    Default Pet Forum?

    Does anyone belong to a pet forum that they like? It's specifically for my cat, but I guess the cat and my ferret getting along also fall into my realm of concerns. I'm getting tired of asking my friends all of my many questions, and I'm sure they're tired of hearing them.

    Well, it's not really about the ferret. She's really friendly. The cat... well, it may just be a kitten thing, but he likes to rough-house a LOT. Unless he's cat-napping, he'll grab your hand when you try to pet him or at least bat at you. I almost feel like I have another ferret because he stalks my feet. It doesn't help that he's blind. I'm trying to introduce him and the cat (ok, kitten) no longer hisses but I don't feel comfortable just releasing them both to each other freely. (Of course, I can be overprotective...)

    ferrets and kittens can play supervised. if things get heated seperate them for a little while. both have claws and teeth, so they can protect each other. unless one of them screams they should be fine.

    My main fear is my ferret losing an eye. I guess I don't trust this kitten to be "normal" and accepting of new and different things without trying to destroy it out of self-preservation.

    That's a great idea! Like those plastic things you put over their nails! I'll try that!

    My kitten bit at my hand and still tries sometimes. I discourage her from doing that because if the habit carries over into when she's bigger, it'll actually hurt. As for the feet stalking thing. Yeah. House work for her is "catch mommy" time. Its normal, kittens learn to do big kitty things like hunt from playing when they're little.

    Yes it does. Marnie does it all the time. She never intends to hurt (it's only lightly) the majority of the time however sometimes.. yeah... OUCH!

    then again, she's a 2.5 yr old stray from the local animal shelter so she never really had it 'trained' out of her. at the same time, i find it endearing... hahaha.. as she does have different 'bites'.

    she has her demanding bite: "put me down", "don't put me down", etc and she has her "i'm so happy that i will bite you" bite ...hahaha.

    in answer. i'm over at http://www.cat-world.com.au/forums/index.php?&&CODE=00 for my cat related questions and everything cat.

    i don't bother SW with cat related stuff too much as i find that forum is helpful enough.

    it's not just for Australians and they do have a section for dog owners too.

    There is a pretty large group on myspace called cats rock that seems to be knowledgeable. It's private though so you have to join first.

    My kitty has pretty much grown out of the biting, but I think its only because I've trained her to stop. She knows that playtime is over If she doesn't stop after one warning. Another thing I did is when she would try this I'd replace my hand with a little cheap stuffed animal or other toy for her to fight with.
