Pets - 26 June 2006

We just got our first cat and so far she's been just perfect. One thing that I've noticed, which I'm sure is true of most cats, is that she doesn't seem to respond at all to her name. I think part of this is because she's a cat but part of it may als be due to the fact that we've given her a new name (she's from the pound). Is there a trick to teaching her to respond when we call her name? Is there any hope?

He is 18 weeks old. He is always sneaking in the basement, I don't know what is so interesting down there. I don't think we have mice or anything. The other day I noticed on the one side of his face his wiskers were singed. Also his one eye was half shut and has a yellow discharge. Also on a couple spots on some of his paws looked rotted and scabbed over. I have never saw this before. Especially the paw thing. Otherwise he acts normal.Some people have said maybe he got burned but I don't think he did. What could be wrong with him, especially the paws?

I used to have a bunny but my mom told my aunt to give it away while my family was on vacation. So after that i bought another bunny but it was VERY stubborn so i chose to give it away. Then i bought 2 birds but since we were moving my mom didn't want the birds to stink up our new house. My mom thinks only little puppies are cute but wouldn't like to have one because of there poop and smell. (i personally think they smell good) So i did a TON of research and found out ways to get rid of icky dog smell and whish puppies make the least poop a day (and thankfully it was the dog i wanted most: a pomeranian! 1-3 litters a day) so i told my mom all of this and gave her a presentation but she thinks i won't be responsible. but to be honest if she gets me the puppy i'll be more responsible than ever. but she dosen't believe me. I'm 12 years old and i'm extremely smart, i always excercise, i'm very nice and responsible. PLEASE HELP I WANT A PUPPY SOOOOOOO BAD!!!

I have two cats. They always get dry cat food but 3 times a day I'll give them a little canned. They love that and after they eat it both of them will move their paw in a motion as if a dog was burrying it's bone. It's funny. Sometimes theyll totally push the plate away while doing it. But they keep making the motion as if theyre burrying it or like when they burry their junkies in the litter box. It's weird. They don't do it all the time but very often. They just brush the tile floor, all around the paper plate, but barely hitting it..

When I let my dog sleep with me, before she settles and lays down she scratches the bed (like she is digging in the dirt) for about a minute before she lays down. Does anybody know the reason why?

I would like to know how to train a horse so it does not spook at traffic, cars driving by, etc. I know how to do basic desensitization, but beyond that I am at a loss. There are many amish families in my area and they drive their horse and buggies down the highway; semi trucks do not even startle the horses, how is this possible? Please explain.

With the millions of dogs and cats that are euthanized every year due to over population, (yes, many of these are pure bred animals with papers) why do people still breed? And better yet why do people continue to buy from breeders when there are millions of pets that need homes? Has no one ever heard of petfinder.com?

My beagle has seperation anxiety and barks for two hours when I leave for work in the morning (according to my neighbor). Any recommendations for a home remedy (outside of muzzling him or taking him with me)?

I was told to try Rescue Remedy...anyone have any luck with that?
