What should I do....

I have had my cat for 8 years. I think she is about 10 (she was a wild stray when I got her). She is spayed, has all her shots, etc.

She is getting incresingly difficult to deal with.

First of all, she has decided it is OK with her to jump up on my counters, desk, tables, etc. This has never been ok before. I swat her down, but she is right back up there seconds later, yeowling at the TOP OF HER KITTY LUNGS at me.

Second, she pees on things. Random things. It is getting HORRIBLE. She pees on top of my washing machine, and the pee drips down on my freshly cleaned clothes. BTW, her food and water bowls are up on top of the dryer, right next to where she pees. I thought cats didnt pee near where they eat or sleep?

I am getting ready to move in with my boyfriend, and am afraid to bring her in fear that she will bring along her newly formed bad habits! What do I do! She is too old for me to give away (damn it, she is MY kitty). But this has to stop!!!!

I'm working on training my dog to stay in his own yard. As long as he is supervised and not vicious, does he need to be on a leash outside with me, when we are just in my yard?

Don't they realize that this is a baby animal, with less intelligence than most people?
The dog's first language is 'whine-whine, growl, woof-woof' they have a whole new language to learn, and a whole new set of rules.

Even more puzzling is the people who think they will learn everything without any training.

How many betta's? How big of a tank? What type of decor?

I love hearing about the communities. They're so cool.

I have 5 girls in my 25gal in the basement, with 6 minnows of some sort (I forget) and theres lots of baby guppies in there as well because the holes in the divider are too big. In the other 25gals of the tank is a large guppie communitie meant for breeding.

I started the tank off with 1 of my girls who has been kept by herself in a 1.5gal all her life, and I left her there by herself first to make sure it was safe. After a few days of her being in there, I put my already-exsisting 3 community betta's in there. They became very territorial about it at first, chasing eachother around, but after 2 weeks of living together they very RARELY flare at eachother, and even then it's just to get the other one out of the way.

Then I bought a girl from the store and put her in there as well. She learned her place quickley and now gets along with everyone.

I just love it!!

Our large male german shepard likes to jump the fence everytime he goes out and when we are not looking. I am afraid he will jump out and get hit by a car. Any budget friendly solutions? Thanks!

Maggie (my Maine Coon) is 13 lbs. She is wonderful, but her fur is everywhere. My fiancee isn't so fond of the shedding. I've had her stomach shaved and it helped a little. He wants me to get "lion cut" for her - where she is all-shaved except her head and feet. Is there any other way to stop the shedding?? i've tried food additives, special food, and i brush her 2-3 times a week.

This morning I accidentally ran over my neighbor's cat. I honestly didn't know she was under my car...usually she runs out when the car starts up but not this morning. I heard the sickening thud and then looked around to find the poor thing having seizures before she died. I'm sick with guilt. I went and told my neighbor I found the cat had been hit by a car, I didn't have the guts to say I did it. The cat belonged to their young daughter who loved it so much. I was aftraid to say I did it because I just moved here recently and I don't want them to think I did it on purpose and I was afraid they might do something to my cat. Am I going to hell??

I do NOT want to spend money. I am not setting traps that i have to buy and then bringing this animal to a shelter. I do not havepets, I do not want pets. I do not want to hurt the cat. But this is the second one who thinks my deck is its home. I am afraid to go outside. What can I put outside to keep them away?

My fish tank temperature is slowly, but surely, increasing. Right now it's at about 84 for freshwater tropical fish (a betta). How do I decrease the temp, and fast?

My dog ran away this morning. He has a microchip and I called the company to locate him. Have you ever had this happen and how effective is the chip in helping to locate the animal?
Also, I called the county shelter and they said they are backed up due to the holiday so if I don't hear anything to come down and look for him. I don't want someone else to adopt my dog!
What should I do?? Does the chip work? The chip company is AVID.
