My Mom's cat, Tiger, is lost to us. My brother let him out in the middle of the night + forgot about him!!! My mother is DEVASTATED!! Which I understand, having 3 cats myself, who are my very spoiled children! I plan on getting her a sympathy card and maybe sending her the link to Rainbowbridge, I hear it is really nice!
But what I am looking for, is something to do, in his memory. To show my mom that his goodness goes on...
Like a friend of mine, when my dad died, donated to the Diabetes Foundation, in my dad's Name + Honor.
I want to do that for Tigs, I just don't know what to do. I need help, so here I am. Any help? Suggestions? Anything?
THANKS!

If a tame rabbit moved into my house, would my two cats try to hurt it? The cats are, and always have been indoor cats, are both female, and only have back claws.

most of the recipes i've seen are too involved... has anyone a simple, do-able recipe for fresh meat or chicken food that i can give to two adult neutered males?

I'm thinking of ralph.

It has to go with the other names of my other cats, phoebe and murray.

he's grey/blue, fluffy short hair.

No cudlewuddle names, human type names if possible,and nothing crude, I have to introduce it to my parents.

The kitten just makes this awful meow noise all the time, day and night. We are wondering why he might do that and if there is any way to control it. He is adorable, but the noise is unbearable.

so i did it all wrong, got a new tank and stocked it too soon, ive been following all the rescue advice ive been given on previous requests, got a charcoal filter, been performing 1/4 water changes, did a gravel vac, cut right down on the feeding, but 2 of my fish died last week, and yesterday went away for the night and most of the rest were floating on the top dead, upon my return this morning.
where do i go from here??? i now know about the nitrogen cycle and that it wont kick in until after 3 weeks, so do i just leave my tank (ive had it 2 weeks now) and continue doing !/4 changes and restock, slowly, in a couple of weeks time, or due to the deaths of my fish, must i strip everything down and start again....????

all serious advice is welcome...

have just got 7 week old pup and for last 2 nights she has cried & barked all night on & off. I know she's scared being on her own but she's too small to let out of one room.
It's quite hard to ignore as pretty loud, also we have neihbours with small kids who are probably not too happy at noise!!
Is there a quick way or do we just have to wait.
Thinking of getting cage for her as well.

I am afraid that he will come across a poisonous snake one of these days and lose the battle. He is a Sheba Enu.

My dog has long hair and I have it trimmed maybe twice or thrice a year. Lately he's been itching a lot as well.

I recently purchased two dragon eels, approximately 5 inches long each. The main question i have is how long will they be able to get along with my freshwater angelfish (3 in. tall for now)
also, my roomate has had a dragon eel in a 20 gallon freshwater tank along with a bala shark and a small school of scisortail rasboras (I think that's what they're called), and i've been looking around online and things that i read say that the dragon eel is a saltwater fish that prefers a cooler temp. I'm wondering, if this is true how is my roommate's eel still alive? Or is it true, what can YOU tell me about the dragon eel?

I have a 3 year old Golden Retriever. Every morning before we get up she wakes up and starts whining. She sleeps in a crate in the lounge and is fine for the rest of the night. It isnt because she needs to pee as when we take her out she is never desperate to go. We have tried ignoring her but as my wife and I both work we have to get up eventually, saying this though we did try a couple of times when we were off and she whined for over 3 hours!! If we go down and let her out she will just back back to sleep in the lounge. I know this is because she probably wants to be with us but we just need her to wait about 30 minutes later. We have tried putting a cover over the crate but it makes no difference and it isnt because something is waking her up. Any suggestions PLEASE!!!

With all the bad press in the papers recently, it has really got me down that people judge all Rottweilers on the only few bad ones.
