Seattle2007 Hi there... I just saw this on the news and wondered myself how in the world that cat got onto that highway sign as well. I was so relieved to see that they were able to safely rescue her. She looked happy to see someone too by the nudge she gave the rescuer....

Does Your Cat Ever do this?

ihearttinytim @ihearttinytim (614) • United States 3 May 08

* * * *Does your cat ever sit straight up on his or her butt or hind legs, and look all around like a pole cat? Mine does this when she hears something strange. I wonder why dogs don't do this - they only tilt their heads.

Seattle2007 HI there...two of my cats do this too. I call it the prairie dog lookout! Anytime someone walks by our home they will run over to the door and perch up in the lookout position. It's so cute and also a great way to know if someone is too close to our...

Seattle2007 HI there...it's absolutely normal for you to be sincerely concerned about your kitty falling 3 stories down. Veterinarians see too many injured cats from such short distance falls known as "high rise syndrome". It's a misconception that cats cannot injure...

ShepherdSpy @ShepherdSpy (8544) • Omagh, Northern Ireland 1 May 08

I'd read this story online way back,and a recent discussion on cats spending time with their owners in "the smallest room" made me go look for the article! www.karawynn.net/mishacat/toilet.html what do you think?

Seattle2007 Hi there...both my cats have been toilet trained now for 3 years. One of them flushes after using it. I used a similar method that karawynn.net used. I'm in the process of training our newly adopted third cat using the Litter Kwitter system. So far so good!...

when a cat is wagging its tail

usnavys @usnavys (297) • Poland 5 Nov 07

I've heard that when a cat is wagging its tail, it means that he or she is angry. Is this true? What do you think? Do you know any other 'body language' what we can get to know what our pet is thinking?

Seattle2007 Hi there...cat's tail movement can have many meanings and it's not uncommon to mistakenly believe one means something entirely different. A hard back and forth swoosh, could mean the cat is annoyed and if it's ears are tucked backward while this is going on...

Seattle2007 Hi there...although an abyssinian is a great mouser there are certainly many other breeds and mixed breeds of cats who can fetch a mouse or bird just as keenly as an aby. Feral cats are usually the best mousers and many feral cat rescues will trap the cats to...
