I am having a hard time finding kitten food where I live (not near a large supermarket) are they old enough for the adult stuff yet? The kitten food says they should get it until 1 but is this true?

I have just found a cat and now is 'toilet-training' him. But it pee on the carpet and near the wall. Now my house smells bad. How can I get rid of the smell and prevent the cat from peeing anywhere it likes!! My children and I love the cat too much to let it go.

I'm thinking of getting a maltese and I went to dogbreedinfo.com to check their health problems. I saw that they suffered from quite a lot of problems (skin, respiratory & eye etc.). Is there a very high chance that a maltese will get them or are is it only a minority of maltese which will suffer from these problems?

We have a sweet old scruffy mutt that stinks so bad it makes your eyes water. It's that familiar wet-dog odor but on the pungent side. Been to vet & she's perfectly healthy w/no skin problems, no infections, etc. Eats high quality food. She's woolly, thick-furred and the reek comes from all parts. Don't expect miracle cure from our vet because where we live vets are more for donkeys, cows, goats, than housepets.

So, how often can we bathe her? (hard to bathe cuz this dog fur is water repellent but yeah yeah she needs baths). Any other magic tricks, like putting baking soda in her food or vinegar in her water? (I'm just guessing here, haven't tried anything yet, I need your advice) Any magic odor-treatment pills I can have shipped from a US/UK vet?

I have a pet dwarf hamster, but hes been fat, like, when i pick him up, i can feel the fat, hes not like fat to the max, but something id like to trim down. my other hamster, in the same cage, is slim, and its got me kinda worried, so how do i make fatty (gorby) thin, and twiggy (stalin) thin? they are, from what i know and can tell, are russian dwarfs, and sometimes try to steal things from eachother, i also want to get gorby out from sleeping in the wheel, because stalin wants to use it, but gorby's alredy sleeping there. when i put them in the ball, gorby just sits there and goes to sleep, and stalin goes all over the place. how can i make gorby more like stalin? look at my past questions to see the other problems ive had with gorby and stalin.

I've noticed that dogs always run squint: the hips are never in line with the shoulders but are off to one side. Presumably that's so that the back legs don't crash into the front at full tilt.

Question is, do they always squint the same way? I think I've only ever seen (looking from behind) hips to the left, shoulders to the right. I assume that's a "right pawed" dog. Are there "left-pawed" dogs?

How many miles would a human have to run, swim, cross country ski or how many minutes would it equal in rope skipping compared to a hamster's daily wheel running? Or How many calories would a human have to burn to equal a hamsters daily workout?

I mean you can nearly run over a bird before you scare it off but you cant get within 30 feet of a bird on foot before it flies away. Why is this?

I have friend who's cat has lymphoma (cancer). The Vet says it will cost almost $4,000 for the cat to be treated and he may still only live another 6 months to a year and the quality of life will be minimal. Should he spend the money or have the cat euthanized?
