Perhaps the question is rude and unpleasant but I’m asking it because I bumped into the answer on the Internet. And this site is about cats and animals in general. Having sex with a domestic cat would probably kill the cat but having sex with a domestic dog probably wouldn’t injure the dog but I …
In the UK, a cat or dog needs to be restrained inside the car when it is being driven under rule 57 of the Highway Code. I bet you didn’t know that! I didn’t. Knowing the rule possibly doesn’t make a great deal of difference to me or you because you probably almost automatically have …
Through one of their policewomen acting as a spokesperson, it appears that the UK police want cat owners to purchase GPS tracking collars for their cats after a spate of cat poisonings in Swindon. It seems to me, that the police want indoor/outdoor, unsupervised domestic cats to wear GPS tracking collars because it will help …

No, is the plain answer to the question in the title unless there are particular and unusual circumstances. We are able to say that with confidence because Hawaii’s legislature recently (early 2022) tried into pass a law (HB 1987) which permitted and indeed mandated the mass culling of feral cats by poisoning over a set …
NEWS AND COMMENT (Opinion): Will you be as disgusted as I am having read this article? I hope so as it is a failure in child care and inherently cruel. It is about asking kids to engage in potentially criminal activity. It is that bad. The North Canterbury Hunting Competition of New Zealand has been …

“We just got home from Maryland and we walked into our apartment and saw a bullet hole in our ceiling. Dropped our bags and grabbed my phone to call the police and saw that there was blood all over our apartment. Everywhere. The counters, tables, carpet everything. We found our baby Bowie was hit by …

It is not a crime to overfeed your cat to the point where they become obese. If it was there would be tens of millions of Americans in court charged with animal cruelty because there are tens of millions of overfed obese cats in America. The problem is not unique to America. Being less flippant …

This is the most outrageous example of what I’ll term ‘cat extortion’ that I have encountered. We know criminals steal cats and extort money for their return but in this instance an acquaintance allegedly demanded $10,000 for the return of a cat belonging to a 70-year-old Floridian. The victim was staying at a motel with …
Cohasset, Minnesota, USA: Pam Dowell’s neighbor, Steven Lee Mishow, always said that he hated cats. He said that he would shoot cats who came onto his property. He said he could do it because he’d be defending and preserving his property. Pam Dowell knew about the man’s hatred of cats. She invited him into her …

I see this as a bizarre incident. I can’t understand it. The newspapers have described it as a burglary of an animal sanctuary. However, the owners of the sanctuary have started a crowdfunding plea for money on the gofundme.com website and what they say does not concur with what the newspapers say, not exactly anyway. …

This is an interesting story about conflict between two people with very different attitudes towards companion animals. On the one hand we have Gail Benoit, who sees companion animals as “things” to trade for profit without regard to health and welfare. She was convicted of animal cruelty for selling sick and malnourished puppies in 2009. …

I have decided that it is just about possible that Walter Palmer, the instantly infamous dentist and father of two from Minnesota who took pleasure in killing Zimbabwe’s most famous male lion, was stitched up by the guides who led him into shooting Cecil, the lion, outside of his protected area, a national park. The …

WARNING – DON’T GET INVOLVED IF THIS MIGHT UPSET YOU – but is it fake (no!)? The video shows a boy killing two innocent and charming kittens. I have watched bits of it to confirm that it is the video. Although, I tend to never erase such images from my memory and I feel that …
