Pets and you

Some pictures of my cute cat =D

LOL!

Reminds me of when our youngest daughter, at about the age of three, decided that our really big fantails were bored and lonely and would like to play Barbies with her. She took them out of the tank and dressed them in barbie clothes... and was devastated that they did not survive. Her older siblings were not very understanding about it and there was some rancor that she "killed" their beautiful fish.

I did something similar when I was 3 years old, we had these cute little baby chickens (dunno the english name for it, see pic > )

and I picked one up and and it felt so soft that I squeezed him almost to death :( but thank god my mother arrived in time and took the little baby chicken out of my hands and it was still breathing.

I have a funny photo of an Irish Wolfhound (the tallest) and a Little Italian Hound - I'm not sure of the english name-(the smallest)

i think its Italian whippet, but the breed is mostly known as Piccolo :)

Irish Wolfhounds were use by the Romans in arenas against lions ...

True, Romans were totally fascinated with the dogs of celtic britain and strated importing them before they conquered the land
But the true star of roman arenas remains molossian dog - primitive root breed of huge built that is now extinct and gave rise to various Mastiff breeds as well as great dane.

My veterian is found of, too ;) but my dogs are not found of their doctor ! He says he could make an anatomia lesson on them, as you see all the musculature ( I see them as the Massaï people).

I am total sucker for sight hounds, especially shorthaired ones, probably for the same reasons like your vet - defintion of every single muscle. Sprinting sight hound - well thats a poetry in motion :)
on those lines here are some pictures of maltese Kelb Tal fenek a.k.a (wrongly) Egyptian Pharaoh Hound in action

For Deckard, a very nice photo of a daughter of Harsisi:

very nice, thanks.

I am done with pets, especailly dogs. keep only fish these days. What CS had to say on the subject just confirmed this notion.

But from time to time I do miss my dog and I am tempted to take in another one. Like when i see pictures like those of your dogs.

the Kelb Tal fenek looks like Podencos with his straight ears...I never saw one.

and your young elephant, no? :)

Your cat seems lovable. He got a good head.

I love those stripes :)

Now, my turn. Behold - the mighty Pixel :D

She was quite wild during her early years (months actually ;) ).

She liked to show off and just chill

After several years (again - months actually) she discovered the benefits of daily stretching.

And now she has a goal to introduce "stretching revelations" to the masses. Notice the fire in her eyes. (Actually she saw something interesting outside the window...)

We have a cat called Bella. Bella is about 4 years old now. She was the runt of the litter when we got her and has developed into a very idiosyncratic little animal. She appears to be a touch schizophrenic. One moment she throws herself at your feet and demands to be patted, the next she is biting you for doing it. You can almost see the battle going on in her head - loving the patting but desperately wanting to bite you at the same time, and generally the biting wins. Luckily all our children are grown up as I think she would wreak havoc with little kids. The vet tried to get us to put her on anti-depressants. We dispatched that idea immediately for two reasons, firstly there is no way we are going to dope up the cat with drugs that we wouldn't take and second it would be me trying to stuff the tablets down her throat every day..... She tolerates me now, she would hate me if I did that to her ever day (and no she will NEVER eat tablets in her food, of any sort, even for fleas or the like, she knows immediately and refuses to eat the food.)

We have managed to ameliorate the effects to some extent by using a pheromone infuser in where she sleeps, certainly makes her more docile and we can tell when the infuser is empty as the level of scratching and biting increases dramatically. We have also recently started her on a homeopathic remedy for the emotions and it has been having quite a startlingly good effect - much more affectionate, much less aggression.

I have to say she really is a constant reminder of what total control we exercise over our 2D pets, even to whether they go on living or not ( and as such a constant reminder of what control 4D try for over us) . My wife often remarks that many other families would probably just have had her put down as she does not provide many of the benefits a domesticated cat normally provides in being friendly and affectionate. Still, we love her, we tolerate her funny little traits and we have a little sign over her cat door which we picked up in France - "Le Chat Lunatique"

To me most of the cats appear to be touch shizophrenic ;)

Our cat has exactly the same behavior. And we also know that other people would get rid of her already - she is not the kind of "friendly" cat people expect to get. I always thought that maybe she got some trauma during her first month or days because she has this thing with hands. One second she allows you to touch her and want to be petted, the second later because of hand position or what ever she find threatening - she tries to bite and becomes hostile. And it is incredible to notice how she switches between those two completely different attitudes.

Are you saying it is possible to help her somehow? What kind of homeopathic treatment are you giving her, if I may ask?

But 2nd density don't even know what STO is or STS, so I think if one really takes care of their cat or dog and gives them enough love it would not be really something toward STS or so it seems, because you are protecting him against the cruel world outside, I mean a parent won't let his kid play out of her sight, because otherwise they might get lost.

Protecting against a cruel world can also mean protecting against lessons, if it is done excessive. Some would rather die than to live in captivity, e.g. try desperately to escape.

I would say, with pets, as with all other interactions, it is important to observe if you are keeping them to serve you self or serve your pet. If it is true that pets, as companions of man, are "upper" 2D and some seek to progress to 3D and further, an upper density interaction can certainly extremely beneficial to aid this development. Because it is aked in some way.

Making decisions about your pet becomes increasingly difficult if it gets old and ill. We had our black cat for 14 years until she nearly died from water in her lungs in a cold winter. It broke my heart watching her to collect some warmth in front of our fireplace, because I knew she was dying. She suffered, and we decided to ease her pain by puncturing the lung, and put her to sleep afterwards. This decision is probably STS. Maybe she would have had some more lessons in her short life, e.g. her natural, painful death as a lesson.

But those are all difficult questions.

Our first cat had a similar reaction. She nearly scratched out my left eye because I approximated too fast. Although her mother was a domesticated and friendly cat, she was born in wilderness and stayed her first hours there. One day she left us without a trace. I think, various traumas in the first moments of life are important causes for "unfriendly" behaviour. In animals as in humans.

That's I think one of the most important things regarding pets, to observe yourself how you are dealing with your pets, there is a difference between people who just want a pet for their own fun and don't care much about anything else, and people who want pets because they want to take care of them and love them like a mother that loves his child.

My cat has one bad habit though, he thinks that my right arm is a female cat so he sometimes tries to flirt with my right hand and makes those weird kitty sounds and tries to hump it, well I can't blame him, my arm does look kinda hot and none can resist the hotness of my arms

I got really sad when I read the part about your black cat, and I can't possible imagine how you felt that day, sometimes...it's just impossible to explain things...

Thank you for your sympathies...

LOL!!! Yes, they are not always the smartest!

Edit: In a mating season ours went through a HOT and winding ventilation shaft behind the active fireplace just to get out to her admirers. Well, certainly a dangerous undertaking! Hormones can be so effective! :)

I am not sure. I will find out and let you know.

I never read something about animals that was as concise and as true as this:

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.
They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

I have to tell this story which has been on my mind for some time
A few years ago we used to breed rats for a friend who is a wildlife-rescue person
speziallising in snakes(here in Oz snakes are protected and if you find one in your garden
you call the snake-man to take it away to be released somewhere else)
We kept them in some old hanging cupboards in the shed with the doors taken off and replaced
with glass and birdcage wire ,there was daddy-rat and the two girl-rats ,the girls used to give
birth within days of each other in seperate nests but then they move all the babies into one nest.
Dad stayed in the nest with them and when they both went out for a feed he would stay
in the entrance tunnel to keep the draught out.When the babies were old enough they were moved
to the next cupboard were they play and be looked after by their older siblings .there was no fighting no incest no pregnancies ,for socalled 2D these guys were very STO .All this ended when
a wild python came from the bush and ate the lot .years before this the kids had some pet mice
-what a difference-the males had to be seperated or they eat the babies and later the older brothers would literally rape their sisters to death MICE ARE NOT NICE give me a rat anytime
which brings me to "darkness over Tibet" where it is said rats and other vermin are on a down
wards path ,and I disagree,mice yes they are nasty but rats have a real sense of family
maybe this is one of my holy cows I still have to work on I also have an affinity for ravens ,I have
talked to them as long as I can remember and there is always at least one where ever I go even in the city -- but i'm rambling on sorry if this is a "noisy" post or the wrong place ,I just had to get this off my chest RRR

I am not sure. I will find out and let you know.

The two things we are doing are:
1. Feliway Pheremone infuser which operates at night in her sleeping area.
2. Homeopathic remedy called "Stramonium" - we give her 7 drops a day in her food

We have found significant behavioral improvements with this combination of treatment.
