I love my humans fish tank and I love to sit there and stare into it for hours on end fantasizing about the colorful fish inside. I must tell you, though that today I lucked out and was able to skewer one of their beautiful Neon Tetras!
Oh but it did make a tasty treat!
Now don't tell them, or they may take measures to make sure I can't get my paw inside.
But really, I must get back to my nap I've got to get my 23 1/2 hours in.....

The Lhasa Apso
Today, my humans friend came over with her pet Lhasa Apso. What a vile creature!
I don't know how the thing could see with it's hair hanging over its eyes and when I first saw it, I thought the mop had gotten out of the closet and was walking around all by itself!
Come to find out, this breed is from Tibet. It has actually been bred there for thousands of years before anyone outside of Tibet even saw this kind of dog. In the 1920s, the Dalai Lama started handing them out to his foreign dignitary friends and they were introduced to the Western world. In my opinion, he should've kept the darn things to himself but he was probably so sick of them that he wanted to get rid of some. Who could blame him?
The horrid creature needs to be brushed daily by his owner. I mean, can you imagine an animal that cannot groom itself? And the barking! That thing just would not shut up. But the humans seem to like it and said it was a wonderful loving pet and fairly intelligent - I'm sure they meant by human standards not cat standards.....

Pets and Natural Disaster
In reading the news this morning, I am encouraged to see that the powers that be are finally starting to realize that pets need a place to go in an emergency too.
Of course, many pet owners have realized this for a long time. Pets are part of the family.
In some Central Florida counties, pet friendly shelters were opened as soon as Ernesto started making it's way toward the state. This is good for animals and for people too since a lot of older people refuse to leave their pets, in fact almost half of the Hurricane Katrina victims that stayed did so because they did not want to leave their pets.
Imagine how terrifying it would be to have to leave your home with your pet inside and not know if either one would be there when you returned?
Luckily there will be more pet friendly shelters in the future - after all, pets are people too.

Housebreaking Your Dog
Dog - Yech! They are vile creatures. Seriously, what kind of a being soils anywhere it wants?
Now take cats, they are very clean and know almost from birth that when it's time to go a sand pile or litter box needs to be found. No one needs to housebreak a cat! Only under serious stress or illness will a cat, no matter how young, soil in any other place. Even if you get a new cat, or watch one for a friend, once you show her where the litter box is she will always use it.
Not so with dogs!
They'll go in a corner, on the rug or on your shoes unless you teach them to go outside or even in a doggy litter box.
Why anyone would want a pet that you have to house train is beyond me, but if you find yourself in this situation, check out this web page with puppy housebreaking tips.

Welcome
Hi! I'm Kitty O'Claw and this is my blog about pets.
Of course, as we all know cats are not mere pets but superior beings that trick humans into believing that we are their "pets". In exchange for this demeaning stature, we are rewarded with maid service, a constant supply of food and water and a warm place to eat. Not a bad gig if you ask me!
