Orange Collars for Indoor Cats
By Jess
Have your indoor cats wear an orange collar to mark them as a cat who shouldn't be outside, or a "convict kitty". This will help neighbors differentiate your cat from outdoor pets who don't need help.
Taking Care of Your Outdoor Cat
By erica garin
If you plan on having a pet cat and want it to be an outdoors cat, be prepared for it to come scratched or harmed by other cats. You should have a first aid kit for just in case because your cat is bound to get into some trouble.
By Donna
Instead of buying expensive cat litter I use the cheapest clay litter but keep a jar of baking soda on the top of the litter box.
Use an Oatmeal Container as a Guinea Pig Toy
By Robyn
This is LuLu, in her cylinder. I recycled an oatmeal canister for my guinea pig because they like to go into and hide in little hidey holes. I have seen them at pet stores and they are just cardboard cylinders. I go through four or five of these every week.

It cost $13.00 for a Santa suit for Digby and it was easy to make. I made it sort of small as the piggy grows so fast, but I can use it on my small dog next year.

The Siamese is a medium-sized cat with a long, elegant and muscular body with a long, thin tail that tapers to a fine point. Their legs are long and slender (longer in the rear than in front) and end with small, oval paws.
