I don't know about you but I dislike having a cat litter box in the house. We have to though because our kitty is on a special diet and must stay inside so he doesn't eat the outdoor cats' food. I am definitely a fan of enclosed boxes because they keep the odor and errant litter particles IN the box not outside the box. But

I really can't stand it when I see my cat curled up on the counter tops in the kitchen. I envision microscopic pieces of cat litter in my morning toast! It's a dead give away too when he jumps down, if I don't see him, because I hear a thud when he lands on the kitchen floor. My latest tactic has been to grab this high tech anti-counter de

A 2005 study found that 60 percent of pets in the U.S. were overweight. Most owners will tell you that their pets are the perfect size. Would they say that if they knew that they were killing their pet?

Let’s not make our pets suffer with weight gain during the holidays. It’s bad enough that we do it to ourselves! When I went from free f

I happened to have my digital camera at the ready and snagged this video. I love the way the cat nonchalantly rolls over and then takes a swipe. The dog has such a sweet disposition to put up with all this. That place under the coffee table is the d

As my act of kindness, from this point on, I would like to use my blogs, Catnip Corner and The Dog Log as a tribute to all rescued cats and dogs and the people who gave them a new life. These animals have experienced being lost, mistreated, abandoned, usually spent time at local shelters and/or rescue groups, and then adjusted to their new

My neighbor, an old lady, has an Affenpinscher (image to the left). I have to tell you that it’s one of the ugliest type of dog I have ever seen. The one she has is even uglier that the one on the picture. When I first moved in I thought it was Satan visiting my neighborhood.

Back to the point. She said that the dog was ill and that he had

I found an interesting article a while back. It talks of how a child can be compared to a dog, and when he or she grows into a teenager - to a cat. I was able to relate to the article especially when I recalled how I was when I was still growing up. During my teen years, my world revolved around my friends so I rarely paid atte

Awhile ago I told you we had gotten a new cat, Milkshake. Isn't he cute? We love him to death, but problem is sometimes he does bad things, things that make me threaten to make him live in the garage, or put on that humiliating, pink furry cat sweater I bought him as a joke.

Thank goodness I took that Cat Whispering class!

After spending a great deal of time reading and learning about the way commercial pet foods are processed, and the ingredients that go into many of these foods, I decided to start making my own cat food. I found that I was getting more and more frustrated with the species-inappropriate and low quality ingredients found in most

Britney shopped and then dined out with Daddy Spears over the weekend and as usual, she had a style all her own. I'm not sure if it's actually a dead cat she's wearing, but it certainly matches her dead rat weave. Oh snap.
