I think they are training us.. Mine do exactly the same and if I try to ignore them at the window they will sit and glare at me until I obey.

With regards to the label 'Mad Cat Lady' you have to wonder what came first. The madness or the cats.. Collective noun should be a Tyranny of cats! :D

The wire cat grooming brushes are great at getting the hairs out.. Use before you wash and afterwards to separate the fibres and it'll get it all soft and fluffy again. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Metal-Brush-Grooming-White/dp/B00D10OY30

I've heard some horrifying stories about their dog cull too. Doubtless the methods shown to the cameras were acceptably humane as opposed to the beat over head with clubs till dead, or poision methods I've read about. As an owner of a badly abused rescue dog and seeing how friendly all the...

Found them..they look lovely :)

Sam has been with me here in the UK for 2 months now.( from Cyprus) It's had its challenges but each week I've seen improvements in levels of anxiety and manners. We are getting there :) as will you. Well done for taking them on and giving them a chance to live again. Please keep posting...

My childhood horse was an 'ass' :D I think I also had a broom as back up if the weather was too wet or cold to go outside. Poor Neddy was made to jump ditches and I tried to make him do vertical jumps but it seems donkeys don't jump well. he'd just trot up and step over or stop suddenly and...

Not raw feeder..delicate soul rejected raw meat when offered. However when I ran out of the Orijen recently I put him on Lathams plus his usual rice n veg and I noticed that he smelt different . And I don't mean wind either. It's his body smell. I think it's like us. We smell of what we eat.

Someone shared a FB status which showed photos of a Romanian dog pound/ shelter ..death has to be a better choice than what those dogs were being put through. They faces of the veterinary volunteers from Germany showed how traumatising it was for them witnessing how the dogs were being kept ...

I've got some and I love them. I was having knee and ankle discomfort and they sorted the problem.

Well done! And how lovely that you've got two! I'm hoping to view a pup tomorrow and introduce her to Sam in the hope that he will accept her. He has final say in the matter although as a young male he may well think that a 5 month old out is way beneath his dignity. Hope all the introductions...

Nutrock.. Great suggestion re fostering. OP. Loads of rescues are desperate for fosterers and you've got the experience. Cyprus rescue are currently looking for foster homes and finding places where they will be the only dog is difficult. Please consider it.and pm me if you want to know more ...

It's a big step to acknowledge how you feel and as GG says it is the start if the healing process . I had a cat put down a while back and I felt so guilty that I hadn't noticed how thin and ill he'd become. It took me ages to get another because I felt that I was a bad owner and that I'd let him...

Yep..thick leggings should do it..Primark are a good source of cheap stretchy bottoms .. My first lesson I didn't have any chaps and got badly bruised from the stirrup leathers so really worth getting some half chaps to wear.

I used to share and because the saddle she had didn't fit the horse I went and bough a 2nd hand one. I'd intended to keep it or sell if and when share ended. Share ended after a few months because I'd had a fall plus other niggles with the share being not what I needed and It took me months to...
