Pets - 30 August 2006

I heard somewhere that white cats are the most aggressive/skittish, followed by black cats and calicos. And that orange/tiger cats are the most docile and easy-going.
Is this true?? I have an orange cat and she is very good natured and laid back. But maybe that's just the way I raised her....

I have two cats a female and a male and I introduced them when the F was 4 months old and the M about 2 or 3 months old. I dont know if they will grow like brothers or if they will mate but I just wanted to know since I dont want my house to be filled with kittens a year later or earlier.

Is it fair to keep and train birds of prey - falcons, hawks etc. - for the purpose of hunting 'vermin' species such as rabbits, crows, gulls etc? Is it more or less humane than, say, shooting? trapping? because it in some way replicates nature by pitting predator against prey, something prey species have to put up with every day anyway

The babies are in a seperate tank (all from one birth) and after a week the ones that are a bit larger appear to start eating the smaller ones. Anybody else seen or heard of this? Do you continue to seperate the babies as they continue to grow?

I just got a new Shih-Tzu puppy yesterday and my teenage cat is acting a little funny. My puppy is 8 weeks old and very scared! When we first came home my cat really didn’t seem to notice the puppy but then he got the sniffing and his tale just go all puffy and stuck straight up in the air! We sat down with both animals and let them both look at each other (while holding both animals) my cat just looked and begin to hiss a little but in the same since he seemed kinda frighten by the puppy. I really don’t understand his behavior, I don’t know if he going to attack the little puppy or just keep his distance! I understand that I am bringing another animal into his territory but my puppy isn’t going anywhere! Will they get along eventually? Will my cat learn to love the puppy?
Is there anything I can do to make this process of introducing them to one another a little bit easier for them?

Right now she's 4 months old and 11 pounds. She looks mostly border collie but she's a rescue so we don't know what else is in her.

Don't worry they're no-kill here! But she caught 3 of 5, and the other two are getting smart... any suggestions on how to catch the others? We don't want to leave them alone... mom appears to be missing. They don't show interest in the toys we've offered... and Of course they love the food.... but they just wait for us to fall asleep ( I fell asleep on my porch) and then come right up next to us and snag the food. So to make it clear, Any suggestions on catching the last two?

My goldfish have started swimming with their top fins flattened down anyone know what this means, in fact they look a bit depressed. I'm up to date with the usual maintenance on the tank.

When we first rescued her, we assumed she was a garden variety Rottie-Shep X with the ubiquitous black+tan markings... However, after first few weeks - became abundantly clear she's hard wired to herd and chase, and since been identified as likely being a Kelpie X (Austr. cattle dogs, black+tan, larger than the Blue Heeler).

She's a good dog, very intelligent, responsive and eager to please - HOWEVER.. her instincts often get the better of her .. this can be problematic with the abundance of squirrels and racoons outside the windows - but even more so during off leash play, where she wants to herd other dogs, which is often intimidating for some.. she also has a tendancy to escalate play rough housing by nipping and biting other dogs.. I can ususally see this behaviour coming, but want to control it.

-details: we're her third owners (at least), she was abused, very intelligent, I am clerly alpha athough she does try to compete .. w.my wife..thanks in advance for any tips or thoughts
