My wife and I have a 6 month old Tabby cat, and she is adoreable, but she can be very aggressive. Sometimes she'll just bite and scratch us really hard and when we raise our voices or try to let her know that its wrong to bite and scratch, she gets even more angry! Is this just a stage, or do time-outs and punishments help.
Also, she is going to get fixed sometime this month, so I don't know if that will change anything or not. Thanks for the help!

my cichlid has babies in her mouth and she has been holding them for about 16-19 days. I can see the babies in her mouth as she cannot close it entirely. Just wondering when I should expect her to spit them out. They are already moving around in her mouth. I have heard that they hold them for about 16-20 days.

My folks and I currently own a 1 year old male fawn colored Pug, we're planning on getting a female beagle puppy some time. The litter is due sometime in Mid October and will be availible sometime in december. The breeder is in a place called Jerome, Idaho and has bred dogs for 30 years(he breeds cattle too).

He breeds Beagles and Labradoodles(Labrador/poodle mix), although next year we plan to breed the female with our pug. Although a few people online have told me not to buy the beagle or not to breed her with our pug since lots of pets are put to sleep each year and to adopt a dog from the shelter.

The only problem is most shelter dogs have major health and mental problems. We had beagle mix that passed away in 2004 and she was afraid of other people, possibly because she was abused before we adopted her from a beagle rescue.

But what do you think about breeding our pug and future beagle?

No jokes or wise cracks please.

I've been taking care of this dog since last year. They only come to town on weekends and have an apartment 2 hrs from here where my brother-in-law goes to school. They'll be back permanently on December, but I just can't wait to get rid of the dog. I feel so sorry for the dog but I'm sick and tired of him.

I have a fish that looks just like a convict fish but it is silver and turns a silver blue color when it gets bigger. They are aggressive fish and are very teritorial. I believe it is called a tilapa something but I can't remember the rest.

I just got a English Bulldog puppy and I don't know how to raise it ? I have gone to quite a lot of websites about it and each one says something different? The puppy is only 3 months old, weights 20 lbs. and lives inside of the house.

Is it better to adopt and love a stray cat, give it food and water, and a loving home inside, or take it to a shelter where they are having to put them to sleep on a regular basis. Too many cats and kittens are constantly being put to sleep because people cannot afford food, vaccinations and the testing that goes along with shots. And that's after the cost of neutering. And add in vet care when they become sick. So should they be given the chance of a decent life or killed?

*SECRET DIARY OF A CAT
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from shredding on the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant and cough it up on the carpeting.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair... must try this on their bed (again).

DAY 762 - Slept all day so that I could annoy my captors with sleep depriving, incessant pleas for food at ungodly hours of the night.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in
attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was ...Hmmm. Not working according to plan...

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant. He has mastered their frightful tongue (something akin to mole speak) and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured.

But I can wait; it is only a matter of time....

I have 4 other cats and the 3 year old was the youngest. We took in a stray male kitten about 3 weeks ago. I have done the whole separating thing and was slowly bringing him into the house to interact with the others. My 3 year old, who is sweet and timid usually, has turned into this snarling, little beast when she sees him and attacks him. He is now afraid to leave the upstairs area where I was isolating him and she keeps finding his hiding spots and becomes really aggressive. I have squirted her with a spray bottle and continually scolded her for her behavior. I just don't know what to do. I really want to keep this little guy and I know it takes time but after 3 weeks, she can't get over it. Please, serious answers only. (Don't say, "Shoot it", etc.) Thanks.

ok. my bird got out of his cage yesterday and today we found him. he was in our tree and we could not get him down. i know this might sound bad but i promise it is not. my brother had to shoot BELOW him to get him to move. he accidetily hit him. when we got him, it was just his wing that was hit. we looked at it and the only thing holding on the wing is the bone and we can see it. should we just take off the wing and put antibiotic ointment on it to heal? please let me know.
