Hi, I’m Christopher! Read my introduction to learn more about me and my silly Russian Blue cat, Olga. Dental issues are common in cats, but I was relieved when my vet said that Olga’s teeth were not covered in plaque and tarter.

Olga has not been under anesthesia since she was spayed, and I was worried that she would be put to sleep for a long time…

Pet rats are wonderful creatures, known for their intelligence and natural curiosity. These qualities make them not only attractive companions but also ideal candidates for training. At the Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital of Louisiana, we often witness the amazing abilities of these small pets. Their inquisitiveness drives them to explore and engage with their environment, a quality that makes training a stimulating and rewarding experience. Rats, by their very essence, are problem solvers. This ability, which aids their survival in the wild, can be used positively in a domestic setting. Training your pet rat isn’t just about teaching them…
Staff Arrest Report Cold Start – HotspotsTrout on Snot Fly”It’s a good day for a little drive I guess”, the sarcastic comment I got as I scraped the car in the dark on Friday morning.

In September of the same year, a powerful typhoon, Typhoon Faxai, struck southeastern Japan, causing extensive damage to the mainland. But the storm, with wind speeds approaching…
If there’s one aspect of cat behavior that’s totally misunderstood, it’s when your cat turns away from you. People mistake this as a sign of aloofness.
