I found my kitten when she was about 5 or 6 weeks old, it's been a little over 2 weeks and I'm beginng to worry about her upbringing in a single cat home. She follows me around and cries when I leave, and while I am very flattered that she has become so attatched to me I'm afraid she's going to grow up with an aversion to other cats. I have 3 dogs and they've done very well adjusting to the new fluffy addition to our home. Little Evey is sequesterd from them most of the time, I'm afraid of letting her go down the stairs on her own, as she's so young and the wood floors are brand new and very slippery. I'm an 18 year old college student and I live with my parents. Evey is a sweet little kitten with tons of energy. I'm always willing to play with her, but sometimes she does wear me out. I was thinking that adopting another cat for her to interact with might be best for her, but I'm not sure how to present the idea to my parents (mainly my mom) or what age the other cat should be.

I met a couple of very viscious alsatians on Sunday and their owners seemed just as viscious and actually quite psychopathic. I actually ran an hid with my Lab. Why would people choose to own animals like that?

Tried a million things. Any suggestions? Used millions of different shampoos, cortisone shots, benadryl, and very little works. Now he's on prednisone because he had a horrible flair up yesturday and scratched his whole chest raw. I can't really change foods because he just started having to eat prescription food for bladder stones. Corisone shots seem to help for 2-3 weeks. Allergy testing is too expensive, and may not even help. He is up most of the night scratching...I rarely take him outside.

I've heard that baby shampoo can be a great and cheap alternative to dog shampoo...is this true?

I don't want to give him dry or itchy skin to save a few bucks?

I have just bought 2 new male guppies and before I added them to my tank I had a plec and just one male guppy.
Now I have put them in - the old one is really agressive and chasing the poor new ones. Is this simply down to a terrotorial guppy?

Ive seen a few videos around the internet of dogs either with a raw hyde chew, a bowl of food, or whatever and then out of the blue they start snarling and biting at their own feet. are these cases of dogs actually being mentaly ill or overprotective or somthing else?

There also a video here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1306880799, that shows a dog biting at his foot. it looks like hes trying to itch. one of the comments was "when a dog has an itch, its a reflex that one of their foots start going. hence when you rub their belly, their foot will go". is that true with this particular dog??

true or false
a fox with fleas will place a twig in its mouth and back slowly into a stream or river, the fleas fearing for their lives will hop up onto the stick as the fox`s head goes under , just as the head goes under the fox lets the twig go and the fleas on the stick , are cast afloat
thus riding himself of the said fleas,


what do you think true or false

My three year old Maine Coon has terrible breath. It makes you want to gag whenever he opens his mouth near you. The vet said this is caused by tartar build up and to give him tartar control cat treats. Well the problem is we have bought nearly every brand of tartar control treat on the market (Friskees, Pounce, Whiskas, ect) and he will not eat them -- I can't even trick him into eating them by mixing them in with his food.

We even held him down and brushed his teeth but it didn't seem to help his breath. Does anyone know anything else we can try to fight his tartar?

Just because it isnt recongnized with the AKC doesnt mean they arent a breed. There are plenty of breeds that the AKC hasnt recognized because they are new or they havent been shown tons of interest here in the USA. & If people agree that the mini aussie is in fact a breed, why not the toy? I understand some people seem to think that you'd have to introduce smaller breeds with the mini to get a toy, but this isnt true for all toys. To me, that just shows irresponsible dog breeding. I guess my point is that no, I didn't "waste my money" on my toy aussie. Toy aussies do have an oraganization to be registered with, & are working hard to become part of the AKC. As far as for the people who think that I need to "get rid of" or "not even bother" breeding these wonderful little dogs, I'd say stop being ignorant & realize these dogs are a breed, and are not "mutts".

He never used to do that, now suddenly he can't leave them alone. I haven't changed his food or anything but I wonder if he's missing some mineral from his diet. Has anyone else had this problem?
