Pets - 24 July 2006

I have two kittens that are 5 months old. A boy and a girl, best friends.

Since about a month ago they have been sitting at the doors waiting for a chance to get outside. I have been scared to let them out considering that they might get hit by a car or run off.

But I finally gave in and let them out yesterday. And they loved it, I mean loved it!!! They stayed in the yard played the whole day. I even left for about an hour and when I came back still there on the front porch playing.

But my concern is at night, leaving them out.
Is that going to be ok?
Where would they sleep at?
Will they get into trouble?
Or will they run off?

Please help me with my concerns, they didn't want to come back into the house so I am considering letting them stay out more and possibly at night, considering this seems like that is what they are wanting. And the main concern of mine is there age, 5 months.

Thank you.

There was a bee (like a wasp) buzzing in the sliding glass door, and Rylee (4 months old) caught it and ate it! chewed it up! i was like NO don't eat it! She is fine, obviously, but what happened? did the bee die when she chewed it or not sting her? silly question, i know... but... my pups are like my babies!

I only have room for info about one of the dogs. I'll do a second question about our other dog. The first dog is Kip, he is a German Sheperd mix a little over a year old. When we got him he did not seem to have an itching problem. It is not fleas or the flea treatment. We changed his food to Science Diet for Sensitive Skin. It does not contain corn or beef. It has Omega fatty acids in it. We tried using a shampoo for sensitive skin, with hydrocortizone in it.
The vet said he has a German Sheperd as well and that they have very sensitive skin. He said use a shampoo with out soap in it (what does that mean?) and instead of using the handheld sprayer in the shower to bathe him, fill the bathtub and let him soak in plain water for 10 minutes then masssage the problem areas(which is all over) Also, Even if I fill my bathtub all the way up, the water will barely come up past his legs. So we paid $50 bucks for the vet to tell us to soak him in water.... any thoughts?

Its one of the most abusive things people do in the summer. We never hear how many die each year because of this barbaric practice.

Ok, this experiment does not involve hurting the mouse in any way, my mom loves mice but i already have alot of pets here, this mouse will not be more than a scientific experiment.

(i cant tell you what it is, because someone might steal my briliant idea)

please help, my brain is being wasted away from being around too many stupid people, help me before its too late...

We found a cat in our bushes and we left the door open so she could leave if she wanted to go home and she left but then we found her in our bushes again. What should we do??

I really don't want to take the cat to the pound or whatever I don't want it to be put down and it is just a baby.

I want it to be safe.

Is it right to give it away if we can't find the owners??

Most of my questions are stupid and not really meant to be taken serious, but I'm serious about this one. I know that the two animals are closely related, so I'm pretty sure it's possible, I was just wondering the other day if it has ever been done.

I have 4 dogs and 2 cats in the house, and a friend who visits frequently (not because I invite him, he just stops in sometimes or he will call and say he's coming down and I say ok) when he comes of course the dogs are excited and smell him all over and rub on him to try to get him to pet them etc... He gets mad, tells them to lay down, quit sniffing him, get away from him etc.. Now my 1st instinct is to tell him that its my house (and theirs) so when he comes into MY home he has to put up with what is has to offer, on the other hand I wonder if I should be apologizing for their behavior which is actually very normal, they dont bite or jump or anything.

My darling cat loves to sit by the windows and whenever one is left open downstairs she darts right on out. She's the first cat I've had so I'm worried that if I leave an upstairs window open she'll wonder out and then think she can make it to the ground. Is this a possibilty or would she be smart enough to know better?
