Pets - 24 September 2006

First of all, I have four cats (all of them brothers and sisters) and now that they're all grown up, they hate eachother and want to fight, scratch, hiss, and growl everytime they're near. Is there any way I can make them get along?

My second question, three of my cats are come-as-they-please and go in and out of the house when they want, the fourth cat is inside all the time and hates going outside. She is the only one that will use the litter box, the other three absolutely refuse and before you can catch them to throw them out, they will do their business anywhere and everywhere outside the litter box! I was told by a vet that they won't share a litter box because they don't like the scents of the other cats. But this is really pissing me off and I'm not about to set out different litter boxes around my house. Screw that! Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you!

We are going to dress our two dogs up for halloween for a pet costume contest, for a prize in... dog food! We need some good ideas. We have a pit bull and a weenie dog that we were going to dress up. We've already thought of some but were looking for more. Any ideas/themes would be appreciated. I'm not objected to making the costume instead of store bought. Thanks. :)

I've had a banded coral shrimp for about 3 months. He has always been very active. He moves around the entire tank, climbs the walls, jumps off the rocks, and dives for food when I feed him. I recently added a high wattage light, for coral, that has a night setting. Since I started using the low light at night, my shrimp hides under the rocks all day. He's always out in the morning, but instantly retreats when I turn the light on in my room, let alone the tank light. When I'm able to get a good look at him, he has brown furry stuff on his legs. He was never bothered by lights before. Is my light too bright? Is he sick? or is he naturally nocturnal and just never had a chance to show it since the lights were always on?

Does anybody think they can tell if my cockatiel is a female or male? My bird is 9 weeks old and makes high pitched chirp, squeaks, and weird chirps. The bird loves to sit on my sholder, pick up things and carry them around and drop them. Still a little bit nippy has a bright yellow crest, yellow tail feathers, has grey and yellow face but hasn't had its first molt yet. Has a light orange cheek patch loves to explore new places and get head scritches.. Is it too early to tell? What sighns will tell me if its a male or female?

This will be the first time I'll be taking care of a fish. I don't want a goldfish or a beta fish. I want something that's pretty but that's also $30 or under. Anyone know of any kind of a fish? I would prefer a saltwater kind, if possible.

My 8yr old blue heeler (Australian cattle dog) has been pooping in her sleep. It's not runny or anything. Just well-formed small turds. She's not having any problems during the day, and has normal bm's, but this just started.

she is anorexic, and has been for some time now. she appears to be otherwise pretty healthy, with the occasional couple of days that she gets constipated. i have to feed her supplements that i get online, with an eyedropper or a syringe that i slide ino her mouth. and she will eat lettuce and carrots if i slide them into her mouth. every other day or so i offer her bugs, but rarely does she eat them. she does much better with syringe feeding. she is 3 years old.
today i decided to make her a "smoothie". please tell me if she can drink/eat this. i cooked up some carrots, green beans, peas, corn, and broccoli. and i put it into a blender and added water, lettuce, apples, this supplement/apetite booster for reptiles called jumpstart, and a little bit of calcium powder. and i pureed it all together. can she eat all the things listed above??

I was wondering if anyone knew of any online bird supply stores that have a wide variety of products (for small birds as well as large birds)? I already know about Fosters & Smith. I wanted to know if anyone had good luck with a different place. Thanks in advance.

Does anyoneknow where I can find snakes near my home? I live in Shoreline Washington, which is just north of Seattle Washington, just south of the king/Snohomish county line, and along Puget Sound? Where should I look, and how should I place a pvc pipe or a board for a snake to choose to hide in it so I can come and find it? I want to see snakes near my home, but do not plan to keep them as pets, I already have two cats and I know wild snakes don't keep well as pets. I need as much information as possible. Thank you for your help.
