Cosmo is right, I have been rewarding them for staying out of the kitchen, when needed, on their ‘mats’ or beds for years. Easy technique, great results, and keeps felines out from under feet while cooking or eating meals with company. As soon as I plop down beds or towels anywhere, everyone [...]

For the background on my feline crew after three weeks with a kitten around, see Part 1.
Below are some photos of the Dexter and Asia relationship as it plays out. Will be interesting to see how this develops over time, he is much more tolerant of her then I expected, but I don’t think [...]

Update on the progress of cat training for car rides. Here was my post on the beginning of this little challenge.

So, we have a couple of pooches, technically the DHH’s, since I am not really a dog person myself. They are bird dogs, high energy, need a job, ect. They stay cooped up, A LOT. A lot more then any bird dog should. The younger dog is only about four, and [...]

Indoor or outdoor cats, the opinions differ from everyone. I have three felines, that are indoor only. We go out in the front yard/flower beds on harnesses during the warm months, but 99.9% of the time they are indoor. While I would love them to enjoy more of the outdoors, I live [...]
