can someone tell me why my cat pees everywhere?and how can i make hi stop doing it?all 5s (link)
it sounds like your cat is spraying..he is matured so now he is marking his territory..this means you should get him fixed or else he will continue to do this...getting him fixed will also prevent him from running away..because he wont feal the urge to go find a female cat. i know..this all happened to my cat..it ended up getting run over..trust me..please get your cat fixed..its the best for everyone!
you can call different vets and see how much they charge for the procedure...i think it is around $100 but it is soo worth it if you love your cat
hope i helped! please rate ~hersheylover~


This isn't exactly pets, but it's the closest one.

In my neighborhood, a stray dog keeps wandering around. It's eating grass and the fur around the joints is gone. I feel really bad for the dog, but my mom won't let me take him in. Everytime I go inside to get a number for an animal shelter, he runs away. I need an idea on what to do. (link)
i recommend putting some food and water out for him..cat food will work..or even table scraps.
if he sticks around your neighborhood..call your animal control people..they can come and catch him and take him to the pound--i know that sounds mean, but it betters his chances of getting a home. another idea is to tell people around you about him..and make flyers. maybe someone will want him.

My cat has a hard bump on the very end of her tail. My mom said it was okay but I'm not sure. She's had it since she was a baby. It's like an extra lump of bone. Could it be bad? Should I ask her vet about it?
thanks (link)
i have had cats for several years...but i am NOT an expert...has your cat been to the vet before? if she has then im sure the vet would have noticed something. otherwise, it could be a vertebrae out of place..(which i dont think is harmful since its at the end of the tail) or it could be and enlarged vertebrae, or piece of cartilage. does your cat seen to be in pain about it? if not...and it hasnt caused any problems before, i would listen to your mom and not worry about it. but if you would really like some help with your problem, just give your vet a call, im sure he/she can give you the information you need. thanx! hope i helped!plz rate!...hersheylover...


I have had a cat for 6 years and my sister recently got a new puppy, which is 7 months old. My sister lives in an apartment right above me and is always bringing the puppy down to play with us. The puppy is very active and loves to play and is extremely nice. However, my cat just seems to hate her...my cat puffs up immediately and hisses and scratches the dog continuously and this happens everytime they see eachother. The dog does not fight back and tries to get into play-mode, yet my cat is actually trying to fight. Any suggestions? (link)
i know what you mean, i have 2 cats and a dog who is very playful while my cats are just plain angry. they act this way because they are scared. even though the dog may be playing, to the cat it seems as though he is trying to attack. cats tend to get along with dogs if they are raised with them. otherwise here are a few suggestion to get them better aquainted: whenever the dog comes over, make sure that it is for short periods of time and that the cat has someway of escaping, ex. a shelf or a chair. make sure that the puppy has a leash so it cant chase it. let them be together for short periods of time everyday until it becomes routine. but make sure you are always there, if they are unsupervised bad things can happen. perhaps having a blanket or something with the dogs scent on it for the cat to smell will help. if the cat continues to act the way it does, consider asking your sister not to bring the puppy over anymore. if she is upset tell her that it is for the safety of her own puppy and for everyone else. because sometimes animals just aren't meant to be mixed. hope i helped...plz rate...hersheylover....


My husband wants to get our kids a dog for Christmas. I think we would all really enjoy a dog, but I know that I will be the one who does most of the work. Is there a type of dog that is less work to take care of? (link)
i know exactly what you are going through, for my big family most of the responsiblity of the pet fell on the shoulders of my mom. that is until we found our dog Dana. what i recomend is to get an outside dog, about middle size. probably like a golden retriever or a lab. they are both very gentle dogs. we have a lab mix, and all we need to do is make sure that her waterer is full. (a 5 gallon one that you can get at wal-mart for like $5) and that she has food in her dish. it is easy to take care of our dog since we have a big yard she has plenty of room to run around, that is what most dogs need.
all dogs will need lots of love, and if you think that your kids will get bored with it, don't get one. on the other hand they are great companions as well. if you want an inside dog, i recomend something very small that probably isnt a big barker. but either way, get your pet tags, and try to get it microchipped as well, it helps so much if your pet runs away. I hoped i helped, i love animals so much. ask me if you have any further questions...hersheylover...

I got my rabbit about 6 months ago. It's not trained and i dont kno how. I tried giving it treats when she does tricks but SHE NEVER DOES ANY TRICKS! How do i train her to sit, lay down, and all the basic things? (link)
I have owned many rabbits, and several of my friends have their own rabbitries. Rabbits do not respond to basic commands like that, dogs may, but rabbits don't. Also, do not give rabbits too many treats, it can interfear with digestion, if you do give treats, make it only carrots or apples, lettuce or cabbage has no nutritional value. If you need better answers, try buying the book "Your Rabbit, A Kid's Guide to Raising and Showing" you can buy it used from Amazon.com for about $3. If you want expert advice, I have an email address for a big rabbitry owner in North Dakota, I email her often with questions, and she helps so much. Her name is Sarah, and you can email her at

Hey,
my parents said that i could finally get a pet. they want something that is quiet and doesn't stink. i wanted something that i could take on walks. is there any kind of animal like it out there? it also has to stay outside. will rate good please help. -cheyenne (link)
well, i would recomened a rabbit. they are quiet, can stay outside if you have a rabbit hutch. (and a fenced in yard away from dogs), they also can be trained to walk on a leash at a very early age. they are also very clean animals. be sure to get them declawed, because they can scratch. talk to the people at your pet store. im sure you can find one you like. hope i helped...hersheylover


hey my cat's evil what should i do? (link)
well consider why it is acting the way it is. is it a new cat? if it is maybe it was abused in its former home. there also could be a health factor involved. maybe it is in pain, and that is why it is acting strangely. i reccomened taking it to the vet. Also, whenever one of my cats is bad, it means he wants attention. Hope i helped... hersheylover
