My kitten does this wierd thing where it looks like he's humping my bedspread he grabs it with his teeth and purrs while arching his back for like 10 min at a time. I got him fixed and he still does it. Why does he do anyone else have a cat that does this??

I have a 20 gal (high) fish tank with about 14 fish (small ones, most under 1" long) and it's SMELLY!! Whew, lemme tell ya, it's pretty stinky I can smell it across the room and I just did a 100% water change, cleaned the gravel and plants, etc. last Saturday (this is Wed.) and it's already cloudy and smelly. Whatin the world??? I have another 20 gal with a separator with a Betta on each side that never gets cloudy or stinky. Any suggestions? I checked PH, alk etc and it's fine. I haven't checked the ammonia levels but can ammonia be high already and if so, would it cause this cloudy stinky problem?
Thanx

Mine was a Chow/Border Collie mix. He learned very quickly with minimal training and could go anywhere with me with or without a leash. He was passive with other dogs, never had an accident in the house, even as a puppy, and he knew right off the bat that he was no alpha and never tried to be one.

I adopted him from a shelter when he was a puppy. He didn't even have to spend one night there. I was there (just looking of course :) the morning he was brought in after being picked up as a stray. I truly believe that he was meant to be with me and I had him for 15 years.

I have two other mutts right now that are wonderfully amazing dogs, but no one will ever come close to my Chow/Border Collie mix.

What about your mutts?

My guinea pig is 1 year old now. He is terrific! I hold him almost every day. He has always let me hold him for about 20 minutes. When he is ready to go back into his cage or needs to pee or poop, he will climb to my chin and nip at my chin or low lip. After a month of having him I figured this out. I put him back and all if fine. That's when I usually give him a carrot. The past 3 weeks, he will sit on my lap or up by my neck for about 10 minutes and then he will jump from me onto the couch or try to jump over the back of the couch. I have let him walk on the couch but not on the floor without having the fence up so he can't get to wires. Every time I hold him now, he jumps off of me and will be very persistent about it. I am wondering if he is doing this because he is older and doesn't want to be held anymore or as much. Or he is wanting more 'run around time' on the floor. or just doesn't like me anymore.

Does anyone have suggestions or thoughts on this?

I have small children and this being such a large breed, I am leaning toward a breeder so that I could raise the "third child" with family in mind. However, skipping puppy-hood is a slightly appealing idea. I was wondering what others views would be.

He is about a year old. He looks like he is starving to death. He is very active. He has this cough he does sometimes too. I wonder if it could be heart worms? He does not have any other kind of worms. Also I like to how to make his skin more healthy. His skin is really dry by his tail.

I had posted a question about nursing, and explained that the momma dog had 2small lumps by her nipples, well Today I checked her for milk agin and the lump popped, out came some puss, I called the vet and they said it is normal it's just because this is her 1st litter and 1st time nursing, just to put a warm towel on it dayly till it clears up. Well I don't know if its me or I am just worring too much, but the pup seems to be weak. Usually when I hold it to check her out, she is really active, today when I went to check on her, she just layed around in my hand, I tried to put her on the nipple but she didn't want to eat, Is she just being lazy or could there be something wrong? She did move around on mommys belly, and fell asleep right away. But seems weak or just really lazy, Are pups that lazy? Or should I be worried?

We rescued a baby kitten about 5 months ago. Hes a Balinese cat and really lovable & friendly. Hes about 7 months old now.

My wife used to have a mini pinscher back in Europe, so she wanted one here in the states. We decided yesterday to try to find one and we did. We rescued a 1yr old min-pin, female, and IMO shes mean. My wife loves her, but I think shes mean, bossy and a downright b-i-t-c-h (im talking about the dog). Anyhow, we put the new dog and out cat together and the dog chases the cat all over, growls when our cat gets near the dog, etc. This little dog thinks she owns the whole house after 10 minutes! She wont let the cat near his food, she wont let me even pet my cat now, she'll growl and chase him away so she get the attention and not my cat. I love my cat (i never thought i would say that! ive never been a cat guy) and im also worried now about when my wife and I decide to have kids how that will play out. Will this little dog with a huge voice attack our baby?? TIA

2 weeks ago we introduced our 2 female cats to my roommates male cat (who he says is neutered and is approx 5-6 years old adn quite large, purebred bengal cat) The problem we're having, is we have to keep the females locked up at night, so the male can do his thing, and during the day, we lock the male up so the 2 females can do their thing. We're at our wits end. how can we help them get along or at least tolerate each other. My females are living in fear, and it's become very stressful. Getting rid of either of the cats is definitely not in the cards.

Any help would be apprecaited.

I live in a pretty small apartment and have to keep the litterbox in the bathroom. Let me tell you - it is NOT fun to get out of the shower and step right into crunchy litter on the floor. Unfortunately my cat, who I recently adopted, has used an uncovered pan her whole life and refuses to go near the covered box I bought, preferring instead to do her business behind it. I am wondering what other options I have. The mat I bought to catch the litter has been pretty much useless, as has "non-tracking" litter (she likes to dig).

Please help, this is just disgusting!
