Gift Horse ContestThis is so cool. This is the second time The Pet Wiki is having a Gift Horse Contest. The first time was when The Pet Wiki was a year old. This time they are doing it just for fun.

To enter, all you need to do is share your knowledge with the community. We have a few articles that could use some sprucing up. If you don’t find something that strikes your fancy with these articles, no worries. Write your own and you will still be eligible to win.

All anipals are welcome! I think that I’m disqualified because I kind of work for the site. Bummer. It’s Ok though, I don’t know how much typing my little paws can take anyway. I’m already doing a lot of typing as it is. I never thought that writing my own blog would take so much out of me. A typical article takes me about 5 hours. I type a bit, take a cat nap and then type some more. As a matter of fact, I feel a nap coming on right now. Cat-ch you later.

Good luck!

Man is that thing LOUD!

by Omer on March 1, 2010

Sun Conure

Who me?

Lately, there has been this infernal squawking going around the house. The humans here are pretty loud, but that’s not who I’m talking about. It’s that bird brain, Shemesh, that just can’t keep her trap shut. Shemesh is a Sun Conure, and she makes sure that everyone knows it. Mom’s had other birds around before. Tweety, the Cockatiel, use to inhabit Shira’s (Mom’s oldest girl’s) room, but moved to Softa’s house for a long vacation, and liked it so much, never came home.

Mom has never heard anything like this before. And neither have I.  You know that our kitty hearing is very sensitive. As a matter of fact, us felines have better hearing than our canine counterparts. It’s just that you won’t see us stoop to performing silly hearing tricks. We’re way above that.

Shemesh has moved into Mom’s office for the time being. Zahava, Shemesh’s mom, is away a lot, so mom thought it would be nice to give Shemesh some company. It works nicely for Shemesh. Less nicely for the rest of us. I would have thought that Shemesh would try to blend in so that Mom would want to keep her around. I know that I don’t want her.

Snoopy has gone crazy. She’s dying to play with Shemesh, but mom won’t have it. If Snoopy gets too close, or looks too hungry, mom gives her a quick shoot with the spray bottle. Mom doesn’t really like to do it, but Snoopy has to learn. Me and Twitch couldn’t care less about the bird, minus the noise, of course.

Well, mom really likes Shemesh, and I think that the move is going to be permanent. She really is  a pretty bird. I wonder if they make kitty earplugs?

Something to sink your teeth into

February 21, 2010

Did you know that February is National Pet Dental Care Month? Well neither did I until mom started making all this fuss about our pearly whites. She keeps an eye on them regularly. She says that she’s supposed to help us brush them weekly, but what’s up with that? It’s really not my thing.
As much [...]

Cats are a smart bunch

February 8, 2010

This is something that I’ve know for quite some time now. Cats are smart. What I didn’t realize until now was that people who own cats are smart too. I mean it sounds obvious, but it just wasn’t my experience. Just kidding, mom. Anyway, turns out that people who own cats are smarter than those [...]

Meet Monster Murphy

February 2, 2010

Hi everyone, Monster Murphy here. My mom added the monster to my name although I can’t understand why. So sometimes I get excited and break a few things. Or I get an urge to chew something, anything. Does that make me a monster?
Mom found me at an animal shelter about 4 months ago. She was [...]

Time for a new post

A time comes in every cat’s life when he needs to say good-bye to the old and hello to the new. We are a three cat family. and we totally destroyed our scratching post. When I say we destroyed it, I am not kidding. The cord that goes around each of the poles is no [...]

Honey, it’s cold outside

January 18, 2010

Winter is here. It’s getting pretty cold outside. Mom set up a little shelter for the strays to stay out of the rain. A couple of the bigger boys have figured out how to break into the house anyway. Buddy has taken his place, all curled up on the coach. Mom’s going to let him [...]

Talking for myself

January 12, 2010

I’ve been sniffing around a bit on Omer’s blog and I decided it was time that I talked for myself. Hi! I’m Snoopy. I’m the cute little kitten that mom took in from the street. I was little then, but I’m not that little anymore. Omer and I have become pretty good pals. We sometimes [...]

Quanah’s knee surgery

January 4, 2010

Hi, I’m a German Shepherd and my name is Quanah Parker. I’m named after the last great Comanche Indian chief. My mom reads a lot about Native Americans and chose that mouthful, but you can call me Quanah. I’ll be 7 years old on January 11th. Guess I’m reaching middle age. I’ve had my share [...]
