Pets - 30 June 2006

I'm moving in September into an apartment and taking him with me, he is now surrounded my 3 cats and 2 other dogs...he had a previous owner that seemed to be not the nicest person, but I am very nice to him and so is my family..he chews up things randomly, not a lot but mainly when he is home alone...maybe he gets nervous? Also he shakes a lot, but I think it might just be a chihuahua thing..tell me what you think!

I just got a new kitten and already have a 2 year old chihuahua, and they are not getting along well at all, They don't get into rough and tumble fights but everytime my dog gets near her she hisses and crunches up. He(dog) doesn't seem to care about her unless she swats at him then he charges her but they always back off from each other. It's kinda wierd too cause every now and again they get really close to each other and do nothing she(cat) has even let my dog right up to her face once.

Basically the question is how long should I wait to see if they start getting along.

I feed silkworms to lizards and I have been getting them from suppliers that buy the eggs from China. There has been some problems with viruses from there and I understand the eggs from Japan do not have any problems, but they are more expensive. Does anyone know if there is a supplier of Japanese silkworm eggs in the US?

Thanks for all of the answers everyone. They truly helped. I tried to put a towel near momma kitty (Patches) but she didn't want it, so I moved the babies to the cat bed. When I tried to put the cat bed under our bed, it wouldn't fit, so I put it under my vanity (it's one of the old ones that has a place for a chair). I then took a towel and put it in front of the opening so it is darker and she feels more comfortable. Patches doesn't seem to mind it at all. This way, we can walk by without her getting too nervous that we are going to do something. We do check on her a few times during the day and pet her, which she doesn't seem to mind now.

As for our other cat, Calli, I am keeping her outside during the day so I can keep the bedroom door open all day and Patches can come out of the room. At night, I keep the bedroom door closed and Calli stays out of our room.

Now I am wondering how long I should wait to introduce Calli to the babies? Should I wait about a week?

Is there really a spray that will keep cats off of things? Cause we are temporarily in an apartment that we aren't suppose to have pets and my 6 month old kitten won't stay out of the window, off my table (I hate that), or off my counter tops (I really hate that!) Any suggestions other than repetative "NOs" and the squirt bottle? Sometimes I just want to beat him even though I know it isn't his fault he is curious! He is a cat!! Meow!!

There is a heat wave now where I live and my cat is very hot and pants and he is lying down like dead. Should I wet him a little with a spray or a little sponge (I would never bathe him!) to cool down?

My cat Little One has a serious plastic fetish. He'll chew on any type of plastic he can find. He's not eating it (yes, I'm certain), but I find chewed up plastic all around the house. I usually don't bother him when he does this (I find it kind of amusing), but I'd like to know why some cats are so facinated by this.

My 1 1/2 year old dog has never had fleas, and has been on Advantage (once a month, like clockwork) since he was ten weeks old. A few months ago he spent two weeks at my boyfriend's parents house, and (I'm assuming because they do not regularly treat thier four house dogs) developed a bad case of fleas. How can this happen, or is prescription flea medication just not that effective?

Our vet switched him to Frontline for the past two months, saying that the fleas may have become immune to the Advantage, but that has not worked. I will never take him of the flea meds, but I still need some other treatment. We also spend about a half each day, flea combing him, and have had our apartment treated by a pest control company. Please help. My dog is miserable.
