Clone a Cat, Go To Jail
...or at least pay a fine. That's the goal of animal welfare
activists who announced recently that they are seeking state and
federal restrictions on the small but growing pet-cloning
industry.
The effort has been spearheaded by the American Anti-Vivisection
Society [AAVS] (in suburban Philadelphia), and takes aim at
companies such as Genetic Savings and Clone Inc., the California
company that began to fill orders for cloned cats last year. The
clones - which have sold ...

Getting a new pet can be a lot of fun. You can choose from a
dog, cat, hamster, gerbil, rabbit, and the list goes on and on.
No matter what pet you choose, you will need to outfit them with
the latest and greatest in pet gear. If you shop smart, you
should be able to find many of your items for cheap.
The key to getting a good deal on pet gear is to shop early. Buy
your items before your pet comes home with you. That way you
won't be rushed to pay more for the necessary items. The
following is ...

SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A CAT Copyright 2005, Michael LaRocca
You can get cuddles whenever you want them.
You yowl loudly if your litter box is not clean.
You yowl loudly at the full moon.
You yowl loudly for no reason.
Floor swimming!
Ping Pong balls!
You find yourself bathing Daddy every day because he doesn't
know how to clean himself.
You don't understand the language that your pet humans use, but
you always know when they are talking about you.
Daddy won't change the weather no matter how many ...

Cute cat names? Max is popular, Lady a favorite for queens. If
you want your cat to have a more original name, you have to use
your imagination. Or get some expert help.
'Muffin. Kitty. Snowball. All stupid names that no self
respecting cat would have - if it weren't for the stupid human
who gave it to him!'
These lines come from the hilarious, but now sold out Garfield
Book of Cat Names by Jim Davis. The famous cartoon cat is a self
declared enemy of silly names. In the book he gives advice ...

It's appealing to see ourself "saving" an adult dog from an
animal shelter but dealing with a dog with a troubled or
insecure past can be very challenging.
The good news is that you'll be getting a full size dog so you
know what to expect in that regard. He's likely to have at least
some rudimentary training, perhaps from shelter personnel.
The worst thing that can happen is that the dog and the owner
are not well matched. Inexperienced shelter personnel might
place a strong-willed, dog with an ...

Occasionally, some of us get to do work that is totally fun and
such is the case with my assignment to review Cat Fancy
Magazine. My own two Bengal cats volunteered to assist with my
research but in the end both of them were found sleeping on the
job.
A recent issue of Cat Fancy Magazine estimated that, based on
the latest surveys, there are approximately 90 million cats in
the United States. Thus, it is indeed fortunate for those of us
who own these 'purrfect' animals to have Cat Fancy ...

submit articles for free to help drive customers to the site that they want to expand. Then they can start to experience the extra income without having the extra expenses that normally come from extra advertising.A great thing about this is that it can allow a person to gain some much needed exposure to the site they ...

Feline owners who are renters can face challenges every time
they move from one rental to another. Their cat may have the
best cat litter box habits in the world, but if the new
apartment has cat urine damage from the previous tenant, the
cycle could be repeated. If your kitty smells the cat urine from
the previous ...

Would you like to save money and have a healthier pet? Let me
tell you a story. One day, my German Shepherd was asleep, as
usual, when he suddenly started convulsing so intensely that I
thought he must be dying. It went on for a few minutes, which
seemed like forever. After, I couldn't believe he was OK. It
turned out to be a seizure, and it was then that I began to
learn about alternative medicine for pets.
The most interesting thing I found out was that vaccinations
seem to be a main cause ...
