Do both parties need to sign a contract? Are there any sample contracts available on the web? Does a stud fee get paid before or after the "studding" occurs?

i know im going to get alot of **** for this one but it has to be done, im yet im worried. I have a 6 month old neutered male (he was netured at 1 month before i even got him) and we had trained him to use his scratching posts and he was doing really well for the first few months, now its like we never trained him. We just had to replace our boxspring because he tore through the lining and into the wood, it finally broke! I want to get him declawed. We are renting so if he starts at the carpets or walls we'll be paying double what is would usually cost to have things fixed. I want to hear from people who have had there cats declawed. Like whats the down time, about how much did you pay, did they seem "mad", anything helpful you could tell me

We shampoo our dog (german shepherd mix) every week with flea shampoo and put flea stuff on once a month. She has started to itch A LOT today (bathed her yesterday). She does not have flakes and her fur is so thick its hard to tell if she has fleas. She is scratching constantly. How do you tell the difference and what can we do to help her?

My 6 year old cat had a funny turn last week, we took him to the vets straight away where he had various tests, it turns out that he has a heart murmur, but it has caused thickening of his heart muscle and will be on tablets for life.
Has anyone else had experience of this?
If so how old did your cat live til with this problem?
The vet said that she cant really give me an answer of his life expectancy.
He is now almost back to himself, but im not letting him out just yet, he is enjoying being spoilt with poached fish etc!!
I would just like a personal point of view as well as the vets proffesional one.
Thanks.

I've bought goldfish from the petshop and the guy also gave me a jar of "conditioning salts" containing sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate, potassium chloride, strontium chloride, potassium bromide, sodium biphosphate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium thiosulphate, methylene blue. Nowhere does it say on the jar whether it is for fresh water or salt water fish.
I asked him if it was for freshwater fish and the answer was yes. The fish is still alive after 10 days, but I'm not entirely convinced that I should be adding this stuff.

I was wondering if anyone has an innovative way of capturing a kitten in a feral colony without using a trap. I've tried feeding them and petting them but damn kittens are fast. Using a trap, I would probably get the big cats first which isn't what I want. My 6 month old kitten needs a friend and I might as well give a feral a good life rather than live on the street. So anyone have an innovative way of catching him or her? Thanks.

2006-11-05 21:55:11 · 4 answers · asked by choyryu 2 in Cats

When you add the new water (approx 15% of tank volume), do I have to add the dechlorinator and the conditioning salt to the new water and leave it for 24 hours before pouring it into the tank, or can I pour the new water (tap water) straight in and then add the salts and dechlorinator into the tank? The instruction on the bottle is a little ambiguous and seems to suggest the latter method, but it seems wrong to me...
