I lost the third one today. After a couple of months in my care, they stop eating, and die in two days after they shown weekness. This one I forced feeded. Also it's belly was swollen a day before it died and no, I gave him small amounts of food, just to keep it strong enough to fight whatever was wrong.

A "Jellico Cat" is a cat high-brow enough to have THREE names...like,
Woodrow Wilson-Tate (who I always called "Woody"), or
Jocelyn Brown-Wildenstein (whom I called "jojo".
but, they always had 3 names...always.

Bringing home a beautiful new dining room rug tomorrow. How can I keep my husband's cats (I'm a dog person, myself) from either sharpening their claws on it, urinating on it and/or pulling out the fringe? They've done all three before. The urination is infrequent, thank god; but this is an oriental with a white/cream background. One accident is too many. The claw sharpening goes on constantly. Hubby won't keep them properly clipped, and I'm allergic ... I'll sneeze the rest of the day if I do it. One of the pair (these cats are neutered 6 year old brothers) is a particular freak for the fringe.

Is there a product out there that won't harm the rug, cats or kids in the house, but will just keep the kitties the hell away from it?

Thanks!

I recently moved and started taking my two dogs to the nearest dog park. I noticed my female dog wasn't as outgoing as usual and decided to brush her to cheer her up. I found several small ticks and proceeded to remove them. Just before I moved in, the land lord had the house and yards sprayed for bugs. I've given both dogs baths, and though I haven't found any ticks on my male, they seem to keep appearing on my female. I don't know what to do to help her. I plan on taking her to the vet next week, but is there anything I can do to help her before then? I'm worried sick.

I am home most of the day and get free vet care. I would preferr to rescue one that needs a home instead of going and buying a baby. Please help me find one.

The shelters will be for goats. Even used materials would be fine as long as they are in good condition. Even used fencing materials like, cow panels, welded wire, corral lumber, gates, used shelters even and maybe even barb wire. Any info would be helpful.

Do you think that a pug is a good dog to have around kids. I am talking a lot of kids eight! Are they tempermental?

I seen a website called www.petakillsanimals.com. On the site, they have a news story from CNN and a local NC news channel that says two PETA employees went to a NC animal shelter, and took alot of animals promising the shelter workers that they were going to find the animals loving homes. Instead, they killed all of them and threw the dogs/cats into a dumpster. It is very shocking. It even has pictures of the inside of the van, the dogs/cats, and a quote from the manager of the grocery store, saying that he was finding animals in the trash for weeks. Also they have vet records that PETA killed over 90% of the animals they had at their headquarters, and only adopted out 235 animals there in 2005. I thought PETA was a no kill origation. If you donate to PETA like me you might want to see this, It it is making me think of never donateing to them again. I warn you, it is graphic!!!!

My cat who is under a year old is vomiting (not right now). He is a mostly inside cat, but he likes to go outside. He yells to go out and we didn't mind it so much because he stays close to the porch. The first time he vomited was about a week ago. We just thought he had gotten to hot outside (cause he had just come in... we made him come in). He did it once or twice after that, but not real often and only after eating, so we thought he was just eating too fast. Today he has been throwing up all day it seems like. He started this with his breakfast, then he got ahold of my daughters noodles, and three times since then (over a period of 12 hours). He hasn't got worms, and he acts like he is feeling fine. He crying loudly before he vomits. We live in a small town and vets here don't work on weekends. Also we are letting him out until we find out what is wrong, and he isn't happy about it.

Ok, so, I bought a gerbil about 2 months ago.
The lady at the pet store said that they where friendly.

the problem is, its been two months and he wont let me pick him up, he is scared of me for some reason...
Now, there is ALWAYS fresh food and chilled water in his cage, there is a little house like thing where he can go and make a little burrow in, a wheel to run on, and there is enough floor stuff so that he can burrow.. and every once in a while i give him a fresh piece of fruit or a treat... so, i give him everything he needs and im nice to him. why is he scared of me?

Also, i bought him a Silent wheel, except, he runs so fast that the whole thing vibrates, constantly hitting the bottom of the cage, making an extremely loud noise, any suggestions on fixing that?

thnx all

My cat got beaten up, possibly bitten he was missing for about 12hours which unusual so I went looking for him. When I found him he didn't come racing out, I had to get him. He sounds hurt and is walking very tenderly. I put him to bed and he wont eat. I checked him for puncture wounds very thoroughly and found none he's got pain in one back leg and one front because of pain in him shoulder blades. Its sunday and I live in the country our vet isn't open!! I want to know how to make him more comfortable???
