THE NEW CAT ROOM! (or the Cat Room #2)

The do have a penchant for chewing plastic ,string and ribbon from packages. Very dangerous habits! Any ideas besides hiding everything?

Question: Can cats & dogs communicate with each other? .

I tend to think so...and more than just the i sniff your but you sniff mine kind of way.

I have had cats and other animals seem to do a lot of communicating by just watching what they do. In fact my cat Nugget and our snake Lissi do the exact same thing you are talking about with the dog next door.

Nugget will sit next to Lissi's tank and they will both get right up to the glass and "talk". It is rather interesting to watch. There is nothing vocal, but as you watch it becomes quite clear that something is passing between the two.

Nuggets ears twitch as if she hears things that I can not and Lissi becomes very...amiable? It is hard to describe. Looking at them you get an instant feeling of two girlfriends sharing a bit of gossip.

I don't know...some people might think I'm a bit off, but I have had far to many animals do far to many things that were supposed to be impossible for me to not believe.

Hide everything. I know it kind of sucks but that is the only way I have been able to keep my cat Whisper alive. He does the same thing. Eats plastic, swallows wire twist ties, chokes on rocks... I could go on.

I have lost count of how many times I have had to reach down his throat and pop out the latest find...I don't know where he keeps finding this stuff!

A couple of centimetres further and she'll simply smack his snout! Then he'll lose interest!

....I chased Coco around until I caught her under the bed (of course!) and pulled out about 2 feet of ribbon! It could have killed her! The only reason I chased her is because I caught a fleeting glimpse of purple out of the side of her mouth!

(Whew, quick reply, mso) My pleasure. Miss Mollie is an outdoor cat, as you've probably guessed by now...

Oh, Nekochan does go out, but only in the sunshine, which we get a couple of times during the week, and then only right by the door for five minutes or so.
The path is my access to service the bird feeder, as I look after a sizeable regular clientele daily.

Nisse and Mysan are sleeping. Of course- especially Nisse must be really tired after keeping us awake during half of last night... We should have been stricter when they were little. Too late now...
