Pet License Questions Answered in the City of Duluth

Cathy Kates — Fri, 24 May 2013 13:17:31 +0000

I grew up in the country, we didn't need to register our dogs or cats there. After several months of living in the City of Duluth my friend asked if I had a license for my pet. WHAT? Never had to before, so the answer was no. Questions then came to mind, why, how, how much? I hope this blog answers your questions and helps with the procrastination you've experienced getting your dog or cat licensed with the City of Duluth.

It's National Pet Week, Are You A Dog Or Cat Person? [POLL]

Ken Hayes — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:10:31 +0000

This week is National Pet Week, which happens to coincide with "Be Kind To Animals" week. Our family has a cat, which you've probably heard me complain about periodically. Cathy's family has two dogs, one being a brand new puppy. (You've probably heard her complain about the puppy too.) But we both love our pets, and wanted to take a poll of our listeners and to see if we have more "cat people" or "dog people.

Staff Writer — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:26:09 +0000

[onescreen item="5031866"] Cats vs. mirrors: the battle rages on. We suppose it could be confusing, but a lot of these cats are grown-up cats—by now you’d think they’d recognize that other cat who keeps doing the making the exact same movements they’re making. As for the kittens, it’s just a part of growing up. Cherish [...]

Ken Hayes — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:42:34 +0000

Maxxis is a very loveable cat and one of the shelter's favorites. However, Maxxis has Feline Immunodeficiency Syndrome (FIV) and is looking for someone to love him and take him home. His condition only requires that he stays completely indoors and doesn't live with any other cats that are FIV negative. Otherwise there is nothing else he needs besides a good home!

Internet Unsurprisingly Chooses Cat For Newest Monopoly Piece

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:56:08 +0000

The public has spoken and Monopoly will cast away the boring old iron token, a symbol of domestic housework from a simpler time (it's not even an electric iron), which has been included in the board game for almost 80 years.

In its place will be a cat. Hey, are you really that surprised? The internet loves cats.

A Video Collection of Cats Licking Boyfriends — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:40:39 +0000

[onescreen item="5005850"] Not their boyfriends, of course. Cats have an instinct to clean. They spend up to 15 percent of their day grooming themselves. So maybe it’s not that weird to expect a cat to do the same for a nearby human. Most of us shower merely once a day—we must be plain filthy in [...]

Daily Distraction — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:30:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5000740"] They say lions in the wild sleep 20 hours a day. That might be an understatement. Now, we love ourselves a good cat nap here and there, but we’ve got nothing on these felines. We’ve heard how, after enough time, people begin to look like their pets. However, judging by these cats’ postures, [...]

Hilarious Video of Cats Playing Patty Cake

Ken Hayes — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:45:05 +0000

I actually laughed out loud when I saw this. What the heck are these cats doing? Sometimes cats do things that we never will fully understand, and it sure looks like they were doing patty cake.

10 Cats Dressed Like Reindeer

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:15:28 +0000

Not that we're counting or anything, but Christmas is only 27 days and a few hours away, which means it's time to get into the spirit ASAP. Now, this doesn't mean going 'Gangnam Style' crazy with house lights. You also don't have to go buying the 12 days of Christmas to prep for the holidays either, although that would be super awesome. It can require very little to no effort to feel all tingly with Christmas excitement, like making obnoxiously long gift lists or dressing up our cats like reindeer. Come on, you know we can't get through the holidays without embarrassing our pets.

Know Your Cat's Limitations So They Don't Bite You

Ken Hayes — Thu, 24 May 2012 14:42:02 +0000

Seriously? What the heck is this. Don't ask me why I was on the Mother Nature Network, but I was. I think I clicked from one link to another, and then another, and then I saw this article. "Why Does My Cat Bite When I Pet Her." Our fussy little cat bites all of us. Why? I don't know. That's why I clicked the link. Here's the answer.
