Today’s article is about a gorgeous cat named Seville, who one day started spraying on her owner and in other inappropriate places. For the last two years, since she had been a kitten, she had never given her folks a moment’s trouble … but recently things had taken a turn for the worse.

My parrot has been getting more and more aggressive towards humans so much so, I can’t even touch her anymore because she tries to bite me and quite honestly I am scared… Continue Reading

Recently I had a spate of aggression and hyperactivity cases - not only involving dogs but also cats and a parrot too. It’s funny how specific behaviour seems to go in runs. Maybe I should check the calendar which might just hold the answer. After all, the moon does influence the tides, and the tides influence sea life, there is no question about that, but scientists have also discovered oysters for example, even if taken many miles away from their ocean homes, reacted to specific phases of the moon.
