How many dogs?
How many dogs?
It looks to me as if Sgarba will go through life with very clean ears
Diùra really is very fluffy, give it a couple of years you could collect enough fur to knit a jumper I reckon
Its ok I saw on the dog thread...dog to cat ratio is balanced.How many dogs?
Probably "looking for summer" - if he finds it, perhaps he would let me know where this year's summer is hiding. I would really appreciate that !Glaring at you because outside wasn't what he expected it to be today and It's Your Fault
I often wonder if the birds have a sly little laugh when they line their nests with cat fur!Clean ears are good and the fur will be shoved in a spot in the garden for the birds to collect and line their nests.
Both of them love being combed, unlike my last cats who must never have been combed as kittens, which meant in adulthood, combing was a fraught/barely tolerated event that only lasted until they got angry and wanted to draw blood!
Eight. And eight cats....How many dogs?
I used to wash the fur with warm water or spray it with pet safe disinfectant and let it dry, but it was usually dog moultings rather than cat.I'd be a bit wary of putting cat fur out for birds - cats have bacteria in their mouths and saliva that birds have no immunity to and it can kill them, and we all know cats groom themselves with saliva all the time.
Interesting fact- they don’t actually use it to line their nests. They use it to make false moustaches, for disguises.I used to wash the fur with warm water or spray it with pet safe disinfectant and let it dry, but it was usually dog moultings rather than cat.
Think the usual users were actually thrushes / blackbirds

All this reminds me of something funny Victoria Wood said years ago. She said she liked to keep her..err, down below area tidy so she'd trim it with scissors and throw what she'd cut off into the garden for the birds to put in their nests.Best post on urban so far this year, I fucking love you for this post
I've been doing this for @20 years with my last cats and my bird population has been thriving all that time.I'd be a bit wary of putting cat fur out for birds - cats have bacteria in their mouths and saliva that birds have no immunity to and it can kill them, and we all know cats groom themselves with saliva all the time.
Yeah my gran used to put out milk for cats and hedgehogs and reckoned they were thriving, it doesn't mean it's good for themI've been doing this for @20 years with my last cats and my bird population has been thriving all that time.

Absolutely - and fur that builds up over the summer/autumn tends to be left till the Magpies start hauling it out for their nests in the early spring.I think for sure don't use fur gathered within a week of giving flea treatments.
I used to have bird pets and am very wary due to the risk of Pasteurella which is part of the natural flora and fauna of a cat's mouth.
Just be careful, cats are not a natural part of our environment here in the UK, and limiting any damage they can cause is good.

She came in yesterday afternoon with a big flap of skin hanging off her back leg A quick trip to the Sunday vet, I am £600 lighter and she is high as a kite on some medical grade painkillers <3
