Pets - 10 September 2006

About 2 years ago someone abandoned a cat and she found her way into my backyard. I felt sorry for her and fed and watered her and she has been back there ever since. I already had a couple of pets in my home and really didn't want anymore. She is very sweet and talkative and endearing. I simply cannot leave her out there anymore nor do I want to chance calling animal control and having her put down so I've decided to bring her to a Vet and have her examined so as not to put my current pets in jeopardy and bring her in.

I would like you guys to help give her a unique name to reflect her poor misfortune of being abandoned and now finding a home.

I can think of ordinary names but want something unique and easy to say and for her to respond to. I've been calling her Cat but feel she deserves more then that.

Please help -- I no longer have a cat, but there is fresh cat urine in the carpet. I blotted up the urine as much as possible before I totally soaked (and I mean SOAKED) the area with a very expensive cat-urine odor eliminator (Nature's Miracle). Luckily under the floor is a crawl space, so no biggie soaking the area. I waited a day and then I soaked the area with white vinegar (my mom's suggestion). THAT smell just about killed all of us, so I soaked that up with towels, and now that the carpet is somewhat dry again, I can again smell the cat urine. HELP!

we just moved two cats from their home of over a year to their (our) new residence. they are slowly getting used to the strange new place, but there are so many sights and sounds that are making them jumpy.

any advice as to how to help them become better acclimated to their new surroundings is appreciated! thanks in advance...

I have one black labrador and golden retriever. They bathe at least thrice a week but they still smell really bad even after they've taken a bath. I have a chihuahua but he doesn't smell so I'm wondering why the other two do.

My backyard is real sandy, I was wondering if I could use it in my hermit crabs' cage? I don't think pesticides have ever been around it.

Our dachsund is always stealing candy or gum from my daughter and her friends. As much as I warn them, they still leave their purses laying around the floor and he scurries in them. Fortunately, they do remember not to have chocolate. Mostly, they carry gum around, they're teen-agers. How bad is it for our dog, all this gum chewing and swallowing?

I have a Bachelors of Science in Writing and am looking into other career venues. Animal right have always been something I've fought for in my writing, and I have always secretly dreamed of becoming a vet. Recently one of my friends was hired as a vet tech (she was an ART MAJOR!), without any training. I'm assuming a Vet is willing to train the right person on the job. Has anyone gone through this process vs. actual vet tech school? I'm interested in making the same move she did, but I sort of didn't believe it was possible.

1 hibernates outside every year, the other is new to me, can they hibernate side by side? If they go in the ground, can I safely cover them? Do you have any insulation ideas? I would put some dirt on them, then some hay or leaves, a wooden box goes on top to protect from the weather. Any good websites to help me? Thanks
