When there are too many cats, animal control will probably take them to animal shelters.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
X-raying cats, when injured or ill, & other veterinary procedures, can cost a lot of money, so pet insurance is being introduced so owners can afford their upkeep.

Young kittens should be taken to the veterinarian to get its shots.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Zebra crossings & traffic lights have no meaning for cats, who like to wander away from home across busy roads.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Are there any others here who love both cats and dogs?

Beautifully trained cats & dogs can do wonders for lonely pensioners as companions & therapy pets.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Care homes can arrange to have specially trained animals visit from organisations like Pets as Therapy — at the home where I work, we regularly have visits from dogs and even a lovely gentle pony!

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Dogs need a lot more attention than cats, which is why I generally prefer cats, as they take care of themselves, and go out and play without your having to watch they are not digging up gardens and chasing cars.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Every now and then I've heard of cats like Oscar, who was able to sense when people were dying & would stay with them patiently & comfortingly, so they were never alone in their final hours.

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Fascinating, isn't it, how animals can so often sense things we humans can't?

Goats at Taronga zoo went around with a keeper, to visit fellow residents of the zoo from Meerkats to Giraffes, & including elephants and seals.

How could I forget Taronga Zoo's "miracle" baby elephant, Pathi Harn, who came out alive when all the medical evidence suggested he had died in utero — I was working in Sydney at the time and was following the news with amazement!

Re: Alphabet Conversation
Indeed, it was a very good animal story, to go with so many other wonderful stories such as the heroism of staff at Mogo Zoo, down near Bateman's Bay, who fought the bushfires, before the fireys could get there, to rescue their entire stock of wild animals.

Just looking that story up (I had heard something about it at the time but had forgotten the details) — how wonderful!
