Porky and Buddy Pet Health – Grooming Tips For Long-Haired Cats

A stray cat showed up at my door last week, very pretty, very friendly. I posted her on Facebook, let all the local groomers and vets know and checked with all the nearby neighbors to see if I could find her owner, but no luck so far. She is long-haired and I have never had the “pleasure” of a long-haired cat.

Pet of the Week – Dirt Bike

Dirt bike got his name because he looked super rough around the edges and was very dirty when he was found. He also looked like he had suffered an eye injury before he was rescued.

I had a hard time catching her under the porch, but I figured she was just scared and would settle in. Boy is she misnamed.

Porky and Buddy Pet Health – What To Do About Feline’s Nocturnal Shenanigans

A few weeks ago, we adopted a kitten. We already had two dogs who were, to put it kindly, clueless about cats and sort of rowdy. So we went though the long process of introducing Schrodinger (“Schrodinger’s cat,” get it?) to the two dogs very very very carefully. The bottom line is that it worked and now Schro amuses herself by chasing the dogs around the house and they are fascinated by her. She basically sleeps all day while we are all gone and then she does her chasing and playing in the middle of the night.
