HI,

I have a 6 week old kitten whom I've had since she was 4 weeks old. Her Mother got ran over by a car & she was abandoned left alone & under weight. Well all that was taking care of shes her normal weight finally and she's on kitten formula. Now the only obstacle left is to tame her any idea's. She's a BRAT she jump & claws furniture, attacks feet's & hands, climbs on bird cages, topples on plant's bites and kicks her feet, dosen't like to be held. The spray bottles a waste of time it scares her and then 5 mins later she's back for more. I NEED HELP

I have a male and female picked out, and I have been conditioning them for quite sometime, but only because my female has caught a slime/fungus disease. I am treating her for it and she is getting better. I want to do something else though, just to be prepared. I ordered a microworm culture and it will come soon. Is there anything else that I should get ready? My tank is all set-up and ready to go. Sponge filter, submerseble heater set at 80, no gravel, plastic wrap over the top, jars for the fry, and a cup for the male to build his bubblenest under. What else can I do while I'm waiting for my female to get better and my microworm culture to come and then set it up?
Thanks!

Joeseff is a 2 year old, husky/chow/doberman mix. From the day we got him, we knew he had agressive tendancies. At just over a year, we had to have him fixed because they were out of hand - he was attacking every other male dog we had. Getting him fixed solved this problem. Yesterday, he got out of his pen located in the basement for the winter months (large, spacey and shared with 4 other dogs), and attacked and killed one of my cats. We only had that cat for 2 months, the cat was about a year old. Everyone is telling me that I should have Joe put down for it. I don't think so - even though I loved the cat, I realize that dogs and cats are natural enemies and sometimes this happens - but everyone keeps saying that if he will kill a cat, he will attack people. What should I do? Are they right, or can I simply try to teach Joe to leave my cats alone? If he can be taught, how do I do it? I know this is a loaded question and I thank anyone for taking time to read and answer me.

Okay, I have a little 7 month old chihuahua mix and he's pretty much my baby....but he does something that is just disgusting and everytime I catch him doing it I spank him but it doesn't teach him.
Sometimes after he poops, he will try to eat his poop. I know it's not healthy AT ALL...I think it gives them worms. But anyway...why would he do that? How can I stop him from doing so? He's potty trained. But when I'm not home while I'm at work he sometimes goes inside and I'm afraid he may be doing it while I'm not there.
Any suggestions?
P.S please no answers that ONLY say "talk to your vet" I know that... but I want people's opinions/suggestions on it. Thanks :-)

My parrot likes to cuddle, I rub his beak area and he starts to make funny noises and sqauts. I noticed he had to bumps by his pooper shoot . I never had him or her tested to find out if he is male or femal. Is their any way to tell the sex of a parrot , without going to a vet?

I recently bought a rat as a pet. It's the first rat that I've ever owned and I'm not sure of their behaviors. When it's being pet sometimes, it wags her tail. It's not just a back and forth motion, the whole thing looks like a snake. Is it pissed off or scared? Or is it actually enjoying it?

Ok here's the problem. When we got the puppy she was underweight. At feeding time (she's now 14 weeks) she attacks her food like she can't get enough. We feed her four times a day for a total of 4 1/2 cups. She is a large breed puppy. I think she should get more food because there is a problem if she's not feeling full, however my boyfriend is very strict and wants to follow the feeding guidelines on the kibble bag to a T. What do you think? She is gaining weight, but it my opinion still is on the skinny side. And my boyfriend is anorexic anyway so his standards are obviously low.

He is always licking himself and his whole underbody has turned red/black and he has a very bad ordor. He has started to work his way up his sides. Never use to mess in the house and now he messes on the floor at night when we sleep or he barks to get out every night , through the night which is something he never did before. We are always sure to let him out everynight before we go to bed and this has always worked for the 11 years we have had him but it no longer works.

We had two cats that have lived together for about three years now. My son recently moved home with his cat, Vader. We kept him in our son's room until he got his shots and healed from de-clawing. All three cats have been "fixed" and are males. Only one cat JoJo chases Vader and makes his life hell. Vader and Edward get along ok. We recently moved to a new townhome and put the litter box in the garage and want all three cats to use it. Poor Vader has to be taken down to eat and use the potty. He is stressed out as well as we are..............help!!!!!!

ok, #1 I do have a heater.
I dont know if this makes sense but the girl at the store said that for a tall tank its nice to get fish that stay on top, in the middle and the bottom. I would rather get fish that get along. and don't need very long swimming space Would a male beta go with harlequin rasboras and tetras? should I put them all in? Like 5 Tetras 4 Harlequin's and 1 male beta ?
Anything else ?????
I'm open to suggestion, Like what and how many of each.


Thanks for the advice.

Male cat, 3 years old. Always been very clean and used bath or litter tray if stuck in house during day. This problem started in late Summer, but we only found out it was our cat who was to blame for the mess when we saw him doing it.
