Would you get offended if someone asked you to fill out an application for a pet cat? I have a part time job in which I do cat adoptions for a local shelter. We usually bring cats to local pet stores to do more adoptions. One of the rules if someone wants to "see" or "handle" a cat is for them to fill out a screening application first. The reason why the person in charge made this rule was made for the following reasons: (1) To stop it from becoming a petting zoo. Most kids or kid's parents just want to pet cats or kittens just for their child's entertainment. (2) Not to distract the staff/volunteers if people are not truly interested in adopting. We leave the cats in the pet store all the time and we (the shelter) is responsible for keeping the cat cages clean. We come in during posted adoption hours and have usually twelve cages to clean. We are more than happy to talk to interested adopters, but can't stop what we are doing to take cats our for people to pet. Keep in mind there is usually only one person on duty each shift. (3) We look for certain criteria For example, we do not adopt to anyone who lets cats outdoors. We do not want to spend 20 minutes letting someone hold a cat and then have them fill out the application and then tell them sorry you can't have it. When I first started volunteering, I never really enforced this application rule because I wanted to avoid conflict with people. But I ended up spending so much time with people that weren't really interested and not having enough time to clean cages. Also, sometimes if I let one kid pet a cat, I attracted a whole boatload of kids who wanted to pet/hold cats and it turned into a petting zoo/day care center. Now, I have been seriously enforcing it. And I get a stunned reaction every time I tell people they have to fill out a screening application before they can hold a cat. Why? Don't people understand that cats are not merchandise? And we are not going to just sell (adopt) a cat to anyone just because they have the money? How do you feel about this rule?

It is such a shame that some of you have lost your precious pets, or that they have been sickened by the wheat gluton scare . Are most of you going to research your pet food before feeding them to your pets?? I know that I am in the process of doing that now for my two cats. I always thought that I was feeding pretty good food, but now I will be trying to feed only the best. Money is no object, as is with our own food, so why not for our dear pets that depend on us for their food??? I just bought a bag of Wellness CORE, adult cat food,grain free, and high in protein. It is a product of Old Mother Hubbard. It has all very good things in it. I will give them some on a gradual basis, along with the Chicken Soup and Evolve.

How do I stop my cat from biting and scratching me when I try to pet him? I found a stray about 1 month and 1/2 ago and he is half siamese and tabby. He is full sized maybe a 1-2 yrs old and very playful. I play with him every morning before work and after, so he gets lots of attention. It seems only at night when I sleep he wants to cuddle and be a pet-able cat, otherwise everytime I want to pet him he tries to grab and bite me. I know its playful and I dont want to get him declawed... Does anyone have any advice?? (((I know siamese cats are a little on the wild side))) He will play all day with me if he could, and we have! Its only at night when Im sleeping does he come up to me and cuddle between us... even if I have played with him for two hours he not tired, just more friskey!

What is the most amazing thing you have seen a pet cat do? Did you know that most cats can jump up to six times their own height? - Cats are able to do some extraordinary things when healthy! Cats by nature are obligate carnivores, so their metabolism and dietary needs are different from other species, including dogs. Cats' bodies work best when they consume a high-protein diet which reduces reliance on their less-efficient carbohydrate metabolism. Perhaps you have an amazing story about your own cat, or perhaps it is a friend’s cat – we are looking forward to hearing your best true anecdotes.

What do you think of this claim and has anyone else experienced this? Serious answers only please.

Is it legal to allow a pet cat to wonder the neighborhoood? Am I allowed to trap it? I live in a neighborhood with 3 or 4 registered cats that are allowed to roam freely, day and night. I came home yesterday to find one of these cats hiding by my bird feeder, looking to catch a free meal. I'm indifferent about cats, but as a bird fan, this really ticks me off. The cats all have ID tags, but they run when approached. I was considering using a live animal trap to catch the cat and return it to the owner, but I doubt they'll get the message without a fine. If allowing a cat to roam freely isn't a finable offense, then I welcome your suggestions. Calling the animal wardon isn't an option - they won't come unless the cat is hostile towards humans. Seems to me that someone allowing a dog to roam the neighborhood wouldn't get the same blind eye. Thanks for the answers. I would, however, like to give special recognition to "teresathegreat" for contributing the most pathetic answer. Why the heck would I go out of my way to pay for a device to accomidate somebody's fantasy to have an outdoor cat? I'm also not going to pour chemicals and maintain my yard to guard against the same. I'm considering trapping the cat and relocating it somewhere very far away.

Why does my cat look like she's massaging when I pet her? When I pet my cat, she moves her paws in a way that looks like shes massaging or kneading dough. I've seen other cats do it, so I know I'm not the only one!
