Q: my family just got a cat in december.
the cat was being so good,
but something changed i guess?
the cat sleeps on my bed at night,
and i think it was 3 nights i accidently closed my door so the cat couldnt get out.
the cat peed on my laundry and pooped on my carpet.
gross.. i know.
but now, last night i left the door open..
but she still pooped and peed on it.
my dad says if he catches her doing it again,
he'll get rid of her.
all i could think of doing is locking the cat out of my room at night.
but then.. what if she pees in my dads room?
then he'll really get rid of her.
how do i make this cat stop peeing and pooping everywhere?

If she's not spayed (Which you should get her spayed for her own health, even if she can't get out of the house), she could be marking. Spaying should fix that. Another possible reason is that she could have a urinary tract infection and/or an anal gland problem. So, definitely take her to the vet. UTIs in particular can turn deadly quickly by leading to kidney failure.

Spend as much time as you can with it. You said you only got one...and rats are very social creatures. They get depressed very easily if they're kept alone and you don't play with them. You might consider purchasing another (of the same sex!) if you know you won't be able to do that. Rats love sunflower seeds and COOKED rice. Make sure it's cooked, because if you give it raw rice and it drinks water...yeah.
I'm glad you decided to get a rat! They really are great pets and creatures, they're just a little misunderstood. ^_^

I think the problem is with your dad, not the dog! Your dad is probably being mean to the dog for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON! Try to explain that your dad that you don't like him treating the dog that way, and that you'd appreciate it if he'd stop. It's been proven that people who abuse animals go on to abusing people! It's VIOLENT behavior! If he's not abusing you or your mother yet, he might eventually end up doing it. If you talk to your dad and it keeps going on, I'd call the police. You may even need to call them now. His being violent to the dog is not good. What are you going to do if he ends up punching or kicking it so hard that he kills it? What if he does kill it and then ends up punching, kicking, or taking out his violence on you and your mom? That's food for thought.

Q: i have this dog who is two years old, and i love him sooo much. the problem is, he has gotten my other dog pregnant twice, and each tie we had a horrible time trying to give the puppies away. My parents are furious, and they want to castrate him. i just cant bear the though of him losing his gender! just in case any of you know, what happens when you castrate a dog? are there any side effects?

Er....you mean neutering, right? O_o It's actually more healthy for both dogs! You should consider getting your female dog spayed. When female animals go into heat, it can be very distressing for them. The only side effects though are that if he sprays he won't do as much anymore, and your female dog wont' get pregnant. It'll probably make you happier too, as they become more docile. So, I'd go ahead and get it done. Not only is it safe and healthy, but no more unwanted puppies! He doesn't reall lose his gender, just his ability to produce sperm.
