So cute~!
I found a dead lizard in the living room yesterday, another "present" from my cat. I almost picked it up, 'cause I thought it was my cousin's toy. It looked cute.
Ooooh, I want a ferret like that too!

That cat is cute, but he can be EVIL as well. Yeah, getting pens, pencils, & toothbrushes as presents from the Mighty Hunter sure beats dead animals & parts of dead animals - esp. since he likes to leave them in my bed! 🤣

I've never experienced anything like that... but one of my pups... likes to catch the birds that swoop down into the yard in his mouth... he jumps like 3 feet in the air sometimes to catch 'em.. though, he doesn't hurt 'em.. once he opens his mouth again, they just fly away... but it leads me to constantly brushing his teeth and mouth just in case of any germs, ect
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

Ooooh~I have a quick question to pet lovers here.
Have you ever traveled on plane with a pet? How was it? I'm thinking of taking my cat with me next year to a different country, but I'm not sure how he'll do in the plane (T_T) I can't leave my kitty when I live somewhere else!

Better not. It's stressful on the cat, unless it absolutely necessary you shouldn't do it.

Traveling on the plane with the pet... doesn't it mean putting it into the cabin, where it's freeeeeezing...? I'll never let my cats go there!

Can't you put them next to you? Inside their carrier?
I'm thinking it would be too much for my cat too, 'cause it's almost a 20 hr plane ride. But can't they have like a sleeping pill or sedative?

I don't think you could carry it with you... because the other passengers might be allergic to the cats, so they probably won't allow it =s
(and if not cats, dogs will bark. They'll definitely not allow them!)
The freezer is where they go! (I think for all pets... Including birds..?) So, you could give them a sleeping pill (I think I would too!), so they won't feel the cold..?

I take all my dogs (a lot of luggage, let me tell ya 🤣 ) with me when I go over seas to visit family.. I just got to the vet and get a sedative for 'em.. they're perfectly fine.. but.. they're also used to it

No freezers >.<
Yea, I should prolly ask the vet for those. I just hope they'd work on him. My cat gets stressed easily. 🤣

Oh.. so do my dogs.. especially my youngest.. I was out of town for a week and couldn't bring them with me.. and he actually chewed through a wall, ate my couch cushion.. chewed on a few table legs... when he's stressed out.. he's completely destructive..

Aw, he missed you! My cat's like that too, but to a lesser degree. But yea, he got skinny and won't eat as much when I was on vacation.
I wonder if those pet psychiatrist and masseur actually work on stressed animals. XD

I never have, but I have heard that some countries require animals to be in quarantine for something like six months before they're allowed into the country. It's been a while so I'm really hazy on the details, and I think it was a dog the person I talked to was taking in, but it'd be good to make sure your kitty would be allowed in. (Maybe you already know, just wanted to bring up the possibility because thinking you could take your kitty and then not being able to after all would really suck. 😔 )
I gave one of my cats a sedative before a six-hour car trip once. She was still upset & stressed, just also groggy and disoriented, poor thing. Didn't seem like an improvement, but she wasn't a particularly nervous cat (though she howled in the car like it was torture).
