How do I keep the neighbors cats away from my wild birds that I feed? They are catching them, tearing them apart and leaving them lay about....this must stop....but how?
I spoke to the neighbors and they don't care, they say it is what cats do.....As much as I want to kill them, I can't....as that would be wrong in my opinion....so what can I do to make them not come back?

My cat has these small white rice like growths on the skin of his abdomen that are easily pulled out and don't bleed or seem to hurt him but grow back shortly after being pulled out. Does anybody know what these are?

My larger and older cat is Turtle, my smaller and younger one is Ducky. My Beta fish is Fishy (my husband named him, i named the cats. lol)


What's the best thing about your pet(s)? I love the fact that they love me. They follow me around the house and always sleep with me at night. They are the best companion...they love you and show it and they never yell at you. They do things that are annoying like get into the trash and fling poop out of the box, but that's it.

I would LOVE to have a large cat, like a domestic tiger! oooooh, how awsome would that be?

When I was a kid, every neighborhood had at least one beagle. Now I don't see these dogs anywhere anymore. Everyone has pitbulls. Why don't people love nice, friendly dogs anymore?

I always wondered why a litter of puppies have different colors of yarn around their neck? I see it in pictures all the time. Is it to tell what order they were born or what?

My mother in law had a diabetic dachund (sp?). My mixed breed has been acting really weird. She drinks a lot of water, needs out a lot, and has watery stools. She seems to have the same energy level, is not lethargic, but she is very picky about DOG food. In fact, she won't eat most of it. If I cook her chicken or beef with rice, she eats it and she doesn't seem to have as many movements, or drink nearly as much water. She has lost a lot of weight, but was overweight to begin with from table feeding and low exercise. She is not underweight but the drop has been pretty fast. No vet open on the weekend, and she seems content.

Don't worry, the baby wasn't in it; she's not born yet.

There's no door on her nursery so I can't close it. I filled the crib with a few boxes and bags so that if the cat were to jump in it, she would jump back out, but this morning she jumped in there, anyway. How can I keep her out of there? I can't keep an eye on her twenty four hours a day and I don't want her getting in there once the baby's here.

My puppy has parvo and we just noticed it. Unfortunaltly there are no 24 hour vets in our area and he is lathargic, won't eat, won't drink, and has diareaha. We are giving him pedialite and gatorade and he throws it all up, so I wanted to know how can I keep him alive until Monday morning until I can get him to the vet in the morning? Please help I do not want to lose my puppy he is only 3 months old and we love him so much and I am scared because it is not looking good. Please help!!! Thanks.

I gave my dog Frontline Plus but he is biting and scratching and I hate it! We have a big, woody back yard. I have found 1 or 2 fleas on him a week or so ago, none since. I went out and raked up all the leaves and debris so the yard is clean but he's still itching. Can I double up on Frontline? Is there anything I can put on the grass to kill bugs/fleas?

Second question: if the dog's nails are clicking on the hardwood and tile floors, are they too long? Should he not click click click as he walks around the house? I do cut them often but maybe not enough?

Thanks I really appreciate it.

So I had gotten two pet mice from a local Petco about a month and a half ago. The dark one was generally pretty scared of me, and the white the most curious little thing ever. Recently, the dark one has opened up to me and actaully jumps twords my hand if I put it in the tank. Well, my question... When I was hand feeding it a carrot slice from my salad mix my hand smelt like carrots after (Well, that's to be expected.)... And the mouse bit me. Whatever. Washed my hands. Waited a few hours... Played with her for a bit... She bit me again. And ever since then (About a week ago), every time I pick her up she bites me. What's up with that, and how do I make her stop? Also. The white one, within the past week, has become less friendly and less able to handle. Just in the sense that she doesn't come to my hand anymore, and tries to squirm away if held. Neither of them have been hurt by a human, to my knowledge. So, I don't understand the sudden attitude change. Help, anyone?

My cat drools. When he gets all lovey-dovey and is purring, he'll start to drool. It's like he gets all excited and starts to drool. It's funny.

He also will walk in between my legs legs when he's all excited so I trip on him.

....what things do ur cats do?

Mine ( have 2):

drool, trip you, chase their tails, greet me at the door, unlock the door(bolt lock), play with the water when i do dishes, sleeps ON me (he has to sleep on my chest), when i'm lying down he'll walk all over me and stop with his butt right in my face, drink the fish bowl water (but leaves the fish alone), watches tv, tried to bat things on the tv, studders when meowing at a moth or bug flying around.....

My dog started her heat on the tenth of october. I have also have a male dog. Both are not fixed. I have been keeping them separated doing shifts through out the day putting one in its crate and letting the other out of its crate. Can the female still get pregnant if the bleeding has stopped? I am trying to save up to get the male nutered but it will take a few months to get up the funds. I want to be responsible and not create puppies but I feel bad having to have them on shifts in and out of the crates. What sould I do?

wel then clean her well & put ointment on her sores & raw skin. She loses alot of hair at times too. We do give her benedryl occasionaly too & it does help some. We can not afford all the allergy tests. We do give her special dog food & special dog shampoo. When she gets bad like that, we do put a sweater on her & sometimes we have to put a malot on her. She is 12 pounds & 3 years old. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I feel so bad to see her this way. She is such an adorable little one. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thankyou!

If a dog consumes chocolate will it kill or harm him, like a chocolate bar or m&m's.
