FW: [Gpdd] MISC- Cats & Piggies Update + My Website!

[Nancy Tuffli]

My kitten (one year old) also wants my piggies for toys/lunch.  I keep the 
pigs' door closed at all times.  I had a 17 year old cat and he could have 
cared less.  He even let my piggie suck on his fur.  You might have to keep 
them apart until your cat gets older.  My eight year old cat isn't as 
interested as the kitten, but I still don't trust her.  Neither are 
declawed.  I did try the soft paws but they usually fall off after a week 
and can get expensive.  I have also considered declawing but am trying to 
resist the temptation.

Good luck!

Great website, by the way.

>Hi all,
>   My kitten, Pixel, is not taking to the pigs as we would have liked.  She

>their cage though, as I have worked to adjust her to their noises and I 
>threw a can at her last time she jumped on top of the cage; she has yet to

>just in her nature to want to play with/kill them.  She is a very maniacle 
>cat, when she isnt sleeping she is running around the house like a nut 
>batting at and playing with everything.  I love her, she provides much 
>amusement, and though is very energetic, she is fully trustworthy (she's 
>yet to come close to ruining anything.)  AND for this reason, my parents 
>are reconsidering declawing her.  My mom said that if she doesn't destroy 
>anything, she won't declaw her.  The pigs were in their play pen yesterday, 
>and one moved quickly and she went to jump in and chase it, but I caught 
>her.  She also batted at Trixie when she was standing on the edge, and 
>Trixie ran away fast; when Pixel went to chase after her, I decided enough

>then extremely interested in getting into the pigs room, but when I put 
>them away, she didn't care about them again. So, for the time being I just 
>want her to not really care about the pigs; I don't think they will ever be 
>'friends', but as long as she isnt trying to get them in their cages, I am 
>fine.  Thanks for all of your help!
>    On a side note, I am a photographer, and I just finished getting a site

>Please look and tell me what you all think!  www.madilyn.cjb.net  Thanks!!
