That is so awful.  Unfortunately this happens often - parents getting frustrated because their kid can't seem to get the hang of the potty.  A client of mine told me her husband hits her son because he isn't well potty trained.  I told her that the husband should be put out and tied up to the fe

This is a horror story.  It's true.  My cats will tell you it is.  One day, several years ago, I decided to purchase clumping litter.  In those days I was using Traditional, a brand put out by HEB supermarket.  Traditional is a white litter, not too much dust, at that time very inexpensive. Then

I use pine pellets, $5.99 (tax exempt) at the feed store.  A 40 lb. bag lasts me about a week.  I scoop every day, dump and wash 5 boxes every 3-4 days.  I have about 24 cats pooping and peeing non-stop in the boxes.  Over 4 days turns into a major disaster.  Of course, some of them "think" outs

Although this IS off topic in one way, as I said before, we do not live in a bubble and when, thankfully there are no cats whose caregivers are in dire need of FeLv advice, we should be allowed to wander off topic for a while.  Maybe we should begin our off topic discussions with the disclaime

Yaay for Oliver!  Feline acne, especially in cats with some white fur is not serious.  I usually use a flea comb on their chin or other parts to remove the crud.  Then I use a very mild baby soap to gently wash the area, rinse it with wet wash cloth and pat it dry.  I do this until the acne fina

I think the chicken would have a different opinion as to whether she is food or not.  The main thing is that humans are omnivorous.  We can survive quite nicely without ever eating an animal or even eating animal products.  Killing a chicken, a cow, a pig, a lamb, a rabbit, a fox for his fur, a

I have 40 cats so any cat litter expense is going to be flushing money down the drain or into the garbage.  I use pine pellets which cost $6.00 for 40 lbs. at Tractor Supply.  At that price my cats can poop and pee in luxury.  The pine breaks down to a yellow powder though and I have to sweep it
