All of a sudden the boys are jumping up and playing and running around and I thought it might be hurting their ears but they weren't hurting they  were having fun. They played chase and Percy was the ring leader he loved it. He's the big white one who I am constantly trying to get to exercise. Well I think I found another way!!! I knew he liked music because he always kicks back and rolls around whenever I do have the stereo on he just acts like he likes it and I generally play mellow stuff or at least the music isn't up loud. But now that I know about his dancing ability. I will have to crank up the tunes and let him dance dance dance.</font>

Where-did-I-put-that-toy toy-in-paw "Caught It" JonJon Percy and the Possum cont... http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/384 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/384 <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000080" size="3">The possum is back!!! ugh Awhile back we had a possum and it would drive the boys nuts at night. They would run around looking out the windows and if it was in the middle of the night it would ultimately wake us up. It was a crazy. Then it magically disappeared and all was well. But its back this time the boys aren't running around so much and waking us up but if we are out in the backyard at 9 or past. Percy will all of a sudden want in and thats new he would stay out as long as we did. Jon Jon will usually stay out with us but it makes me nervous because I know the possum is hanging around waiting to walk through. We see him sometimes if we are in the house as early as 9 or 10. Also another annoying thing is we have a bird feeder,squirrel feeder and bird bath and humming bird feeder in our back yard and in the morning its like a little magical garden with the birds singing the squirrels eating the humming birds coming by for a little drink. Very relaxing and the boys love it but all that has stopped since the possum has been back. We have a few birds but hardly any squirrels and even the humming birds have been scarce. This all happened around the same time the possum came back so I am kind of thinking thats the change and reason why the birds and squirrels aren't hanging out but I don't know much about possums. But I am going to find out. Does anyone out there know how to get rid of them my friend said put a cage out but I don't know about that... Any ideas ???</font> Percy's Constant Chatter http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/370 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/370 <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#0000ff" size="3">Well I wrote a few days ago how Percy was; especially Percy was talking talking and talking. Meow this and Meow that and I couldn't figure it out. I think I might have the reason. We bought a new chair recently, a recliner to be precise and it was bigger or at least taller than the last chair. We also changed the furniture around and removed and added different pieces. Well that means the dreaded "CHANGE" and change in anyway even if he ends up liking it or at least getting use to it does not agree with Percy. Plus it meant changing his routine he liked to jump up on one of us and get his love and I knew he wasn't doing that but I thought it was because he was enjoying his new kitty tree and its location and he does but he also like his love. His time with us. Which involved hanging on the couch or chair and for some reason he didn't want to do that with the new setup of the family room. So now to get him use to it I pick him up and put him on me either on the couch or chair until he gets use to jumping up himself. (hopefully) Since I have been doing this he has seemed happier (he was getting a little depressed) and he isn't talking non stop. He still talks but his normal chatter. I hope this solves the issue. I just cant stand it when I know they aren't happy about something and I was starting to wonder if I should take him to the Vet. But I think we are back to normal. At least normal for us.</font>

She takes in cats and adopts them out and has a also kept a few. Just recently she or the cat found her. The cat was barely an adult herself and had kittens. This gal took the mommy cat and had her fixed at the appropriate time and has 3 kittens left. She is at her limit and can not keep anymore and is having trouble adopting them out due to the overpopulation, I am guessing. She said she would pay to have the cats spayed or neutered. She asked me to spread the word. So I am I would take them but every cat I have tried to adopt my cats attack. And I try all the time. So I am passing her info on as she asked me to do and call her if you can help. Her name is Michelle Page she has 3 kittens Approx. 6 to 8 weeks old. Purrfect age and her phone number is (916) 508-6275.</font>  <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#0000ff" size="4">So even if you cant take one or all pass on the info you never know who might want a kitten especially one in need.</font> Talking Cats http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/367 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/367 <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000080" size="3">Lately my cats especially Percy has been sooooooooooooo vocal. My cats are pretty vocal anyways but lately its meow this meow that. I am pretty good at understanding them. Like talking because we just got home and they have missed us or chastising us because we were gone too long or they want to go outside always a big chat there. But lately its like Percy will sit there look at me and start meowing away. He isn't hurting anywhere,I always make sure and if his tummy is upset I know the symptoms but this is different its like he wants to chat. He will jump up sit there look at me and meow away and I will talk back. Ask how his day has been whats he been up to, did he pick on his brother, etc... and he will keep going. Its a crack up. I just wondered how many chatty cattys were out there let me know if your cat does the same thing. Just curious!!!</font>

She told me that the pet food Orijen for dogs and puppies had some fish bones (large) in their pet food. She showed me the paper she received from the manufacture stating what cans and the number of the cans that had the fish bones. But if you are using this brand check it out for yourself and either call or go to the pet foods website. I don't want to say anything against any product but I did see it in writing. So just wanted to pass it on in case there are people out there using this brand and in case this brand has a problem. I was asking for my aunts dog and thats how we started talking about Orijen. </font>

This is Sammys "Lil Angel" look Nothing to do with Paws but Fins Are in Maybe http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/357 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/357 <font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="3"><font color="#0000ff">This has notta to do with cats or dogs or anything of importance for that matter. But I thought it was interesting kinda funny and maybe healing for some people with bad feet if it ever gets to our neck of the woods. OK How ab</font><font color="#0000ff">out a fish pedicure? Yes you read me right!!! A salon in Alexandria,VA is now offering fish pedicures. You go in and stick your tootsies in a Bowl (no just joking about the bowl get it fish bowl) a container  filled with nice warm water,filled with tiny little carp. The carp who thrive in warm water then begin to nibble on your toes,feet and take off your dry flakey skin. They do not eat your skin just the flakey stuff thats dead because they do not have teeth. According to the article this first started in Turkey and then Asian countries. If your interested in reading about this I found it on my comcast.net page but I am sure you can google about it also so what do you think---------interesting---would you do it??? I am open to new things I would probably try it from a reputable salon. They have to change the water each time and they store the fish in a large warm water tank. so the tiny little carp get a home and plenty of food and you supposedly get smooth feet. Hey sounds like a win win situation. LOL</font></font></font> GARBAGE DAYS ARE NOT FOR JON JON http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/355 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/355 <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#0000ff" size="3">Jon Jon has never liked garbage days ever since he was a little kitten which has been some time ago. But his fear is still here and seems to be worse. I keep everything all windows etc... closed so to block out the sound turn on the t.v. but he still hears it and he knows when its coming before I do. I only know because he starts getting jumpy. And the garbage isn't picked up early in the morning and they pick up the other can some times a lot later than the first can. So it seems like a half a day ordeal. I try to keep him busy when I hear it and play with him or hold him anything to get his mind off the DREADED garbage truck. If I could take him out in the back and play that would work but NOT he hears it coming from the he back yard. Its so hard to see him freak out and run under the bed or anywhere he can fit and wait it out but I am at a loss. My poor little baby and his phobias. He was abandoned by his mom and was the runt of the litter I'm sure. When I found him he was on his way to being Ferrel it took me way over an hour of laying on the ground so I could be at his level and talking to him to get him to come and he had a little eye infection too. But it was love at first site for me. So anyways I wonder if it stems from his very early years and being all alone and scared. I hope not I was wishing those memories were erased from his little memory bank. lol. But I will keep trying to distract him on the big bad scary garbage days.</font> Kitty Tree Bliss http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/354 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/354 <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#0000ff" size="3">Since I have moved the boys cat tree they have spent more time in it,playing and just watching all the things going on outside.(though it still doesn't seem to keep them completely entertained when I am away from home for a long time) I put the tree in front of the window so it is all window for them. As soon as the sun comes up I open up the blinds and the window and they love the fresh air. Their little noises start twitching back and forth when they start smelling the fresh morning air. The little birds are chirping away and the squirrels are chasing each other in the trees. I look at their eyes and wide with curiosity and I can tell they are very happy campers. Its sooooooo cute and they never tire of the morning ritual. Lol at least not so far.</font> KEEPING MY CATS HAPPY WHEN I AM AWAY http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/353 http://www.sacpaws.com/home/Blog/Barb111/353 <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#0000ff" size="3">I have heard about dvd's for cats and dogs that you can play for them when you are away from home. They have been on the market for sometime. I know some pet specialty stores that carry them but never tried them before I figured my boys had each other. But lately when I come home and I have been gone for some time they are so glad to see me (more so than usual) :) I wondered if they need some more stimulation,entertainment. I was wondering if anyone out there has ever used the dvd's for their dogs or cats and how they worked. ? Or if anyone has any other ideas I would welcome hearing them.</font></p>
