one cat loves me the other hates me then

If this is a "lesser known" fact, we seriously need a pet license. It's amazing how stupid people can be.

Shortens peoples lives too!

My cat loves cool, wet cloths draped on him in very hot weather. He walks around wearing it like his superhero cape.

Our old cat used to go outside, eat some grass, then come in and puke on the living room floor.

British bulldog owner here - she seriously LOVES strawberries! I could hide a brick in a strawberry and she would eat the brick too

If you have any pet, check ALL your plants for toxicity. Here's a good place to start: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants

Avocado is very toxic to parrots

I read this long after we started the routine. Apparently bananas are toxic to dogs. Lucy was crazy about them. Every morning I'd call from the kitchen "BA NANA!!" She'd come running. Lived to 17.

I have to say. We had this large dog who ate an entire bowl of grapes we thought was out of her reach after we left the house. She left the stems. No ill effects. Lived a long happy life. So grapes are obviously dependent on the sensitivity of the dog.

My labrador once stole a large dark choclate Easter egg that he stole, He was very ill. Stupid n*b!!

I did not know this!

Wrong, Not all dogs have problems with onions, but I now try to remove any I can see in left overs for the dogs. A small amount of chocolate won't harm them, I used to regularly but an chocolate covered ice cream for one of may dogs (after a hot afternoons training at Club) Macadamia nut are fine, Just don't feed then a kilo of shelled nuts -- that would have a growl man in hospital too. Just a coupe of nuts -- as we humans eat them. We used to feed our dogs grapes too, with no ill effect -- but it WAS the occasional grape tossed for them to catch. I am very surprised to see this blanket advice given by a qualified Veterinary practitioner, The amount of any food that can be tolerated depends on body mass. Just as medication is calculated on body mass. Many even norm foods can be toxic inn excess,

Most of the things that dogs can't eat also go for cats, by the way. Should be noted that even though both dogs and cats are quite resilient when it comes to things they can eat, it's still not a good idea to willingly give them certain things.

Raw pork can be dodgy as well apparently.

I would add cinnamon to that list. toxic to dogs

I thought it was all nuts

my dog lived to 20 and every Sunday had a 10p Chomp bar from the shop, he wasnt over weight or anything and at Christmas hed have a bowl of drinking chocolate by the fire. if u tried to veer away from the shop hed yank you as he wants that Chomp. died of old age

With medium to large dogs, you can easily tell by the number of things your dog breaks wagging their tail.

Then why do they behave like idiots until they are 3?? At least!

I love the word chonky

Right, they're getting left in the shop along with the lilies.

We do sound stupid when we walk our puppy. "Yaaaaay!" "Good boooy!". But we don't care! We love how excited he gets.

diarrhea... i confirm... oh you mean for the dog?

Whut? I can slap a stone against my knee without it hurting, and I can slap a sausage against my knee so hard that it hurts. It depends on how hard I slap!?

in that case...my cats were born bored. assholes. (but I love them)

This would be weird in the human world

I don't know what to believe. Some vets say raw bones are good for dogs, especially with keeping their teeth clean and now this vet says no to raw bones.

I'm living with the equivalent of a 65-year old man with a "mid-life" crisis. my cat's human persona would b a grey-haired man, with a small paunch, who lounges around in his boxers, yells at his neighbors for mowing their lawn on Saturday afternoons. Drinks beer after lunch while judging millennial kids and dreaming about buying a boat. (pisses in the garden despite having 5 toilets in the house) yup. that explains it.

Yeah, try number 2 with a cat. 😂 4. Call the ambulance.

My dog loves a good tugging war but I always put the rope away when we're done. I do this with a good majority of his toys (he can keep his plushies and one chewing bone) so he never gets tired of them and it's safer this way (I'm home with him all day so we play multiple times a day).

Drinking lots of water can be a sign of issues with kidneys

Disagree with the pet insurance. Even Choice Australia doesn't recommend pet insurance coz there is just too many catches, restrictions and fine print. Better to save a few dollars a week in a separate account or money box.

Grain free is also a marketing tactic coz dogs need some grains in their diet unless medically exempt. And vegan cat food should be illegal since they are obligate carnivores and can't thrive and survive without meat in their diet.

And a boop ain't a boop without a cold, wet nose.

If you value your sense of smell/sanity, never feed a dog jasmine rice. We had to evacuate the house her farts were so bad.

Toasty toes here!

I can't brush my cat's teeth. He won't let me. But, I did feed him oral care food plus feline greenies up until recently (had to change him to Rx food for kidneys) and my vet is always floored by his teeth. He is 14 now and has never once needed a cleaning or anything. The vet says, by his teeth he would have said my cat was 6, and that just from the wear. Pretty sure they think I'm lying about his age. But he was one of my foster kittens and I've had him since he weighed less than 2 lbs. I'm determined to keep him around as long as possible. Within reason of course, I wouldn't make him suffer needlessly.

Well, WHAT IS IT????????????
