| SPOKANE AREA ALERT Alert: Please be aware that a 'backyard breeder' (kittens without papers) is advertising in the Newport, Washington area...Expensive kittens from breeders obtained by fraudulent means.( Kittens were sold as Pet Only, bred without permission from Owners and CFA. ) These people sell both dogs and kittens and have a record shown on Pet-abuse.com Be sure the kittens you buy are registered with CFA or TICA. If you are adversely affected, contact Animal Authorities .The name is Jeanette LaRocca Bergman... Their previous conviction is a matter of Public Record and those records are on Pet Abuse.com They have now obtained their new breeders fraudulently. |
| Do you have a reservation on the Waiting List? If I offer you a different gender because there is more of one than the other...Please let me know immediately if you want to wait for another litter. The next ones are due in September and October. You are welcome to wait as long as you wish. The new litters will be coming throughout the Fall and Winter. If you aren't on the lists and wish to be, please contact me regarding that process. 'Waiting' always seem ominous! I will not place more people on the lists than I will have kittens...The majority of the 'waiting' is involved in the growth and development of the kitten. The kittens are here in safe arms with excellent care and socializing until you take them to live with you and your family. I appreciate the kindness, understanding and patience I receive from everyone as we all 'Wait' for time to move forward. I so appreciate those who have responded quickly to my request regarding making the choices. I felt I needed to notify everyone,on the web site, as well as privately...so each of you will understand the process as it moves along in the placement of kittens which are on the Waiting Lists. This is a very exciting time for everyone. All of the kittens which have arrived are extremely beautiful, strong and waiting for their new families to begin communication with them!! This is always a wonderful time for me as the babies are born, open their eyes and begin to absorb the world around them. Each day brings something new to them...and from them as they begin to wobble around...to discover a sibling which they can 'poke'...and find they receive a poke in return. Thanks to all of you who continually make this 'job', the most important and the most pleasant one I've had... Barbara |
| Some of the new babies are here! Those who are on the Waiting Lists will be choosing first. After those people have chosen, if there are more kittens, they will be available to those who were not previously on the lists. |
Walking the Cat
If you've got an indoor cat, you may wonder what it would be like to give her
a taste of the outdoors. Many cat owners are opposed to letting their pet
visit the backyard - and with good reason - while others think that the
alternative of walking kitty on a leash is a bit, well, out there. But a few will
give it a shot, and a small percentage might incorporate a walk into their
cat's exercise regime.
10 Tips for Training Your Cat on a Harness
First, evaluate your cat. Is your cat outgoing and sufficiently extroverted to
tolerate the sights, sounds and smells outside of your home? Shy and
introverted cats are not good prospects for leash training. Breeds that are
more likely to tolerate leash training include the Abyssinian, Maine Coon
and Manx, but your local shelter can also help you identify adoptable cats
who have exhibited personality traits that suggest that they’re good
candidates for leash training.
Don’t attempt if you don’t have medical insurance. Cat scratches can be
very nasty and can require hospitalization.
The fit of your cat’s harness should be snug but not restrict the cat’s range
of motion. You should be able to slip a finger between the harness and your
cat with a tiny bit of wiggle room. Too much wiggle room and your cat can
wriggle right out of the harness.
I don’t recommend the type of inexpensive harness that’s made out of the
same material as your leash. It’s the easiest to wriggle out of and the most
difficult for your cat to become accustomed to wearing. Try a Puppy
harness or similar style for the best results.
Practice leash training indoors before taking the show outside.
It’s natural for your cat to do the “snake slither” when you put a harness on
her. If, after a dozen attempts, she never removes her belly from the
ground, give it up. She’s not a good candidate for leash training.
Young cats are easier to train than senior cats. Don’t stress your senior cat
by forcing leash training on him.
Never take your cat anywhere outside the home without ID tags.
At first, it’s easier and safer to have a friend or family member accompany
you on your training walks. In the event that your cat wriggles free and
escapes, she’ll be easier to corral if another person is helping.
For the first couple of weeks, limit your outdoors exposure to your yard and
nearby homes. When she becomes comfortable with your yard, expand the
perimeter.
If your cat hates the harness, consider a pet stroller instead.
Walking your cat on a leash can be a rewarding and bonding experience for
you both. If it isn't fun...it isn't something you will want to continue!
