Larry Chamberlain's Articles in Pets and Animals

  • The Courage of Disabled Pets
    What happens if your well-trained, and usually well-behaved, family dog forgets himself, runs into the road, gets hit by a car and loses a leg? Or, your mild mannered cat is involved in a fight with the local bullying Tom and loses an eye?
    Does this mean that the quality of life for your pet will be so low that euthanasia would be kindness?
  • Why Would Someone be Cruel to Their Pet?
    All too frequently we read of sickening cases of cruelty to pets in local and national newspapers.

You invite her onto your lap. Gently you begin to stroke her and your cat signals her appreciation with an audible purr.

    One hand holding your book the other hand continuing to pet your mouser, you again get lost in your novel. All is well in the world with you and with your cat.

  • How long will my cat live?
