My 5 month old cat constantly scratches the floor, walls, and furniture. I tell him to stop but he won't. He often seems to be very wound up. What could I do to make him stop?

I have recently been adopted by a cat but I don't know the first thing about them. I know dogs aren't supposed to be given chicken bones - but what about cats?

I am looking for an apartment, but no one will take her b/c they say she is a pit bull. I read somewhere that people get the American Staffordshire and English Staffordshire confused and they are not the same. Can anyone help me with this and possibly link me to some information so I can find a place for me and my dog? Thanks!

he was a very pretty dog that got thrown out of a car about 10 years ago. I was working with save a pet at the time, and was able to coaxe the poor frightened puppy to me, then the town put him in their pound, after I reported the incident, the next day I went and took him out, got him nuetered and all his shots, found a great home for him but he would not eat or do anything so I had to go get him again. When he saw me his tail wagged and when I got him home, you could actually see how happy he was, he never actually got a name other than White Dog. I just miss him and wanted to put that some where...thanks for listening

I have a white silkie rooster that bred with a black bantam. There are three babies. One has one of those almond shaped combs. Another chick has like an afro, while the other one just has a regular head. I checked one of the chicks, and he had 4 toes and one little short stubby toe. Are these silkies? Or are they bantams? Or is it possible to have a mix? Best answerer gets 10 pts!

It's me AGAIN LOL. My vet finally called me back and said for me to just sit and wait. He also assured me that even though today is her 55th day, that her pups could survive if she ends up having them today.

I just wiped my mini dach's rear with tissue, and her discharge is pee colored and slimy/stringy. She isn't producing any milk yet, so I'm wondering if the milk has to come in before she can go into labor??

My vet said to use a hot water bottle on her swollen vulva.Anyone ever heard of that before?

I just got done making her a bed with old sheets and towels inside a big sturdy box with the end open, and put her in it and laid down beside her, but she got out of it and went under my bed. How can I show her that I want her to have her pups in the bed I made for her? Or should I just let her have them wherever she chooses?

Thanks to All in advance!!

yeah, hi, my puppy is an staffordshire bull terrierx red healer.I live in Ausstralia.she seems to think the indoors is the toilet. We just lost our very much love Ridgeback, who was a very big part of our family to cancer, Lucy (the puppy) is great, but we can spend upto 20mins with her outside, but she will come in & do it indoors. But we do praise her when she does the right thing, she is otherwisea beautifull pup. I would really appreciate a serous answer as i have a bad spinal injury & it is hard on me to keep going in & out. Serious answers only please. Thanks heaps.

I live in California, I bought a dog from a breeder in Gulfport, Mississippi, from irresistibletinytreasures.com, the dog died 4 days after she arrived, the breeder said she would pay for shipping, she sent it COD, the breeder promised registration documents, and immunization documents, I never received them. I got her on 7/11/06 and she died on 7/15/06, I paid $3,300.00 for the tiny maltese puppy, I paid, $637.80 for vet bills, and she died of a porto caval shunt. How can people get away with unethical business practices like this? People need to know about the awful woman that did this to me.

I know I have asked for some advice on how to get dog behave because my uncle dog is totally out of control and my uncle doesn't treat it well.

However the dog have been starting to find other way to avoid discplining (being ignored, put outside, or spray with water). For example I have been trying to train him to not jump on me, he would sit on his hidlegs while jump up a bit with his forelegs. He would also not fully sit when I ask him to. He also keep getting in my way and run away then come back. This caused me to fall down a couple time. Today morning I was rushing to get ready to go to college to finsih up some paperwork and the dog tried this again, and I don't want to deal with it, so I yelled at him once then push him away with foot. He still doesn't listend and keep get in my way and I end up trip and land flatly on my knee cap that left me limping. So next time he tried it again, I slap him across the face as hard as I could. That's when he finally stop!

I really don't

My cat chases her tail when it starts to flap or sway even just a little bit. And not only when she does that, she makes these horrible screeching noises like she is furious with it. It has gotten so bad that she actually caught her tail with her paw which resulted in a 6inch tear along her tail and it’s not healing because she reopens a part of it everyday. Squirting water at her doesn't help. I've tried to pick her up when she does it but she bits and scratches me. I've tried to distract her from doing when she looks like she is going to start to chase it. I’ve been nice and kind to her when she starts to do it to maybe calm her down. I bought a sedative for her and she’s become immune to its effects. The interesting part is before her tear I’ve taken her into the vet and nothing is wrong with it. And after this tear I’ve talked to several vets and they have all been amazed. Do you think I should have the tail amputated?

This St. Benard is 3 yrs. old. I thought I was on good terms with him since he was a puppy. I petted him and he looked at me with foggy eyes and lunghed to bite me. I was lucky to get off with a bruse and broken skin. 2 Days later he bit my daughters hand and broke a bone. He came aFTER HER TO GET HER.
