Pets - 4 November 2006

I was at work today (04nov06) and found a stray female long-haired siamese kitten. now, i have had cats before, but it was many years ago that they were kittens and i was too young to learn about any processes. I have a dog, so the kitten is in isolation in my bedroom to prevent the kitten from spreading any diseases/fleas/etc she might have. i will be making a vet appointment come monday morning, but i would like some advice on what to do. i went out and bought her a new litter box and food and water dish (a "kitten starter kit" lol). i also gave her a warm water bath, but i don't have any shampoo. one of my coworkers will be giving me some shampoo come monday and i will be thoroughly shampooing her after work. I don't know how old she is or if she has been trained. She has her baby teeth, is very fluffy, and extremely affectionate. Any advice would be helpful, especially in getting my dog and the new arrival used to each other. thanks.

Last week I brought home a stray cat. She is the sweetest most loving cat I have ever seen. I took her to my grandma's tonight and there is another cat there. She got really pissy when she saw this male cat. Her whole personality changed and when I picked her up to take her home she bit my hand in between my thumb and forefinger. She drew a little bit of blood. I washed it right away. Should I worry about this? No, I have not taken her to the vet yet. We just brought her home. She does not show any signs of having rabies and I had my last tetnus shot 9 years ago. Thank you for any help you can give me.

There is a problem. there were rats around a house and they put out those packets with rat poison and the rats somehow dies somewhere and the smell is really strond inside the house. They took down two walls in the house where the smell was coming from but nothing there. Any suggestions as to what might bring the smell down or how to totally get rid of it?

I had a dog and I loved him so much that when I first saw him I had to have him.... He had white and black fluffy hair. I had to work for $120 to buy him. My mom and dad told me if I wanted him I had to pay for him and accept the resonsibilities. So I took him home and 1 year and 5 mounths later he ran off and never came back. I loved him so much I wish I could find him or even just see him again.\
Has this ever happened to you?

How many of you would decide to stop breeding if I told you this:
27 Million unwanted pets are turned into shelters each year
12,500 are euthanized each hour
Over 15 million euthanized each year
This doesn't include those who are neglected either!

Are going to stop being selfish now?

I just got this pit bull and he is about 2 months old, I got him about 2 weeks ago and since he has been here I taught him to sit in one day. The problem is, he doesn't seem to learn how to let us know he needs to piss or poop. How do I train him to go outside? How long will this take? I'm about ready to give up and put him outside for good. My house is usually **** n span put now it smells of piss and poop.
HELP!!

When you give a dog table scraps, (if you have hard floors) why do they take it to a rug or a carpeted floor to eat it???

I found a beautiful, looks like a springer spaniel puppy who keeps kneading me and won't eat the soft puppy food I bought for her. If she still needs a nipple, what do I put in the bottle? Will regular milk give her diarrhea? She is about 6 weeks old and weighs about 8 pounds. She is fluffy and cute as can be. Help?

For the last two weeks my dog has been really lethargic off and on. He has only vomited about three times in the last two weeks, once was because he was choking on his water =/ He is eating, drinking, his poop is normal looking, no blood from either end. He sleeps (too much) and will go for a walk if I take him. However, he is soooo lethargic and looks weak in his eyes. He is also prone to bouts of shivering. Not to mention he is OVERLY cuddly, he is normally cuddly, but has been wanting to live on my head so to speak. All of the "emergency" signs are not there so I have not taken him to the vet yet. I can't afford it if he does not need to go. I am, however, worried. Has anyone had this happen with their dog(s) before? Any insight or ideas or information would be GREATLY appriciated! Thank you:)

I'm planning on living in Cardiff, Wales for a year and I can't bear to be away from my dog for more than a week. I'd like to bring her along for the ride, but I don't know how long the quarantine period is. I don't want to leave her in quarantine for too long, especially since she'll have to go through it again once we come back stateside.
