I'm pretty sure dogs can be vegetarian. No cat would stand for it though.

The Princess is really into croissants, she'll also finish any sushi that's left, and is a big fan of canned tuna.  

Pixel on the other hand, even after losing all that weight, is still really picky of what to eat. At one point we had 3 different brands of dry food, and 2 of the pate stuff. Still didn't eat, as it wasn't "fresh" enough, We got something this morning, for the "connoisseurs" among cats. Seems to be the trick, just had it one day though.

No way I'm gonna try to get one of them on a non meat diet, it's hard enough to satisfy them with normal cat food.

That or they do that thing where they skin a mouse leaving the head and guts on your doorstep

so is the general consensus here that cat owners are smarter than dog owners or what? 

Being a dog owner I hate the superiority that cat owners try to lord over the true masters of the animal world...

So, some of the kids found some arts and crafts paint in the shed, which naturally found its way on to Ammy.

We always had budgies when I was a kid.  I also had a bad run at keeping them myself in my early 20s.  One escaped, one got a massive cyst on its wing and one fell into a bucket of bleach.  What's changed with their budgie?  Eating habits or personality?

Its lethargic, yesterday it went for its seed 11 times (it normally goes twice) and a big black mark has appeared on its beak. It also hasn't chirped in a week.

My wife made me get ride of my dog 
when we got divorced. She refused to 
Keep him until I found some place to live.
That was two years ago. 
He's called Revel.

I'm sad already today and that's just made me sadder

Noone should ever have to give up a pet for those reasons. A pox on the ex.

Cats are great, fuq da h8rs. Nina will tell you...

...or maybe not...

I'll second Kim's vegie dog comment, pretty sure they're omnivorous.

My lady's cat is settling in.  He's small and timid but gradually finding his way around.  Apparently he destroyed a woollen  jumper, so he's obviously coming good.

The problem with budgies is that I've never had one that got ill in the same way as any of the others. Even vets don't seem to know what they're doing half the time - when one of mine got a cyst on its wing, they stuck a needle in it, drained the fluid, charged me £56 and sent me home with a pet that didn't see the morning. The black mark thing sounds ominous, moreso than the eating habits (which does sound strange, although perhaps the owners are subconsciously looking for oddities as it's behaving differently - we had budgies for two decades and I couldn't tell you how often any of them ate). Despite knocking vets for the first half of this paragraph it sounds like time for a check up. Sorry I can't be more help, like I said I didn't have a great track record keeping them, even though I've technically got the experience. I do know they can suffer from heart problems, which would fit with the lethargy perhaps.

I don't think Brookscats hate me.

Yeah but one day you'll trip and do your back in and be unable to move and be all like "cats, cats, call for help" and the cats WILL NOT CALL FOR HELP they will eat you from the feet up.

Like Verger's boars, but smaller.
