Pets - 4 September 2006

Hi. Each morning our cat gets up around 6:30 to 7:30 and sits at our bedroom door meowing. Sometimes we get up and feed him, but immediately after eating a bit, he is back at our door crying again. We were told by the vet that the way to stop this is to ignore it so the cat will not learn that he is rewarded for making noise at our door. We tried this for a while, even putting enough food in his bowl the night before so he'd still have some in the morning, but it didn't work. Are there any other ways to stop this? By the way, we have another cat, a female, that sleeps through the morning.

Thanks.

i have these red smooth bumps on my leg and they are really close together. they look like mosquito bites but i haven't seen any mosquitos all year. plus they aren't ever that close together. my dog has fleas. so do you think the bumps are flea or mosquito bites.

my friends dog has a dog she adopted the last owner gave it back she couldnt handle it
if you try to touch the dog it growls at you and might even attack you if you reppremend the dog it will attack you
i went to say hy and i touched it all of a sudden it jumped up and bit me on the leg this dog is severely traumatized how can this dog be trained to be loving if you cant even touch him?
this dog has major trust issues with humans
i told her to give it back but she doesnt have the heart to do that
im afraid that it might attack her although it has in the past and left a scar
is thr any suggestions you can give me in order to help this dog?

I have recently adopted 2 female guinea pigs. They came with a cage, feeding bowl, water bottle (that leaked and I replaced) and a sleeping house. It looks too small to me and I would really like to get them more room to run around and play. I also have inside dogs that are interested in them. I am sure they will not hurt them intentionally, but might let them out or injure them while trying to play, so I have to have a lid. Also, I bought treat and timothy hay for them plus a salt wheel. Is there anything else I need to provide for them?

Can you give me their activity levels, kindness toward strangers, kindness toward other pets, grooming, protection or watchdog levels, stuff like that.

Are Shelties good for apartments or small housing? How about town housing?

Where in the north east of england can I buy a dog, don't have much money so a rescue centre would be great if they will take a generous donation.

She seems to be a bit under the weather. Would it be best to wait 'til it's over? I'm afraid she could catch a cold. Sure would appreciate your thoughts and ideas. Thanks!

When ever I go to other cat owner's homes their cats come when they are called. When I call Brooklyn she just ignores me. I know she's not deaf since she comes running when she hears me rattle the treat bag!
