I have a cat who likes to roll around in the bathtub after someone takes a shower! Is this normal for a cat? or is she just crazy???

A very good friend of mine has a cat that is about 11 years old now, he thinks. This cat started getting her fur in severe big knots almost a year ago. This was right around the time he started using clumping kitty litter. She has also lost a lot weight since then. Then shortly after that she began missing the litter box while urinating. Now she pees in other places besides the litter box.
Anyone know what is wrong? My friend thinks it is the clumping litter. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
My friend does not think that she needs a vet. He barely afford medical for himself. Person who gives the most help gets 10 points.

my dog might get put up for sale or something because he's mostly been inside of our house for like 5 years now my parents want him outside. and we got new grass in our backyard and he's destroying it. so we are going to put him in a kennel in the back of our yard but he wont stop barking or yelping. and my parents gave him a collor that makes them stop barking, but that isnt working. what should I do? I dont want my dog to go away.

Dear Barking Mad,
Recently I have moved into a home with a good friend of mine whom has a small dog named Buddy. My roommate is obsessed with Buddy and she fulfills his every want and if Buddy does something that is incorrect she doesn't punish him in any way. I also own a small dog, Wilbur, Buddy and Wilbur are the best of friends, but Buddy has decided that the entire house belongs to him and has begun marking it with his own scent. Within the past two weeks he has marked my clothing, my bed, my roommates clothing, our couches, an indoor tree, my roommates golf bag, my laptop in its bag, my roommate laptop in its bag, the two rugs, all of the boxes that I used to move, and hopefully we will find any other items that have been marked soon! Adding to the constant marking of entire house, Buddy feels that the trash is also his as every time we leave our home he knocks over the trash can scattering all of the garbage across the house, he also hides trash in our blankets, under the couch and even in our beds. Buddy also constantly barks if anyone new comes into the house and then he begins to pee on everything again marking his territory. Buddy’s actions are killing my love life being that my boyfriend lives in Pocatello Idaho which is four hours away from Boise which is where we reside. Buddy will never have a chance to get to know him well enough to not bark at him all night. On top of killing my love life we have one of the cutest houses on the entire block, but we can never host a party or have guests without also renting a carpet cleaner along with some ear plugs. I have been an avid watcher of your show and I have seen you work magic with other pets like Buddy. Can you help us? We are in the United States and I understand that you are mainly in the UK, but we desperately need your help.
Ear and noses plugged in Idaho,
Erica Slayton

My neighbors dogs are about 20 ft from my bedroom window. Many nights the dogs bark and keep me awake. The pin which they are in is between MY privacy fence and their house. We have asked them numerous times to do something. Once they moved them to the other side of their trailer but they moved them back shortly. We have threatened to call the cops but they would not do anything even if we did (we already checked). What should we do? Some of them are muts and some are pit bulls.

He digs when in his kennel, or when he is tied. The dog is three years old.

He's a Malti-Poo (Maltese and Poodle mix), he's 8 months old and he use to bark excessively and now, he barely barks. He whimpers a little bit and it seems like he's trying to bark but very little comes out, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I recently visited a pet store in Stephenville Texas to purchase mealworms for my sugar gliders. I noticed they had an adult glider for sale. She is being very poorly cared for, in a tiny cage, housed in the same room with birds. She was being fed peanuts and trailmix for a bag.

My first question is if it is even legal to sell sugar gliders in pet store in Texas. I know that some state ban the sale of these animals in stores, but I'm not sure about Texas. If it's not legal, to whom do I report this.

If it is legal, is there a way to report the mistreatment of this animal?
