) wa… Continue

Online Petitions: Real Action, or Feel-Good "Slacktivism"?
As an animal rights activist, I receive at least 3 requests in my email every day requesting my signature on e-petitions. Save the whales, the seals, bounties on stray cats in Iowa, stop BSL, you name it, I've gotten a request for my signature on it. And every one of these causes is indeed worthy of any animal lover's attention and should be acted upon immediately. But I believe signing a petition on the internet is basically worthless, other than making a person feel better, like they "did some… Continue

I agree with you, declawing your cat is really a bad thing to do but is mostly painful for the cat. I have two cats and one of them likes to scratch almost everything from furniture to curtains. My boyfriend told me to declaw her but I said "no way" It is like taking off a human fingers. So we agree on something else that was more humane for my kiddies "soft paws". Anyway thank u for telling everybody not to declaw their cat.

- Hi Cynthia, there are two postings of people who have questions regarding fostering/rehoming cats. Could you check your old discussion regarding fostering cats with behavior problems?
Thanks.

Yes, truly amazing - it happens - dogs abandoned, helpless on the mean streets of our cities and dumped off on rural roads, left terrified, betrayed --they form bonds and when one is injured, killed - I have seen evidence - how they stay, despite ...

I value it too. YOu know that was when I got started on here, asking you and others about a proper diet for Delilah. I am so glad I did. You all confirmed what I ahd researched and gave me first hand experiences of the foods I was about to try. I ...
Lyssa... I gave her my suggestion. She needs to get both dogs into obedience training with her as the handler. They will train her in defining her role as alpha. I thought I made that fairly clear in my post, but I guess not.
Also, it would be he...
Jada and Lyssa,
"Just because they're fighting each other does not mean she isn't the alpha". I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're wrong. They have no recognizable alpha in the home and so they are battling between one another for that role. Yo...
