Anyone know where I can purchase a very large Maine Coon? I would like a makrel tabby (black/tan) offspring. Anyone know a choice breeder to consider.

PS size is important in this case

My husband got me a 10week old female kitten about 2 weeks ago. We have kelp her in a spare bedroom since then. We let her out every day so my 5 yr. female cat can get use to her smell. My older cat, JoJo, doesn't like the kitten at all. The kitten was raised with cats so all she wants to do with JoJo is play. The kittn will chase her and JoJo will run away and hiss and growl at her. A friend of the family told me that i need to keep the kitten out all the time even when no one is home and at night, but I'm afraid that JoJo will hurt the kitten. I know it takes time for them to get along, but its difficult to keep an eye on them all the time.

I am interested in getting a dog for the family. I really want a Shepard since they seem very intellegent and friendly. What is best for an outside dog who is protective and great with children? Oh and where can I get the larger breed of Shepard or the true German-German Shepard breed? Only in Germany??

the last couple of times i've left her she's chewed the door frame. Literally eaten the wood and chewed it to bits! I always leave her fresh water, toys, her bed, and a ball filled with treats to keep her occupied. How do i stop her eating her way through the woodwork? And please don't suggest crate training, it's not an option.she's 10 months old.

My flatmate has a new 3 year old russian blue cat. It's a lovely cat and fine with her. However, it's terrified of me and can't get away fast enough when I'm near! I've tried to be kind and gentle with it but it hasn't worked. I'm never near other cats and I don't smell strange (I hope!) so what can I do?

ive heard alot of talk over the years that different colored cats make better or worse pets! like for say a calico is suppost to be a very mean cat, while an orange one is very loving & playful! Anyone really believe this or tell me your experiances with different colors of cats and thier behaviors/personalities

I have a two year old spayed female who suddenly has decided to spray. She does it in paticular places, like where another cat had her kittens and in my daughters room. It is driving me nuts and to be honest I just want to beat her, if she doesn't stop I will give her away. I know she is "marking" but what, short of locking her in the garage, can I do??

I have a 12 year old mare who for the past 3 years has started getting scabs in the hollows of her heel and around her pasterns. It seems to be in the start of spring and summer. I was told to wash them in hibiscrub and put sudocrem on. It seems to make them less red when I do this, but they just appear somewhere else.
Any ideas?

There's a cage (like new) for $25. It comes with two spiny mice. Is that a good deal? What are spiny mice? Are they bigger than fancy mice? Thanks for all of you who replied!

Up until three days ago we had five cats. Three nights ago two of them were killed. Night before last, another, dead. We determined that a Dog had attacked them.

So, last night I stayed up until about 3 am, sitting on the porch with my 12 guage shotgun waiting for the murderer to return. The murderer never showed. But during that time, my Golden and I sat there, silently.

It dawned on me that maybe he was the killer. Sure, he acts like he's all sweet and innocent, but maybe it's all a big scam to confuse? After all, this dog is smart. He gets really jealous when I pet the cats and up until they started getting murdered, I never really petted them. Something changed in me and I have started petting the cats, but now, there are only two left and I haven't even seen one of them today, so far.

It dawned on me that my beloved Shadow could be the killer. Have any of you ever caught your "so sweet" Golden killing animals out of jealousy?

My cat has his litter box in my bathroom, he has always been fine with it. All of a sudden he started going in to my daighters bathroom and just peeing on her rug, like hes supposed to. Then this morning im sitting in my room on my bed eating cereal and i dont know if something startled him or something but he jumped up on me and peed on me!! he just walked over right in front of me and peed! i couldn't believe it. He's gettting neutered in about 26 days, (and counting). He's a male cat and he's very timid. I am not sure if he was abused or what but hes scaredy cat to the fullest. If anyone could tell me why or what to do i would appreciate it greatly!!
