I want to get a cat and in the past when I was young we never used to let them out, I now am wondering if this is cruel. The thing is there are a few dogs that just roam the streets around here because I assume the owners cannot be bothered to walk them. Would the cat be safe going out. There are a few cats in this street that go out and they seem ok.

I recently bought a Boggle hybrid dog from Petland. It is 1/2 Beagle, 1/2 Boston Terrier. I love it to death and want to get it a playmate. I have been playing with the pure bread Boston's and have considered buying one. My friends and co-workers say that the Boston Terriers are way too hyper, but are overall good dogs. Suggestions??? Coments??? Thanx!!!

My hubby just took our 8 wk old puppy to the vet for a checkup and found out he has roundworms. They gave us a creamy liquid to give him 4x - every 10 days. Is it possible for us to catch worms from him? He lives inside with us in our apartment, and sleeps with us every night. He usually goes potty on puppy pads inside but sometimes goes outside...we can't always make it outside because we are on the 3rd floor of an apartment. I feel sick to my stomach thinking about it. Did I do something wrong to allow him to have worms? Or did he have them from the start or what? I feel so bad.... Cuz the vet said that the next poop will have tons of worms and not to freak out...but how could I NOT freak out when I see a buttload (literally) of spaghetti coming out of my poor lil pup??
Plz help!!

What does it mean when your dog enjoys holding your arm in its mouth gently and licks you with its tongue underneath your arm as it holds it?

I am having problems with my horse, she will not move when i want her to do and not go places where i tell her to go. I have a whip but that doesnt boher her too much. My cousin told me to get a pair of spurs and use them lightly on the horse to teach her that im in control. Do you agree or am i not whipping her hard enough cause i dont hit her hard at all.

We are looking to adopt another pet rock to keep Peter company. I have located these two options. Which one do you think would make a better companion for Peter?
Thank you all for your help.

My friend also adopted a small kitten from the same Petsmart I got mine from this past Friday...not sure if they are from the same litter or not. Her kitter is beginning to vomit and have mild diareah and is passing a tiny amount of blood...she cannot take him to vet until Tuesday...please tell me if this is something mild or fatal.

I just adopted my 8 1/2 weeks old kitty from Petsmart on Friday and as of yesterday she has developed a mild sneeze. She doesn't do it all the time, just every couple of hours. When she sneezes I haven't noticed any fluids or anything just small sneezes. I don't know if she is sick or just allergic to something in my apartment. What should I do...don't know if this sounds serious or not.

She's super tiny, only weighing 2.2 lbs. The rock was about the size of a quarter. I can't imagine how she'd even get it down. The thing is, that I thought I saw a rock where she was sniffing around. I grabbed her right away to take it out of her mouth, but it wasn't there, or anywhere on the ground. Perhaps I imagined the whole damn thing. It was dark.

Anyway, She's still eating, drinking--and everthing that goes with it. Should I worry? My veterinarian office is closed on Mondays, and I have her on a plan there, so I'd hate to take her to ER care if not absolutely necessary. Any advice?

I have a 6month old lab/ chow mix. He was playing with my 8 year old and bit her under the face and drew blood. Should he be put to sleep? He has never bitten anyone before.

does your laptop (after certain period of time, a year or so..) clog up with your pets hairy making your computer shut down on itself whenever you make it work too hard, like for example, when i work on heavy software in 3d modelling and autocad, my laptop seems to shut down making me loose all of my work. this happened exactly a year ago, i took it to have it checked and they founds piles of my rabbit's hair everywhere. i got cleaned and it began to work fine. a year has passed and just recently its starting to do the same again....so my question is...

do you get the same problem? does it also happen to you every year? what can be done to prevent this? my rabbit never gets even close to it, so i cant even imagine who the fur gets in, how does it go in your case?
