Pet Lovers: What Have You Got?

[udon]

They scream and are very destructive and your neighbours want to kill you

The buggers are everywhere here in SYD flying wild destroying phone lines etc.... and anything made of timber, that includes houses!

[Longsands]

Worked in the Oz bush - those cockatoos/gallahs drove me postal!!

I have a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever - Mimi.

Just had her mated last week, intending to keep one puppy as company for her.

Had a battle royale with the missus when we first got her - she wanted her banned from inside the house but I said no. Compromised with the upstairs being off limits.

My best friend.

You say "Never buy a Cockatoo"...  Why???  Have owned one in the states for years and really enjoyed the bird...  Now thinking of trying to find one in Thailand..

In Melbourne I had them squaking outside my window every morning. Couldn't believe people in Canada pay hundreds of dollars for them.

I was kinda regretting not bringing the 12 guage down there with me.

Strewth....That sound would drive me more insane than I am now!

[Silvercharm]

I've got a mini-schanuzer that I was able to buy here. She's really good at catching the mice that on ocassion will get into the home from nearby fields. Good all around pet and watchdog. She's my baby, that's for sure.

Cute pup.... but that stare looks rather disturbing with the redye blacked out like that.

Use to have "Romper" an Iguana back home but have to give it away as i was moving to Bangkok.

Now i got "Stomper", a 9 month Miniature Pinscher. Can't seem to stop it from bitting though.

[udon]

Ex,

try some hot chilli sauce on yr hands or wherever he/she likes to bite you.

He will learn fast.

[aletta]

Bought some chirpy little zebra finches down the market for the children.Sweet little things and you can let them out to fly around the house and they will return back to the cage eventually.

I wouldn't call myself a pet lover as I don't have any, but I am definitely a pet hater when it comes to our neighbour's cats... p*ssing and sh*tting all over our lawn and garden, sitting on the bonnet of my car at night - scratching the paintwork in the process, fighting and howling at each other at night, dropping their stolen half masticated scraps of food at our back door... etc.

Any suggestions from any of you moggie lovers out there as to what I can do about curbing or eliminating the problem?

Someone has already suggested rat poison!

[Jai Dee]

Hahahaa....

Too true!

And I'm glad for a response... I thought I'd killed off the thread....

Maybe the subject belongs somewhere else?

But I am serious... any suggestions?

[lampard10]

I'll start with my mate Sunnee,

So will I as that's my wifes name apart from her, we have two rotweillers,a cocker spaniel,a golden retriever & two heinz 57. We also have two cats,one we rescued from a life of sin,and the other we flew from England.

[anna234cn]

Well Jai dee, you certainly don't live up to your name, do you?

The simple solution is to buy a squirt gun, fill it with a bit of vinegar and water and shoot them when they come into your yard. You could also get fox scent (or some other such thing--try the zoo, maybe they'll sell you some lion pee or something) and spread that around the perimeter of your yard. Check out this websiteCoyote scent

Suggest to your neighbor that he needs to have his cats sterilized as well (or if you are really desperate, kidnap them and have it done). This often solves spraying problems.

so dogs, cats, birds, fishes.......

[penzman]

Wife loves cats and we have an average of three.I say average because they don't seem to have a very longspan here and the number fluctuates as kittens are born and then squashed by the local idots in pickups.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Soi dogs also get their share of cats. I witnessed the neighbour's cat being torn apart a few weeks ago. I did manage to get the dog running but couldn't save the poor cat.

[udon]

Does anyone know of a pet rescue centre in LoS similar to the RSPCA?

I might start a parrot rescue org if nothing is available and I can find a remote location...... with a breezeand a phone line

Thanks for the suggestion sbk.

I'll give it a try.

Sriracha Zoo is just up the road a few klicks... if there's any tigers left I might be able to get something from them.

Cheers,

Jai not-so Dee

[pianoman]

Udon,

Yes, I think that I still want to buy another Cockatoo... I have only owned one, and had her for almost ten years prior to moving to Thailand... she is now happily residing with my daughter and her husband in the States...

But I will admit that the linked site did make me think a bit more, and will make me be twice as careful when choosing the where and from whom to purchase the new bird... Thanks for the link, info and oppinoins..

What will you do with the bird if the screaming drives you and/or your neighbours to despair?

Have you thought it through?

[RamdomChances]

I've just got 2 dogs at the moment, they are great , lab crosses I'd love an Irish wolf hound or two if anyone knows if you can get them here, oh and I've got about 100 cows

[udon]

Thai Ridgeback..... the national dog of Thailand........ huh?

I kid you not, can anyone confirm this?
