My husband and I have a four year old female cat who has been our spoiled princess for a while now- almost three weeks ago we got two male kittens- we introduced them slowly- we kept the kittens in their own room for a while first letting them and our other cat smell eachother under the door and through a pet carrier- we slowly let the kittens come into the rest of the apartment- they still stay in their own room at night and when we are not home- we even got Feliway spray and plug-ins but our cat is still scared of the kittens- she either runs away or hisses at them if they get too close to her- at night time our cat has started to meow at the front door (she is not an outdoor cat and never leaves our apartment)- our kittens try to play with our cat sometimes but she is too afraid- we don't know what else to do- we want to keep our kittens but we don't want our cat to be miserable- will she ever get along with them? What else should we do? (we also give our cat extra attention)

Does anybody else out there think it's wrong to put down or put to sleep animals? Most the time I hear about animals being put down becuase the human/s are suffering becuase the animal has something wrong with it.For all the human know the animal might acutually value its life and want to keep fighting for it's life. Sick animal, mal-tempered animal or bad attitude animals are the main dumb reasons I've heard for killing an animal.
Do ya'll think it's wrong or right to kill animal becuase some of us suffer at the struggle of the animal?And why?Cant we just ship thees animal off to jungles or something and let let them continue their life fending for themselves.Please dont say they cant fend for themselves becuase the've been "demesticated" by humans. Not true,my cats bring home small animal the've killed all the time.They still know how to act wild. They animals arnt demesticated,they've just had to get use to humans. But they very much still know how to be wild animals:-)

She says that they're mean, they have sharp teeth, they're ugly, and they smell. I don't think that she minds the ugly part, and I've been trying to tell her that they don't bite any more than dogs or cats. *sigh*

I feed him everyday, food like romaine lettuce, carrots, peas, greenbeans, corn, and i try to feed him bannanas, and strawberries, but he usually dosent eat them. Also, i have powder and pellet supplements. I have a UV light, and a day time and nighttime light for him to bask in. I dont have a hot rock, just a big one i found outside. I take him outside during summer(on his harness), he swims and walks around. He lets me hold him, but he seems to be really scared sometimes. I have been trying to get him used to being held by people, but it dosent seem to be working. I dont know the exact size of this tank but it is 3feet(length), 1 foot(width), and 1foot 2 inches (height). Also, he sleeps a lot, it's 10am now and he's laying down sleeping. I feel like he's not happy and i want to make his life better. So PLEASE HELP!!! (and does anyone know how to tell the sex of an iguana?)

Is there another, not agressive, spider that might be better suited for a 'begginer'?

I have heard that giving raw hide to your dog is dangerous. Is this true? I give my dog one every week.

The vet said its because of stress and gave me eye drops and tablets but that did nothing so I went back again and got stronger tablets but still no good. My cat only comes into contact with his brother and he is fine. There is only one vet in our town. Otherwise my cat is happy but he squints alot. any ideas of whats going on?

Every night I lock my cats (I have 4 right now;Ive' had as many as 8) in the garage, and every morning I feed them,make sure they have water, and after I see their done eating I let them out. But I seem to have this one cat that started to always whine in the morning. I give him food and he eats his fill, I give him water, he drinks till he's content, and I let him out in the morning and he goes out still whining about something. I cant figure out what's wrong with him or what he wants. I also notice that he always runs up the street to the house on the oppisite end. As far as I've noticed the people at that other house avoid the cat and presumedly dont do anything to or for the cat.
Somone please tell me what I'm missing and what the cat keeps whining or complaning about?

the snake was a pale yellow with darker yellow rings. it had a small head and was about 2 ft -2 1/2 ft long. it did not have any red or black on it. i was walking across my cattle guard & it stuck it's head up & of course i couldn't move fast enough to get off the cattle guard. i then started banging on the cattle guard to try to get him out from under there. then the snake took off & i watched him leave and got a very good look at it. it was a very skinny and long. it did not seem aggressive or mean, just very scary!!

We are dogsitting for my brother who is on holiday. Skally(the dog) has a habit of chewing her front paws like we bite out nails!! She doesnt break the skin though, and it seriously looks like she is trying to bite her nails! A visit to the vet was inconclusive; sometimes this can be a symptom of anal irritation(!), but she has had the all clear regarding that. What could be the cause of it??Its very strange, and she does it mostly at night, and its quite loud as well!
