Cat Entertainment

So the other day, I posed a question on our Facebook Page, asking our members to come up with different ways they entertain their cat/cats.

Although we didn't get a ton of responses, we did find one very interesting. The response was from Bequi. She said that as entertainment for her cat, she used to "hang my old nylons on the door knob for them to scratch at." She also suggested the idea of putting some cat nip in the nylons. Great ideas Bequi!

To continue further with this subject, I did a little research of my own. Here are other activities that I found (my personal favorite is the TV idea...how fun!):

1: Get your Cat a Leash!
2: Talk to your Cat
3: Get your Cat a Huge Variety of Toys and Play with your Cat
4: Gone a Lot? Introduce your Cat to TV

I found these ideas in a fun article titled "How to Entertain Your Indoor Cat." The article goes more indepth into each category. Enjoy!

Veterinary Costs

Owners of animals need to understand that when they bring a pet into their home they are now the sole provider for the animal and with that title comes a lot of responsibility. Animals are required by law to have annual vaccinations, but responsibilities don't end there, sometimes animals need emergency care, which means unplanned veterinary costs.

But, how much are you willing to pay in veterinary costs?

I think the answer to that question is up to each individual animal owner.

But with a recent emergency visit to the vet, I was outraged at the fee I was charged! It made me wonder why veterinary visits are more than triple the price of a doctor's visit for a human. Regardless, after the visit, I looked around on the internet and found an article from The Humane Society that offers solutions to pet owners that need help paying for extra veterinary costs.

I hope it provides a solution to those of you looking for options in paying your veterinary costs.

Shakespeare

Shakespeare, our six-month old guinea pig died last night. We aren't really sure what the cause was, but we are keeping a close eye on our other two guinea pigs.

We love you and will miss you!

RIP my friend.
