Looking for Pet Cat Supplies?
Catopoly Game
If you’re a cat owner, no doubt you are always on the lookout for great pet cat supplies. Right?
I know it – If you’re anything like me, I’m constantly checking to see if I can’t find a great deal on pet food, cute clothes, games that involve my pets or treats!
What I did find for you cat lovers out there is the neatest cat furniture at Outdora.com in their pet cat supplies section.
Cat Bed from Outdora
Check out one of their adorable beds (left)…too cute – and you could hide some of their toys in the drawer below or treats…
What I didn’t expect to find there, though, were cat safety kits for first aid. Great idea…We often don’t think about how important our pet’s safety is or if you’re prepared for an emergency or disaster with your pet.
Also, something unique I found in their pet cat supplies that I have never seen before were cat memorials. Our pets are so very important to us, don’t you want to make a statement about remembering them? I know our pets are very important members of our family and we honor them with dignity and love…

Adopting a Pharaoh Hound: An Exotic Dog
August 28, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
If you’re looking for a more unusual common pet, then you’ll want to look for more “exotic” breeds of dogs, cats, birds or fish.
The Pharaoh Hound is a great example of an exotic breed of dog that is domesticated and a fabulous pet and part of the family.
Pharaoh Hound Puppies
Pharaoh Hound
History and origin: The Pharaoh Hound is an ancient breed of hound, going back to the Phoenician empire. They took these hounds with them when they set up residence at Malta and Gozo. They are medium sized and generally used for hunting by Egyptian nobility, they hunted everything from rabbits to gazelles.
Description: The Pharaoh Hound can weigh anywhere from 45-60 pounds and will stand about 21-25 inches in length. They have a beautiful coat, either red or tan that requires very little maintenance. Their eyes are amber and they are known to be very athletic and are able to move extremely gracefully.
About the breed: Documents show that the Pharaoh Hound is the oldest domesticated hound in recorded history. They were very important in Ancient Egypt and played a prominent role in the lives of kings and nobles. Their elegance, intelligence, and power made them very popular among different hounds. They are very affectionate, but cautious, they do not appreciate chaos of any kind around them. They have a high prey drive and you have to watch them around smaller animals because they will attack them. Therefore, they are terrible watch dogs. Pharaoh Hounds are site hounds and need to have Read more

How Much do Clownfish Cost?
August 21, 2009 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
One of my readers – “Buy clownfish” asked me the question:
How much does that book on clownfish cost? I would like to know more on that fish.
I wanted to address that so that others out there are aware too, not only of the book, but about how much clownfish cost to purchase for your own aquarium.
The book he’s talking about is from my previous post about Clownfish. The book costs $15.16 and is all about them.
Actually, clownfish can range from around $14.99 for extra small ones that are more common…On the left is an example of a small Sebae Clownfish that’s tankraised for this price.
…all the way up to more rare and larger varieties like the “semi-picasso” for around $110.00 per fish. To the right is an example of the semi-picasso that’s tankraised for this price.
* Note: You can click on any of the photos to purchase that fish!
That’s a pretty good range with various colors and patterned varieties in between those amounts. So, it’s really up to you which one you’re partial to purchasing for your special aquarium.
There are even black Read more

Brand New Species of Deep Sea Worms – The Green Bombers
August 21, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
Exotic Animal Newsflash:
Seven brand new species of deep ocean worms were discovered that actually cast green glowing body parts when they’re disturbed or attacked.
The team was led by Karen Osborn of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego.
Thought to be used as a defense mechanism to confuse predators, which are unknown as of yet, the appendages glow green when they’re cast by the worm, and they will actually continue to be “let go” as they’re more and more disturbed.
It’s hypothesized that Read more

Spirulina in Fish Food for Colored Fish
August 20, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
When you read the ingredients on the back of food packages, it’s often we all get “lost”…to say the least.
Well, multiply that by 10 when you’re talking about pet food…pets eat things we don’t…
So, how often do you actually look on the back of your turtle food container and question the ingredients…Not often, I suspect.
Same goes for gerbil food or bird food.
Well, I have information on one ingredient in some fish foods you might want to include in their diet.
If you have fish that aren’t white (and supposed to be white), then Spirulina is a great supplement in some fish foods that will enhance color.
For instance, if you have fancy goldfish, like we do, who are brightly colored oranges, browns, reds, apricot or yellow, feeding them food with Spirulina in it will make them Read more

Keeping a Horny Toad as a Pet in Dallas
August 16, 2009 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
Well, as we all know, TCU’s (Texas Christian University’s) mascot is the horny toad. Actually, it’s also called a horned lizard.
They are ridiculously adorable and are great, placid pets, that are even great with children.
The problem with the Texas horned lizard, native to Texas, is that their food supply is waning. Even as a lizard owner, it’s gotten tougher and tougher to find natural sources for their food.
What Do Horned Lizards Eat?
A typical horned lizard should eat between 20-100 harvester ants per day. This is necessary because harvester ants provide this horned lizard with the formic acid it needs to survive.
You’re thinking, “Well, just find some harvester ants outside and be done with it!”
Problem: Harvester ants have been displaced by the fire ant in Texas, especially Dallas. So, you need to be educated and knowledgeable when looking for harvester ant nests.
Also, you certainly don’t want to capture fire ants for 2 reasons:
1. Their bite can be very painful to a human and they can swarm you quickly.
2. Horny toads will Read more

Air Conditioning in Your Car is a Must When Transporting Pets
July 30, 2009 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
Seriously…even you don’t want to be in your car when it’s hot and you don’t have air conditioning…
…Do you?
Well, guess what…Neither does your pet! In fact, they have much more hair than we do – they REALLY don’t want to be that hot.
What’s worse is that you may endanger their lives. If it gets too hot for them, they could overheat from heat exhaustion.
You see, many animals don’t cool off like we do with sweat, like dogs and cats. They must pant.
Some animals like the heat, but if you leave them in intense heat for too long, you could literally “cook them alive”, like fish, reptiles, birds and small rodents like mice, rats or guinea pigs.
If it wasn’t bad enough that you were uncomfortable, don’t endanger your pets’ lives – Be sure your auto air conditioning is working properly before traveling or transporting your pets to and from any destination!
If your vehicle’s AC Compressor isn’t working, you will want to get it repaired.
Be sure to check out 1AirConditioning.com for more information and how you can get your AC repaired more inexpensively.
Your pets will thank you, and so will your family and friends when riding in the car with you!
As for animals, they can’t get away from the heat like you can by getting out of the car or opening the window. They’re confined by us.

Wow…I just watched a show on Animal Planet this week with Jeff Corwin where he showed us a decorator crab.
I had never heard of a Decorator Crab before this week.
What they do is grab materials from their surroundings to camouflage themselves.
So, they’ll attach seaweed, algae, plants, sponges, etc to the Read more

A Box Jellyfish for a Pet?
April 15, 2009 by Kimberly · 7 Comments
My hubby and I watched the movie Seven Pounds with Will Smith a few nights ago, which was fabulous, I might add!
In the movie, the main character has a box jellyfish as an exotic pet in a large cylindrical tank!
What an amazing creature, which just happens to have the most deadly venom in the animal kingdom!
In fact, there have been 5,568 human fatalities due to the box jellyfish recorded since 1954.
Extreme care and caution needs to be taken when caring for a pet of this danger level.
Also, you cannot store the jellyfish with any other creature in the tank, as they’ll paralyze it and eat it.
Although so high venomous, the sea turtle is immune to the sting of the jellyfish and is one of their food sources.
However, it is a fantastical Read more
