Pets - 6 October 2006

there are 4 of them (3 girls and 1 boy) and they are about 3 weeks old. the SPCA brought them in as strays who were found in a drain hole or something like that. I really want to take on the task of caring for them as a foster parent. but, my one problem is that this is my first foster and I'm hestitant to bring them home because I'm not real sure how my current cat will react to them. my 2 yr. old spayed female has never been around kittens that young before. how would she react. I'm going to ask the SPCA about what they think before I get them all. but before hand, what do you think? the SPCA wants me to come get them this up coming weekend if I really want to foster them. oh, one last question, since this is my first foster, I'm afraid that I'll get to attached to the kittens and not want to give them back to the SPCA. has anybody had this problem before. I have the time and the money to do this and I know all about taking care of these little ones!! Thanks!

While driving down a lonely highway on June 26th,I seen a little ball of fur sitting about one inch off the highway.No houses in sight.I figure someone dropped her off.She came running to me as I got out of the car.I scooped her up and brought her home with me.I made sure to look for any houses in the area and I also looked for other kittens or even her mama.I do believe in my heart that she was sitting just waiting for me.
She seems very healthy and I have taken her in for all her shots. I do believe that she is a pure bred siamese. The only problem that I am having with her is....she torments my 13 yr old dog and she also attacks my ankles and bites the hec out of my hands and forearms.She sure does gets the crazies any time of day or night.She just goes wild as wild can be.She has enough toys to keep her busy.
Please tell me that she will settle down very soon.

This is a serious question. My husband and I fight non-stop and I want a divorce, but when I bring it up he thows a fit. We have three "kids" and hesays if I leave I can't take them. THe problem is our 3 kids are 2 Siamese cats and a Bengal kitten. will a judge hear a custody battle ovewr them if I do leave or do I have to stay with him just to keep my babies? Mew is just in my name since I had him when we got married, but Gemini and Takarra is in both of our names, even though I had to pay for them.

Every single night my kitten- 5 months- wakes us up by doing laps around the bed- on us. He has to stick his nose on ours, bite your hands if they happen to be out of the covers, attack anything that moves beneathe the covers and just goes crazy. We have 3 others that have never done that. What is his deal? It is driving us nuts. We thought about closing our door but then the other cats couldn't get in or out and Bean- the "culprit" would probably scratch at the door. Honestly, we can't sleep- at all. This lasts for about 45 mintues and then he passes out. For the love of all that is holy- please help!

This is an ongoing debate between my husband and myself.

We rent out house from his father who is not the biggest fan of cats (a trait my husband inherited).

We made a bargain, if he let me have an inside/outside cat. He would be allowed to get himself a motorcycle. (Strange exchange, but he wants a MC just as bad as I want a cat.)

He's afraid of the cat getting on his precious car and stratching it, etc. Also, he doesn't like the idea of fur getting everywhere (such as the couch, etc.) I'm not the greatest housekeeper, but I would really try to keep the fur cleaned up.

Also, there is the issue of litter. I would train the cat to go outside, but I also know there are litter box houses for cats.

PLEASE HELP!!!

My pup has dug several huge holes in my garden and tore up all the flower beds, is there any way to stop them doing this or is it just from boredom?

Hello... After my 2 oldest daughters go off to school my youngest daughter (age 2) sits at the table with her cup of orange juice with a straw in it. She sits there while I get ready in the bathroom. I can hear her the whole time. For several days in a row she would scream and when I'd come around the corner I would see our cat playing with Alaina's straw on the kitchen floor. This has happened many days in a row. I decided to hide and watch this morning. Well, I witnessed the cat get up on the table and go straight for the straw. She batted at it until she got it out of the cup and took it to the floor. Alaina screamed until I made her laugh about it. It is adorable! But, I want her to stop. I don't want her on the table! Our cat doesn't do this while others are around... Only Alaina. It's like Scruffy is teasing Alaina. Any ideas?

His eye does not look hurt. He closes it for the majority of the day. He is having troubles eating. (He misses the crickets.) He also seems much clumsier lately.

I have a siamese-mix female kitten. Her blue eyes continuously shake back and forth. Anyone know why they do that?

I wonder if a cat is brave enough to fight dog that even is as big as herself.

These are roosters with overall body color white. The neck and head area are buff color and they have a mottled dark brown across their backs. The combs are very large and stand upright. Were fillers from a hatchery.

Out of all of the Baroque or Iberian horses, which breed do you choose?

[ The Breeds: ]

[ Andalusian ]
[ Friesian ]
[ Lipizzaner ]
[ Lusitano ]
[ Paso Fino ]
[ Peruvian Paso ]


I have an Andalusian / Lipizzaner cross named Federico. His lines include about 5 National Andalusian Champions of Spain, And the lines that trace back to some of the six origional Lipizzaner stallions. He is the greatest horse ever. We are currently doing Dressage, Jumping, & Trick Training. He is by far the smartest horse I have ever worked with. I am a horse trainer ( I use natural horsemanship methods, including Parelli. ) and have worked with MANY horses.

my Mum had them, one of them all of a sudden became very quiet. When I picked them up the next day, he (Pinchy) was very silent, he just kept himself really low with his feathers fluffed up. He is shaking a little bit and has not whistled to us for 2 and a bit days now. I have taken him to the Vet this afternoon, but I am worried about whether or not he will be alright...Has anyone else had this problem before?
