I have two shelter adopted cats. Ginger is dark brown and Jasmine is black. They follow me around like puppies and love each other and me. You have to look at their personalities, not color. Although, I think their colors are purrfect!

drberticus says "If someone had spent ONE SECOND on the Iditarod site, they would have read..." and Ms. Lisa Remorenko should retract and apologize...sled dogs LOVE to participate".
First of all I have spent more than ONE SECOND on several sites and learned a couple of things - there are documented cases of dog abuse and deaths; most mushers keep 90-200 dogs who are tethered to 4 ft chains and unless picked for a team, that is their life existence. Of course they would LOVE to participate! I can also give you a quote, from Dr. Paula Kislak, DVM "...other than social interaction (dogs are pack animals and would chose to live in a social grouping) they're very clean animals, which is why we as humans are able to house-break them, as we take advantage of their natural fastidious tendencies to not want to soil the area that they live in. So, when tethered to 4 foot chains their area becomes completely soiled with fecal contamination and urine, stench and ammonia. The dogs are forced to live in this mess, completely contrary to their nature, day after day." I definitely do not think that Ms. Remorenko owes anyone an apology, and I thank you for spurring me to do the research that further supports the tenor of her column.

I agree with the author that laws re: keeping wild animals as pets need to be tougher. There should be a total ban in the U.S., not just in 20 states. That should put an end to the trade. I don't even want to think about how these "babies" are captured and transported. And what happens to their mothers? To whom can I write, besides the Independent, to let them know how I feel?

Good grief! You people need to get a life! Your comments are lengthier than the original article. Also, you might try proof reading your comments before clicking "post comment"!

I don't think I'm a crazy cat lady, but I love my two cats. They have great personalities and are so entertaining that my husband and I will play with them and sometimes watch them instead of the boob tube! I disagree with Holly about HSUS and PETA. I don't like when PETA gets too radical, but think they are both great organizations that enlighten us all about some of the awful animal abuse that goes on that we wouldn't otherwise hear about. Of course they have to plead for money to compete with all the other humane organizations out there that also need $ to continue the great work they all do.

Great article! Especially with all the natural disasters that are happening all too frequently of late. Enjoyed this pet column the last few weeks. Keep them coming. Cute picture of cat.

Kratatoa - "Pet of the Week"! What a stupid statement! Jonathon Safran Foer also said "...don't eat animals with significant mental capacities. That would include the pig...and would exclude mentally impaired humans." That would make YOU a good choice for our Thanksgiving dinner table!
