My cat has a habit of attacking my hair when it moves. She sees it moving and prepares to pounce and then bites my hair and bats her paws at it. It is so cute and funny. What is something your cat does that makes you laugh?

I have a pitbull puppy and i just adopted her 2 days ago i also have a pug
puppy and there around the same age shes about 5 months and hes about 7 month
she growled at him 3 times twise over food and once over a bone i quickly took
they food or bone away when she did this and scolded her but i want to know if
this is a bad match because they can be dog agressive and they have a high pray
drive being terriers and it scares me that at such a young age a dog would
already be haveing behaviour like this and it could turn out worse for my other
pup

I've had a possum living in my garage for some time now. I rarely see him/her, but the dry cat food was dissapearing too fast for one cat, things were knocked over a lot and one time, I saw a rat like tail jet out from under the steps. I have a bunch of boxes out there so I can't really see where it's been living.
Tonite, it came out while I was having a smoke on the back lawn and I saw the little (well actually bigger than my cat) sucker eye to eye as it sat on the trunk of my ivy. I shut the garage door, so maybe it won't be able to get back in and will go away...but I doubt it, because it's been well fed and comfy in my garage for near a year.
I don't want to kill it...I just want it out of my garage.
Any NON VIOLENT suggestions???

I am considering starting a pet care business, & would like to offer dog-walking service for people who work long hours & must leave their dogs at home. I live in central PA, & I am trying to find out if people in general like this service, & if so, what would be a fair rate to charge? High gas prices & I have to pay my bills, but what's fair?

does the uniform remind them of the dog catcher, the smell of the mail (maybe reminding them of newspapers[they seem to like to tear apart])...?....

Im sooo sad cause she's only 5 months old and im trying to tell myself it happend and it's not just a bad dream like I wish it was!! any ideas how to get the image of her running into that fence out of my head??? I screamed at the top of my lungs cause she was all bloody and cut up I wasn't able to move or catch my breath for 30 minutes and hyperventalating if thats how you spell it cause it was THE MOST horrifying moment of my LIFE!!!!:( poor baby she's in alot of pain but not too seriously hurt just gashed up and can hardly work from the soreness of the freak accident and she's in anafalactic shock!!!

My dog has been very very itchy for the past couple of weeks. About a week ago we put flea medicine on her, but it hasn't done anything to stop the scratching. Her skin appears normal and doesn't look dry or flaky or anything. She is mostly itchy on her head (ears and chin/mouth area) and on her paws. She scratches her ears so much they bleed. She doesn't have ear mites. Her ears seem fine. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with her? She's tearing herself up and we don't know what to do. If it is something we can fix ourselves, we would rather do that than take her to the vet and pay tons of money for something we could have done at home, but we will take her to the vet if necessary, of course. Any help is appreciated by both me and my itchy girl.

I check all my chemical balances every 5 days. Thankfully I have never once had a problem!! Ph is good, nitrates, ammonia, everything. All good. Temp ranges about 80 degrees. And fish are healthy... My male is always "busy" and has been for months. Im stumped because fish are old enough. I do have one male and four females. i know this ratio isnt the best, but i did it purposly because the male is very "busy" all day.

I got a new betta fish aquarium and it bubbles really badly at the top. It's not soap bubbles (keep that in mind) the oxygen doens't seem to be filtering throughout the aqarium. It doesn't seem to be hurting my fish. He is fine...but his food gets lost in the bubbles. I have to blow on the bubbles to make them go away so he can find his food. Does anyone know what is causing the bubbles or will my aquarium just balance itself out eventually?

I intend to get a cheap 2 gallon fish tank to hold some guppies over the winter and that is the reason for the question.

I expect to try and get the guppies out by the end of September and put them back in May.
