It's That Time Again (For Cat Toys)
Sophie is becoming a problem. Every evening at around 10 p.m., our little gray kitty cat sits on the floor by the cupboard next to the refrigerator and looks so forlorn and meows so mournfully, it just about breaks my heart. The pupils of her eyes get huge, and it looks as if she might start crying any moment.
Pug Breeders - Everything You'll Ever Need To Know

Bird Cages - A home for your feathered friends.
The practise of keeping birds goes back throughout human history. People have long wanted to keep the beautiful creatures as pets, but since they can fly, cages were needed to keep the birds contained. Bird cages are common in many households. They are traditionally a tall brass cage, made from several pieces of wire bound together with a solid base and a door.
What You Should Avoid When Teaching Your Puppy To Come
The best time to start training your dog is when he is still a puppy. Puppies, like people, absorb programs and behaviours from a very young age. Except for the ages of 8 to 11 weeks of age, give your puppy the benefit of meeting people, other dogs, and the world at large. During that 3 week period, however, puppies can be spooked very easily.

Have You Got a Dog Sitter ?

The Made in America, American Bobtail
The American Bobtail, a rare breed of cat, gets its name because of its close resemblance to the wild bobtailed cat. Completely domesticated, the Bobtail has a wild or feral look about it that comes in part from its almost almond shaped eyes that lie beneath a fleshy brow. This hunting gaze look, along with the Lynx style of tipping on the ears, combines perfectly to give the Bobtail its wild look.
People often define themselves as either a cat lover or a dog lover, but the question remains can a cat lover ever love dogs? Or, dog lovers ever love cats? It takes a lot for a person to change even in the simplest of ways. This seems to be one of the many difficult ways because of the huge investment people put into their pets.
The Dog Lover
The dog lover often loves their dog for many reasons. Dogs are playful and attentive to their owners. They love to spend their time hiding under their owner's chair or chasing their tail. It just seems as if they are fun loving creatures. Sure, they bark and they can be very annoying when they want your attention even when you are busy. But, they won't fail to greet you when you come home and you are where their loyalty lies no matter what.
The Cat Lover
On the other side of the coin, we have the cat lover. Cats are more independent and more self centered. But, they can provide much affection to their owners nonetheless. They can be playful when they want to be. They can also be full of personality, good or bad. Cat lovers love this about their animals. They are themselves. Of course, they can be rather snooty to some. They are independent and they certainly won't greet you unless it is in their best interest to do so.
The Conclusion
While it seems that many people have an overall preference for one type of animal to the next, there is nothing to say that they can not switch from being a dog lover to being a cat lover. But, it is unlikely that they will receive the same attention from their pet as they did with the other species. Dog lovers will forever value their best friend while cat lovers will always value their cat's personality.
If you are a dog lover or a pet lover and are thinking of venturing to the other side, consider the various differences in these animals before you do. You'll find that many times, it is the qualities that the pet offers that makes them the right, the most attractive choice to you.
