She ends up with many of them and has many of everything at her house.<br /> I told her about my cat Kitty and how I whistle and he comes running. she said cats don't do that. I trained him the same as I would a dog. I found out they are pretty smart and like a dog or kid will respond to the proper action.<br /> One of my sons was here yesterday and I always tell him kitty thinks he is a dog but yesterday affirmed it for him.<br /> He follows me everywhere! When I was outside working around the yard he would come with me and just lie beside me while I worked<br /> When I move on he does too. Bill sat down on the front veranda and kitty lied down on the ground at his feet. He is a big cat too. When we went in I whistled and he followed. Pretty cool!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-9463336618866535902009-06-08T01:30:11.721-04:002009-06-08T01:30:11.721-04:00Average Patriot--
"...a guy has to mature int...Average Patriot--<br />"...a guy has to mature into liking cats."<br />Never thought of it that way--that's pretty astute, because although I love ALL creatures(okay, I'm not-so-fond of insects and reptiles), most folks only like animals that "obey" them, and cats don't do "obedience"--they serve only themselves!<br />Don't keep feeling so bad about "putting down" your elder-dog. I posted at this blog about the incredibly painful decision I had to make, when "Frisco", our Aussie was stricken with inoperable Spleen Cancer.<br />You can find it(there are 3 posts on her: her death, her life, her cremation--in that order.) in the Feburary 2008 blog posts here at Lisa Allender Writes, under "Archives". Peace, man, and I hope you all are feeling well these days.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-44287864397553134282009-06-07T19:41:54.341-04:002009-06-07T19:41:54.341-04:00Lisa

It is there house they just let you live there to take care of them. I will never put a dog down again it is the hardest thing I ever did.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-78766646253620384822009-06-06T19:58:02.276-04:002009-06-06T19:58:02.276-04:00Average Patriot--Hi there.

Though I am very allergic to cats, I definitely support adoption of these sweet creatures. I hope your son's dog found a great home. And I'm sorry for your loss of your older dog. Sounds like your kitty(ies) have a great home!Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-12001407744282813332009-06-05T15:25:00.483-04:002009-06-05T15:25:00.483-04:00If I was going to get another dog it would be from...If I was going to get another dog it would be from a shelter. I have always been a dog man but have turned into a cat man.<br /><br /> After my last son went it the military I had to let my dog go because at 1 year and 110 pounds he was too big for me to handle. He was so friendly he let all the kids ride him around the neighborhood when they weren't torturing him.<br /> <br /> I'll tell you what, I had to put one of my dogs to sleep as he was old. I never got over either and if I was ever in that position I would be opening a shelter.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.com
