Are White Cats Deaf?

Friday, August 4, 2017
posted by Jim Murphy

whitecat2It’s a common belief that all white cats are born deaf and that blue eyed white cats are prone to blindness and deafness. Blue eyed white cats are no more prone to blindness than any other cat. They are more likely to be deaf. White cats make up about five percent of all cats. Of these, fever than half have one or two blue eyes. Most white cats with orange or green eyes have normal hearing. Up to 80% of all white cats are born deaf in at least one ear. If your cat falls in this category, don’t worry. A deaf cat can be a perfectly sweet and attractive companion. If he is deaf, don’t ever let him outdoors. Keep him safe indoors with all of his cat toys and lots of love from you.

Our Pets Suffer from Human Substance Abuse

Thursday, August 3, 2017

drunkAll kinds of substance abuse is very prevalent in our country. We all know how it destroys the lives of the abuse victim and all of the people around them including their pets. Our pets rely on us for love, companionship, exercise, and nutrition. I strongly believe that we have to be of sound mind to properly care for our pets.

Picture a hungry or thirsty dog sitting their waiting for his food or waiting to go for a walk and his owner is too inebriated to even realize that his best friend has needs that need to be fulfilled. So the dog sits there in silence suffering. I am more intolerant than most when it comes to substance abuse because I feel that the cause of it is the result of some very bad HUMAN choices.

I always aim to be in control and of sound mind to make competent decisions when in comes to my life and my pets. Our pets suffer in silence so if you need to seek help—-get rid of the substance abuse and get the help you need! It’s so much better to lead a clean life and be of full control of your emotions and decisions.dog-corner

Be of sound mind, make the RIGHT choices!

Remember, your pets count.

bloodhoundsSome dogs make great watch dogs. They will sound their alarm at the right time if he detects anything unusual. A good watch dog will bark if something out of the ordinary occurs in and around your house or apartment not at every car that passes.

Indicated below are breeds that don’t bark at things that they should be barking at.

 

  • Bloodhood
  • Newfoundland
  • Basset Hound
  • Vizsla
  • Norwegian Elkhound

There are many other breeds that are good watch dogs but these breeds are simply not the best at their job.This list is according to Benjamin and Lynette Hart who wrote a great book called The Perfect Puppy: How to Choose Your Dog by Its Behavior (1988). Unfortunately, the work is currently out of print.

Remember your pets count!

When you get to work today – choose the oldies that bring back the best memories of your life. Edgewater Gold Radio!  Listen from our website: The Edgewater Internet Radio Network!
