Cat - I've Never Seen A Cat Drag A Turd Like That

The other day, I was leaving for work when I heard a strange, watery sound. I thought it was our camel of a cat, Bender, gulping down water, as he is oft wont to do. Unfortunately, it was our other cat, Neko, puking. In one of the puddles of cat vomit, I found a small piece of purple ribbon, about one inch long, and figured that's what had induced the vomiting.

The next morning, my wife and I walked into the kitchen to find Neko walking about with several inches of purple ribbon hanging out of his bum with a lovely bit of well-digested cat food stuck to the end. The considerable turd had smeared lovely brown streaks all over our kitchen floor.

My wife got the privilege of mopping while I got the privilege of removing said ribbon. Neko didn't much care for that. I pulled the ribbon out and, much to our amazement, it was at least a foot long. How on earth does a foot of purple ribbon fit into the intestines of a rather smallish cat without killing him?

My wife continued to mop. I kept an eye on Neko for any signs of bleeding or continued discomfort. Much to our amazement, another piece of ribbon soon became visible. I pulled on the end only to discover yet another foot of purple ribbon lurking in our poor Neko's intestines. As soon as the second piece had been removed, Neko was back to normal, running, pouncing, eating our feet. And we don't leave ribbon out anymore.

Cat - Install A Cat Door

Cat doors keep your cat happy and content. They allow him or her to roam free whenever he or she wants. That is treasure to a cat! Cats enjoy their territory including the inside outside of the house. The cat door will allow him the freedom to use that territory and generally have a more happy life. The door will enable your cat to access both inside and outside areas freely. Your cat has the freedom to go out when he wants but also come inside for warmth, love, and food.

Your life a little easier as too. No longer do you have to open the door to let your cat out or in. No more noises from outside or in!

Cat doors provide a way of allowing your cat to escape other theongs - people and other animals. It gives him freedom and privacy. Having a cat door installed in your home will prevent the larger dog from following your cat into his private area as well as keeping him from rummaging through the cat's litter box.

The usual cat door is made of plastic that flaps down and allows your cat to push on it in order to open it. The flap shut when the cat crosses over and is usually kept lightly closed by magnets which helps with heat loss.

How do you install a cat door? Several options are available. I have a sliding door that leads to my garden and I put panels into the end of the slider and fixed the pet door into it. You could also use a full screen door that you fix on your main door that has the open flap. You may not be the practical kind of person - in that case hire someone to do it for you - it shouldn't take long.

be aware that your cat may not be the only animal that uses the door. Possums, raccoons, and even stray cats have found their way into many homes through the easy access of a cat door
