Our calico cat had kittens about four weeks ago. She had six (three boys, three girls). Four of them are tail-less (momma cat has a tail?) two have tails. Okay..All except one are very healthy. She is the runt of the litter and seems to be crippled. She can't walk, or hold her head up by herself for very long. We have to feed her with a bottle and use milk supplement. She isn't growing at all. Oh! and she is one of the tail-less ones. Any help would be great!!

I've seen my birds do that a few times-is this normal? Will it harm them?

I have a 6 month maltese **** tzu puppie. He loves to jump on my couch. As a puppy he did this. So I know this is my fault. I want this behaviour to stop. Its not the sitting quietly on the couch that bothers me its that he retrieves his toys and then comes running jumping on the couch. How can I stop this behaviour. Poor little thing its not his fault but I have to stop it before it gets any further.

We are thinking about getting a puppy soon, and we're not sure what breed we should get. We know we want a mix, though.

We want a lap dog. Not small enough to fit into a purse or anything, but small enough to sit up on the couch with us or sleep between us in bed.

We have three children, the youngest being two, so it has to be good with kids. We also don't want a worker dog. We just want a lay-around-and-relax type of dog who can snuggle, but still knows how to play.

We had a golden retriever, and she was the best dog you could ask for, but she had so many health issues and allergies that we could barely keep up with her. She died from cancer last November, and we don't want to go through that again. However, our black lab desperately needs a playmate!

Basically, we want a generally healthy, low-maintenance, kid-friendly pooch who is loveable and snuggly!

Ok, I'm wanting to know why dogs noses are wet and dry. I always thought that when they were wet, they were healthy and if they were dry, they were sick...But, the other day I read in a book that that has nothing to do with it, a dogs nose is only wet becuase he/she licks it...but today I asked my vet that and he told me that both of those are wrong, that dogs have 2 sweat glands in their bodies, ones in their paw pads and ones in their noses. He told me that when a dog is hot, his nose with sweat, and when a dog is cool and comfortable, his nose is dry. Anyone know what the real answer is????

The guy who helps us with the horses ( a true horse whisperer) told me that a horse is ready for the bit and hackamore when it licks its lips, which is a sign of submission. Can this be true of cats, too. My queen licks her lips every time she catches my eyes. Can this be the same in animals so different?

It looked a lot like a small silver and grey fox. The lady who was walking it...called it an Alaskan "Kwi Key". I have no idea how the name is actually spelled, so that's just phonetic. I'm looking for information on the breed.

THIS DOG HAS BITTEN BEFORE! The owner herself said so. But she will not take responsibility for the dog, or my hospital bills. Animal Control said she is criminally neglegent, but no one knows how to get her current address. She is all involved in 'dog rescue' and activities, but neglects to see that a known biter should not be at public places. I see her name ALL OVER the internet in local dog charity groups, but a ghost IRL. I have her age, full name, auto plate (DMV does not have current info) and home & cell #'s, as well as email address. I have left her one message per week on her voicemail for over 6 months. She will not answer or return phone calls. Several local counties have no record of her otherwise. The sheriff has come up with nothing. How can I attempt to recoup my $800 in out of pocket hospital expenses!!!

I have made no other contact except via the one # she gave me. All the other info I have on her is thru me playing detective online thru the breed & charities.

I used to have some, but unfortunately, most would die shortly after I acquired them. There was one, however, whom I named Lola, that I had for nearly 10 years! She got bigger and bigger, until I was struggling to find seashells that were big enough for her. I used to let her out of her aquarium to wander around the living room. She'd spend hours scuttling around under the furniture. I tried giving her companions, but she was so much bigger than they were that she bullied them and killed them unless I kept them separated. Poor Theodore lost two limbs, which Lola ate! She loved bananas and lettuce. I am not sure why she died several years ago, but one day I found her listless and pale. Within hours, she was dead. :o( I miss that goofy hermit crab.

So, tell me your hermit crab stories. :o)
