Hi,
It doesn't look like there is any laws against not wearing a helmet, but he/she does look cute!

We live and ride in Texas but we plan on making the trip to Sturgis next year. This is the helmet I am going to buy for my feist. Also I have heard different stories as to the breeding history of the American Mountain Feist. One is that they were bred for fast footed bait in bear hunting, the other is that they are good squirrel catchers. Do you know anything about this breed? Thanks again, nomorebunnybusiness

Re: Sunburn!!

2008-07-24T09:07:47Z

Dear,
nomorebunnybusinees.
The best fix for your cats sunburn is to put a little bit of baby sunblock where she can not lick it off. Your vet may have some cat sunblock to help also. Another suggestion is don't let her sit in the window in the middle of the day(that is when the suns rays are the worst). The best times is in the late evening and in the early morning.

Good luck

Sunburn!!

2008-07-11T19:36:05Z

Dear Paws and Claws,

I have a problem. We just moved into a
house with a sunroom. My 4 year old
Mexican Hairless cat, Fluffy, loves to sit in
the window all day. But I won't let her
because after the first day she came in
bright pink. I tried to put a some kitty
clothes on her but she hated it. Please
give me a few ideas about what to do.

Sincerely,
Window Pain
P.S. I love your site =)

Dog helmet safety laws

Dear Critter Talk,

My American Mountain Feist likes to ride
with me when I go out on my motorcyle.
I have a cool spiked collar for him and
everything. My question is; What are the
laws concerning canine helmets and where
can I get one?

Thanks in advance,
Canine one one.

Digging a hole is a great idea. Just put it everywhere. It will run them out and maybe you could set up some traps.

Good luck

Very Interesting!! There is one problem though. I don't think there is a hole. There are just trails and trails of underground tunnels that raise the ground. I believe moles fill in their hole when they go into their tunnel. They stay completely underground.

If you dug into their tunnel and put grounds in there, would they leave the yard or build tunnels elsewhere in the yard?

Funny little critters :)

I have found a good way to get rid of moles. Takes some granulated Castor oil or coffee grounds and pour them down the moles hole. Let me know how it works.

Well about the running out the door, maybe if cat has a favorite treat that is not messy you could give her the treat every now and then to distract it when you go out the door. It just might become habit to wait for the treat inside and not bolt out. But it could backfire though and when the cat hears you going out the door she could come flying around the corner to get the treat when she might not have done before.

Now for the counter problem since that more of a random thing the treat solution might not work. I have no idea besides greasing the counter. But i wouldn't recomment this because it could get kind of messy but it depends how desperate you are.. good luck cmath.

Moles

2008-06-08T09:36:48Z

My parent's acre of land is full of moles. They have 2 vacant lots next to them and the moles seem to be multiplying. They have a trap but it is not controlling them and their yard is completely dug up. Does anyone have a good solution to controlling them?

Why do cats purr?

2008-06-08T09:33:09Z

Does anyone know why cats pur? Is it because they are happy? My cat purrs a lot and I hope it's because she's a happy.

If your cat doesn't run to far from home then every time she runs out make her stay out for awhile. Then she will notice that every time she runs out she has to stay out side.

As for the jumping on the counter problem just put two sided tape on the edges so every time she jumps up on it then she will get stuck. She will soon understand that jumping up on counters results in having to get out of two sided tape.

Got a question

2008-05-09T12:33:48Z

My cat keeps running out the front door when I open it up. She doesn't run away but it is very annoying to have to fight with her every time I open the door.

Also my cat jumps on the kitchen counter all of the time. I have tried everything I know and she still does it. The more I get on to her the more she does it behind my back. What do you suggest.

Any ideas anyone?
