Nope, not following anyone at the moment

Although, if I find somebody to follow, I will. I was watching Cats 101 on Animal Planet last night, and there was a cat behaviorist I'd like to find on the Web. There was also a cat trainer in Las Vegas who picks up shelter cats and puts them in his stage act. I read Karen Pryor's stuff whenever she says something. I keep my pinky on that one.

I was originally trained to train dogs by Wodehouse. She is in England. I don't know who/what she was in life, but she taught me to train a very stubborn dog. It was the first time I ever tried to train a dog to do what I wanted it to do, not just what it picked up. I've always been able to train cats to do stuff. Some cats train better at one thing or another. Some like to jump, some like to attack, some will go through obstacles, or rings. Some love kennels and some want nothing to do with them. Each cat is different.

Anyways - just a quick post to let you know that no, I don't follow Google Forums or Groups. I probably should, but they get spammed by strange folks and animal cruelty freaks. There are some really knowledgable folks on the ones I used to follow. That was on the old computer, and I no longer have the links, sorry. That was Google, not Yahoo! or MSN.

Dont' get me started on MSN. I think the entire company needs to be taken apart and separated into the parts that it does best - programming. News is not it's forte' and it should get out.

And the programming team needs to fix what's wrong before it tries to force it on the rest of us.

I can't even read hotmail anymore because of the layers of crap that crash my computer. Anything of import is removed from Hotmail. The only stuff going there is a test of the e-zine, and junk. I can't even read the newsletters from my suppliers anymore. What a mess!

Flea Site is Gone

I took down Flea-fighters.com. I had a choice, and I made it. I look forward to really working on the big site, For-the-Love-of-Cats.com a lot. I hope you like the changes.

OOPS...

I sent out the newsletter unfinished. Instead of hitting up my readers with another issue right away to fix the oversight, I decided to leave it alone.

I've had a small fire at my house, restricted computer access and all manner of stuff going on. It's all an excuse but it did distract me. I guess something had to fall, and my newsletter issue was what fell.

Things are getting back to normal, but it will take a while yet for all the parts and pieces to balance out again.

Man! I Missed It!

Man, I totally missed this one!

The cats are cute! Anybody got the McCain counterpart????

ONP Community

My strength is in animal (cat) training. I have an uncanny ability to figure out what a cat is saying by it's behaviors when the behaviors are described thoroughly. That's how I do what I do.

I am restricting my comments at the Only Natural Pets Community Forum to the behavior area. I recommend some products, but I also talk about the training involved. This link will take you to the actual Forum topic I'm monitoring....

http://onlynaturalpetcommunity.com/forums/32.aspx

Please - contribute! I read all the posts and respond when it's right for me to. I am not "running" the topic, but certainly do contribute a lot. There are many folks who are gifted with cats out there, I'm just more visible than most.

Updates continue

I've been updating like crazy! Toys, homeopathic remedies, foods...

Man! Lots of work.

I pretty much took an action I've been putting off for a long time. I pulled all ads from one network, and only left a few from another, but those will go soon, too. I thought it was going that way a long time ago, but I kept hoping.

I'm over it. Too much work for no sales, since you guys don't like their stuff anyway. The stuff you like is still there. It isn't going away.

Basically, I'm as lazy as the next person, I guess. Internet businesses aren't supposed to be so darned hard and time-consuming. If things are that way, then you are doing something wrong. I've stopped doing the wrong things.

Been paying attention??

Have you been paying attention? I've been updating pages on the sly. First one to find the latest update gets a goodie!


Counseling is tight, and I've been getting good reviews from my clients.

If you have ever been counseled, please contribute - pay it forward/back, whatever, here...

Bad Cat Behaviors From Readers

Folks post their problems and other folks offer solutions. You can do it too!

Still accepting photos for the cool cats contest, too. That will end shortly, but only one entry, so if you don't enter, you can't win. The prizes are equal to $100, so it's a good one. Oh, and the prizes are NOT coupons. I've got a catalog here and I'm sending the goodies from that to the winner.

Summer Cool Cats Contest (2008)

So, get with it folks! Time's a passin'

Pictures Replaced!

Many of the photos of the flea meds went away and showed as a box. I just replaced all the photos, so that's what the updates are about. The links still work - never went down.

Neem Oil

I'm trying Neem oil in a new capacity - not on the cats but on me.

I've had a recent series of break-outs, and the docs call it "adult acne" but their meds don't seem to help much. So, I figured I'd give the Neem oil a try.

I'll get used to it, I promise!

Oh, and the cats don't care for it, but it does stop the fleas, so they put up with it.

Let's face it - the stuff has a strong odor that takes some getting used to. Very earthy.

New flea control!

There is a flea trap I found and was offering on Flea Fighters. I'll be looking at the product again for For-the-love-of-cats.com
