Reddit mentions of Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet

That actually may be a bad idea. If cats are not brought into a home at the same time (preferably as kittens) it can lead to major stress. My aunt's cat never got used to having a second cat. She is a total bitch to the "new" one, even years later. Read Cat Sense.

>People Are Scaring Their Cats with Cucumbers. They Shouldn’t.

​

>“If you cause stress to an animal that's probably not a good thing,” says Jill Goldman, a certified animal behaviorist in southern California. “If you do it for laughs it makes me question your humanity.”

​

>John Bradshaw, a cat-behavior expert at the University of Bristol and the author of the book Cat Sense, agrees, saying the “despicable” videos are “an incitement for people to scare their cats and then invite people to laugh at them.”

​

>The fact that the cucumbers are often placed near feeding stations in the videos confuses the cats because they often associate those areas with safety and security, adds Pam Johnson-Bennett, author of Think Like a Cat. "That's a cruel thing to do," she says.

But, internet points from strangers...

Socks, especially fluffy socks. Never too many fluffy socks, seeing as laundering them very quickly murders them.

I'd also really like money for my boyfriend to build me a new computer, money to responsibly care for a large fish tank and its stock, and some additional furniture when it comes to big budget items. My birthday's this month and I've been mildly stressed about it. Mostly I want money and a job.

Oh, and this has been on my Amazon wish list for awhile now. On that note, a Kindle!

Cat Sense by John Bradshaw. Highly recommended so far (only 1 chapter in!) http://www.amazon.com/Cat-Sense-Feline-Science-Better/dp/0465031013/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407414304&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+sense

Excuse me but I read it on Reddit so.

So, I was reading a book called Cat Sense (by former AMA'er John Bradshaw), and he offers the idea that, while capture, spay/neuter, release is a good thing, it's possible that it will quickly start to favor, evolutionarily, those feral animals (cats, of course, in the case of his book) that are wild enough to be difficult or impossible to catch (since they'll just keep on reproducing, while the more tame/social-with-humans animals will be taken out of the gene pool).

Any thoughts on this?

Sometimes the color might stain your lips, but sometimes it's intentional. My pretty.

They tell me my black dresses look like they belong with a witches broom. Something lengthy won't ride up while riding my broom, eh?

If you've ever seen Hocus Pocus, which dear goodness I hope you have you might recall the line Booo0000000OOOook! As any good witch, my animal will be a kitty, and of course, kitties can be bossy.

I inherited a naval trunk. Need something to seduce the strapping young wizards won't I?
