I have seen two mice in my apt over the past week. I’m thinking of getting a cat to help with the problem. My friend has a cat and her house always reeks of stinky litter box and cat hairs all over the furniture. Also I have leather sofas. I do not want the cat to scratch p my furniture. How can I get a cat and not have to deal with more problems than I already have. Also I worry about cat food possibly attracting more vermin. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

I have 2 cats and three dogs. One night, I ran out of cat food (the dry type) and my cats were hungry. So since I had dog food only and the shops were closed, I gave them dog kibbles. They’re more or less of the same shape and size and are made of the same ingredients – chicken. My cats took a nibble and refused the rest of the bowl, preferring to go hungry than eat dog food. The next day, i got them a fresh pack of made-for-cats kibbles and they immediately dived in and ate up. How come my cats knew what I gave them wasn’t cat food?

I also know of dogs that won’t eat cat food for the long run (not mine though, cos they’re pigs and will eat anything).

It would be good if a pet food manufacturer can answer this question. Is there some special ingredient you put in cat and dog food that makes cats and dogs know which kibbles is who’s? Also, nowadays, dogs are eating fish too – like salmon. You can’t say it’s the ingredient. How come they know the difference?

i know i’ve posted a lot about my cat. sorry, i live in a small town and the emergency vet is 3 hr drive away. vet won’t be open til monday.

anywho. i think my kitty has dry skin. a lot of people warned against bathing her. i was hoping a nice conditioning shampoo and condition would do it, but i wont have her bathed.

i have these omega 3 fatty acid gel capsules from pet meds. The issue is they expired 03/08. Can they still be used or should i toss them? I forgot I had them and they got pushed to the back of the shelf. They are still golden in color … Or can i use human Cod Liver Fish Oil gel caplets? Just pop one end and squeeze the oil into cat food or is human grade stuff no good?

if she wants can she lick the oil directly or should it really be mixed into food?

i figure it must be the weather because my skin has been really itchy too. At least i can rub in some aveeno oatmeal lotion…too bad i can’t do the same for her
i dont know what the h3ll ur issue is "wiskerluv" but i’m not spamming anything. I’m asking a question. if you don’t like my questions, moron then don’t read them. k thanks.

As i said before. there are only two small vet offices in my town. It takes hours to be seen. and if i make an appointment tomorrow i wont been seen until the end of the month.

thanks for your answer that had nothing to do with anything i asked
