My cat is very angry, I think...
Posted Friday January 1 2010, 8:20 pm
So, we have two cats; a kitten and a 5 year old. We also have a puppy. The 5 year old, who we got the same time as the kitten, in September of 2009, is not a very happy cat. He makes a lot of loud noises, doesn't get along with the other animals, and poops on the floor. He gets along with me just fine! I'm wondering if he's sick, because he 'screams' at absolutely nothing; however my parents have the belief that cats don't get sick (ever).
Is there anything I can do to make him more comfortable in his new home, to help him calm down? My mom says we might have to give him back, and I really don't want to.

Fighting hammies
Posted Wednesday December 23 2009, 3:37 pm
Well the title says all. My two hamsters are fighting. Alot. It saddens me to the death to see the marks they put on one another. They have been together for life. At birth,the pet store, and at their new home at my house. Some conclusions came to my mind, but I really want to know some other possibilities from different people. Thanks!

Posted Saturday December 12 2009, 1:29 pm
my cat had to go to the pet hospital for something, and during the exam the doctor said that she had gingivitis. the pet hospital visit alone was $400, and i cannot afford to treat my cats gingivitis.
my question is, is there anything i can do to help her myself? could i start brushing her teeth? i cant change the food she eats but anything else? i read online that if it gets too bad it can cause huge problems like organ failure.
thanks!

Crate Training my 6 month old puppy
Posted Wednesday December 9 2009, 10:49 pm
I just got a 6 week old german shepard, dalmation, and shar-pei mix female puppy. I have always crate trained my dogs so I dont have to worry bout them going to the bathroom in the house while I'm gone. My 7 month old male does just fine in his crate but the female is having some problems. everytime I put her in the crate for bedtime or to leave the house she cries. She doesn't stop crying the whole time she is in there. It's hard for me to go to sleep when she is crying and it bothers my husband. what can I do to make it easier for her to understand that her crate is her home? Someone please help me so I can get some sleep..

Pregnant cat?
Posted Monday November 23 2009, 11:16 pm
My cat Allie got out of the house for 5 days. Allie is an indoor cat and she is not fixed. Recently i've been noticing that she has been gaining a little bit of weight (or i might not look at her well enough every time i see her), my sister and I try to touch her stomach to see if its hard, and she starts hissing at us. finally we got ahold of her and touched her stomach, and it felt a little hard. this was about 3 weeks ago maybe more. but no more then 5 weeks ago. could my cat be pregnant?
if she is..
how long does it take for a cat to have kittens?
what happens if she delivers the kittens and no one is home?
anything else i would need to know?

why is my cat suddenly affectionate?
Posted Sunday November 15 2009, 3:25 pm
I had two cats, Toby & jack. jack was taken to my moms house for a month now to get fixed and everything... a little after he left, toby has been really affectionate; i dont know if its because he needs me to be like his Jack, because they loved each other.. if not mistaken, they were lovers.. hahah, but why is it that my cat who was never this affectionate before suddenly is? he never even liked being picked up and now he can sleep in my arms..

small kitten
Posted Sunday October 25 2009, 10:41 pm
I recently found a small kitten that i imagine to be about 4 or 5 weeks old. The mother abandoned it and I brought it home about a week ago. At first I fed it goat's milk, as I am in an area where the kitty formula was not available. So I fed it goat's milk and a mixture of goat's milk and hard food (mushed up) for the first few days, and now I feed her a mixture for a formula I found online (goats milk, egg whites, a touch of oil) as well as wet kitten food. I have been told that by this team she should be willing or at least trying to eat on her own, but I have to practically force feed her with a bottle (she does swallow it on her own though). Also, she sleeps all the time, she doesn't get up and walk around like she did at the beginning...

my dog bit me
Posted Tuesday October 20 2009, 11:39 pm
My dog bit me..well, not so much a bite as a sharp snapping at me. I went to pick him up tonight to bring him upstairs for bed, and he growled (which he always does because he was already half-asleep), but then he totally freaked out and yapped at scratched and bit my ear. And he snapped pretty hard that it drew blood.
My mom didn't notice the blood though, though she checked my ear she just looked at the back.
It just freaked me out a little because my sweet little dog flipped out. Both my parents came in and yelled at him and I had screamed when he bit me so now he won't come near me. =\
My question is this: Should I be worried about the bite? It just drew a little blood. And also, if I do get ...

Chewing on door frams!
Posted Monday October 19 2009, 11:58 pm
My puppy, Glow, will chew on door frames while we are out of the house. We have tried putting a 1x1 over the door frame to deter her, putting hot spices like cyan pepper and tabasco sause on the door, spanking her on the bum and nose, taking her by the head and talking to her (she had this done while she was really little and it made her listen), and of course telling her no or bad in a loud, stern, mean voice. So far nothing has stopped her from either scratching or chewing the door frames. It does not matter wether we leave her for 5 minutes or 5 hours, she still does it. She is almost a year and a half, and we are out of ideas to get her to stop this behavior, please help!
other things we have thought of but not tried yet:...

Feline Herpes Simplex
Posted Monday October 19 2009, 9:56 am
My husband and I have a 14 year old male domestic long hair at home. He is the love of our lives. He is very friendly to people but has no exposure to other animals. I adopted him at 6 months old. Our 14 year old has NEVER been sick except for bladder stones. The CD Cat food controls that fine. He is an indoor cat.
Last week, i went to my vets office for some cat food and came across a 4 month old female (we were originally told it was male) that looked EXACTLY like our male cat at that age with a terrific personality. We fell in love. When we met with the vet and the cat on saturday, we noticed that her eye was cloudy. Turns out that she and her sister, also up for adoption, had contracted feline herpes. The sister lost an e...

How do I persuade my parents to let me adopt a cat?

My friend has a Siberian kitty she needs to give away or she will have to give the kitty to a shelter that kills (all the no-kill shelters are full, we checked already). How can I persuade my mom to let me keep the kitty for two weeks until I can find a home for it, or let me adopt the cat?
Thanks!

What is the best small pet to own?
Posted Wednesday October 14 2009, 12:29 am
I want to have a pet. I'm not talking about cats or dogs though. I would like a small pet that can be kept in a cage. My parents are divorced and I spend one weekend a month with my dad and would want to take the pet with me.
I'd like a fairly intelligent pet. Something that isn't too smelly would be nice. I have heard things about Chinchillas being cute but I have read plenty of times that they are very fragile. I don't want a fragile pet. Cute isn't REALLY important though.
I can do a few hours of maintenance a day with the pet so if it needs walks or playtime that is just fine with me. A friendly animal would be nice...something that could get used to being held sometimes.
My best frie...

cheap dog houses
Posted Saturday October 3 2009, 2:55 am
I am looking for a cheap dog house for my outside cats (2) this winter. It snows A LOT here and it's our first winter in this sort of climate so I'm worried they will be a little cold, especially since the wind is insane here. I thought about getting them a small to medium sized dog house and tying it down (again, the wind is crazy) somewhere near the house. I already have a heated water dish so I could sit that and their food near the dog house so they didn't have to go out too far if they didn't want to. Everybody says they're cats and they'll get along just fine but I'm still a little worried, you know? Anyway...I was wondering where a decent, cheap dog house was? Walmart? I thought about going to Tractor Supply but am not sure if...
