Sending Secret Paws

Both China Cat and I have received our Secret Paws packages in the mail! I don't know how we will wait until Christmas to open them.
~~~~~
We just mailed both of our Secret Paws packages to some wonderful cats... but I hope that they will get them by Christmas time. My Food Lady was a little slow on the packing but as you can see, we both snoopervised and made sure that all the presents were good cat presents for Secret Paws! I think that my Secret Paws will love these Temptations!

He is here again...

Here I am, looking for that new little guy that keeps coming over to my house. My Food Lady calls him her Sweet Grandbaby and Little Pooky. That's not what I would call him but no one asked me... He is part of the reason that I don't get to blog as much as I did before... sigh...
~~~~~
See, behind me is something that he sits in. Sometimes he is quietly playing but sometimes he is loud and he tosses toys on to the floor. These are not cat toys and I am not allowed to play with them. At first, I was afraid of him but now that I know that he cannot escape that saucer I like to sit on the couch and watch him. He likes to watch me too!
~~~~~
I don't know what will happen if he gets out of that saucer...
Here's where to find all of the Weekend Cat Events!

Halloween Was Too Loud For Me!

But I hope that everyone had a nice and safe Halloween!

Derby's Tock-Tober

Happy 6th Birthday to Derby!
~~~~~
I wanted to join in on the Tocktober Fest
and I think that this might be a good Tocks picture of me.
I was snoozing on my Big Janitor Dad's lap
when suddenly there came the flash from
my Food Lady's camera!
~~~~~
Time to head on over to Derby's Party...
See everyone's tocks over there!

2009 Meow Like A Pirate Day!

'Tis time t' Meow Like Pirates again! I be Pirate Willow th' Wicked an' I be ready to ride the seas,
lookin' for treasure.
~~~~~
Later, I be lookin' for Cap'n Mao Fang of the Cat O' Nine Tails. He took over for Cap'n Nels the Cranky who we lost last year, but still hold close in our hearts.
Here is my official Pirate Name:


My pirate name is:


Calico Bess Rackham



Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Afghan Hound

Afghan Hound | dog bathingI guess high pet gates are needed in this tall and hairy dog.

The Afghan Hound is one dog you shouldn't get if you aren't fond of cats.
This is because Afghan Hounds and cats are very similar in terms of personality even though they are of different species. The Afghan Hound is the wrong dog breed for you if you want a dog that is active, goofy and would chase after Frisbees.

Afghan Hound | dog car seatsDon't expect an Afghan Hound to go after a ball and even jump into the water to retrieve it. You'll be better off getting a Golden Retriever or a Black Labrador. A hunting sight hound, the Afghan Hound is very possessive. If it sees anything that moves, the Afghan Hound thinks that it is theirs.

Afghan Hound | retriever trainerIn general, Afghan Hounds can't live with cats or ferrets in the same household although some can. However, keep in mind that regardless of how well trained they are, Afghan Hounds have an unpredictable nature and they tend to rely more on their instinct. For instance, you should never let an Afghan Hound off its leash because once it hones in on a target, you will have a hard time getting it to come back or obey a command.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever | pet gatesHunting dog collars online was obviously needed at a well-known hunting dog breed like this.

Affectionately known as the "Toller,"
this breed was once called the Little River Duck Dog since it was developed in the Little River district of Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia. This engaging dog is a specialist with waterfowl. Tolling, or luring, is the practice of tricking ducks within gunshot range. Hunters had long observed this behavior in foxes and deliberately bred a small fox-like dog to make use of tolling in their own hunting.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever | Dog DoorsTollers are powerful, medium-sized sporting dogs, intelligent and keen workers. Males measure 19 to 20 inches at the shoulder and weigh from 45 to 51 pounds; females average one inch less and weigh from 37 to 43 pounds. The coat is medium long with a dense undercoat in red or orange. It may be marked with white on the tip of tail, chest, feet and forehead. The tail is long and heavily coated, and full of action when the dog is tolling. The coat is a true retriever double coat; the harsh outer coat waterproofs while the under coat insulates.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever | Dog training aidsThe dogs are described as excellent hunters -- some giving their owners a look of disgust if the shot is missed -- willing to work in cold and wet conditions. While the breed was developed for waterfowl, many are used in the upland. They are equally comfortable whether the scent is on the ground or in the air. Well trained dogs hunt close and don't roam, but enthusiasm can easily run away with good field manners! They take well to obedience and some have been used successfully as therapy dogs.
