Cheap Thrills: Karma’s New Toy

by Amy Shojai | May 9, 2014 | Cat Behavior & Care, Dog Training & Care | 2 comments

I think Magic is truly put out by what the Karma-Kitten gets away with, all in the name of cute-icity. What do you think? Do you have a “double standard” and some of the fur-kids are allowed to do certain things while others are not? Am I a bad pet mom? (Hey, it is nearly Mother’s Day).

I love hearing from you, so please share comments and questions. Do you have an ASK AMY question you’d like answered? Do you have a new kitten and need answers?

How cute! Oh I wish Magic could talk. I think he would be coming and getting you by the paw and tattling about Karma having the shoe. My cats can’t play with anything that has a string, etc. on it – they want to swallow them. Usually If all my cats can’t play with something, none of them can. It amazes me sometimes of how cheap of a toy they like such as a wadded up piece of paper. HAPPY PET PARENT/MOTHER’S DAY to you.

  Oh I think you’re right. Magic knows right from wrong and “mostly” plays by the rules. But I think Karma is a bad influence, too…they’re now egging each other on. LOL!

Why Do Dogs Roll on Poop and Like Stinky Nasty Schtuff

Does your dog roll in poop? We lived on the river when I grew up, and our Shelties always loved to find dead fish and roll in the stink. Here in Texas, our German Shepherd loved to visit the next-door neighbor horse, and not only roll in nasty stuff, but sometimes even EAT the crap, ew! Learn why dogs do this dirty deed in the post.

Do You Suffer with Pet Guilt? You’re Not Alone!

As a pet lover, do you ever wonder if you’re doing enough? Or do you ever find yourself comparing your parenting with what you see other pet parents doing with or for their pets? Are you consumed by guilt every time you have to leave your cat or dog alone or decide to say no to something that would be good for them? (Like that uber-expensive spa treatment or therapy?) Trust me, you’re not the only one dealing with pet guilt. Here are tips to help you deal.

It’s NATIONAL ADOPT A DOG MONTH! How will you spend your celebration? Wait, your dog didn’t tell you?

BITE Prevention for Halloween: 9 Ways to Keep Fangs At Bay

Have you thought about dog bite Halloween safety? and I’m not talking about vampires, either. Many dogs enjoy the howl-idays. But dogs biting kids happens more often at this time of year than any other.

This is a timely subject so I try to revisit the information every year. I write about this every year because it’s so darned important. With Halloween in the offing, this is the perfect time to brush up on dog safety issues and protect your kids, too.

To give equal time, there are many kitty-centric Halloween myth-teries you’ll find fascinating, especially about black cats.

While nonstop doorbell rings and visitors showering attention may be doggy bliss for your pet, even friendly laid back pooches get their tails in a twist over the disruption to routine. That can be dangerous for the pet—and for the human. Learn more about dog bites and kid safety here…

Black Cat Appreciation Day & Halloween Black Cats

August 17 is Black Cat Appreciation Day to counter the Halloween black cat negative myths. Of course, those folks who share their lives (and pillows!) with a special black cat know better. Sadly, too many black cats remain in shelters rather than being adopted.

In fact, some evidence supports the notion that black cats (one of the first “mutations” of wild coat color), enhanced what I call the feline friendly factor. Black cats often seem to be much more agreeable and love spending time with their chosen human. Maybe that’s why so many of the so-called witches were associated with black kitties.

People have more difficulty picking cats because they assume all felines are the same. And because usually, cats pick us.

Halloween Pets Safety: Protect Pets from Halloween Goblins

It’s important to keep your human kiddoes safe with these tips, but no less important for the pets. I write about Halloween pets safety every year because it can be a nightmare for your furry kids.
