I adopted a 7 week old kitten and she loves to eat her kitty litter. I have tried changing types but she still eats it. Will this stop her from going to the toilet in there ( which she doesnt do yet) ????

The older cat had been warming up to the kitten, but lately she has been particularly frisky. He is declawed and she is not. The older cat was declawed as a kitten, but he is my husband's cat and I've never done this to my other cats. I have been really resistant to declawing her, but think this may be the only way. He is so miserable and I think the kitten hurts him when she tries to play. Has anyone declawed their cat? If so, is it as bad as I think it is?

We caught it when it was trying to attack one of my cats. I had to hit it with a broom and I guess I knocked it out. I put a harness leash on it and tied it to a pole in my back yard. It put up a 'do not enter' zone around the cat so no one will get bitten. But the cat is insain crazy and tries to attack anything near it. It is the coolest thing ever. We got a sweater and a pair of jeans and wrapped them over and over with duct tape so we can run up to the cat and let it attact us. I feed it and dont want to let it go because it will pass on the rabies and I dont want to kill it.

I have a gecko and my sister has a cornsnake. Cornsnakes arent venomus and it is only about a foot long and not very thick i guess you can say. My gecko is a full grown 8 inches with teeth, claws and speed. Snakes would try to constrict and I dont think it would be able to.
I would root for my gecko. But i would never make them fight. Don't worry!

Recently, I got a call from the veterinary telling me they had a two year old female, pure-breed Golden Retriever that they were giving away. They had rescued her from a house where she was kept in a VERY small space amongst a pile of garbage, they often hit and even burnt her and barely fed her enough to keep her alive.

After a bit of thought, I decided to take her in. Now she's been here almost a month. I was surprised at first of how intelligent she is, in this short time she has learned several verbal commands and more.

Now, the actual problem is this... She bites EVERYTHING. My guess(If I'm very wrong here, please correct me) is that just like a human child, because she had absolutely no stimulation, she never went past the "puppy" stage in her mind. She has done a mess in our garden, broken my remote controllers, etc.

Over time, she has learned to leave stuff alone with a solid "NO"

I'd like to know what I can do about the garden, since she does this when out of sight

I have a cat that gets a thicker, fluffier, and darker coat around the same time every year during the colder months. My other cats don't do this. I was thinking maybe some breeds grow winter coats.

I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this is wierd. We have two dogs. one is a little frisbee dog, and one is a rott. I am convinced that they both think that they are human, especially the little one. I was just eating dinner and simon the little one was drinking my soup. I was eating it. but he thought it was ok to just have a couple drinks of it. He also has to smell everything that i am drinking. He only drinks it when it is milk or water, I just find it wierd that he smells it. (they always have water and food). The rott inka thinks that she owns our bed. She will push my boyfriend off the bed at night. Then she gets all pissy with us when we kick her off. Both of them sleep on pillows in our bed. This isn't even half of the wierd stuff that they do.
Does anyone else think this is wierd.
Does anyone have dogs that act like this?

I am becoming a pet-sitter, mainly cats. I have read loads of books on cats, but whats a good cheap way to have litterboxes/beds if the owner happens to forget or something... just in case. I know it probably won't, but just to be sure, what kind of things do dog/cats like alot when they are away from their home? I can't find ANY books on this! Also, how do cats get on top of the fridge? I heard it's a good place for cats to sleep, but how do they sleep in a box? A regular box? Do they really jump 7-8 feet high!?

I sent an email to their site, but according to their information if you want to register your dog you have to sign up as a breeder. I've been doing a lot of research, and out of love for these dogs would like to help contribute to having them recognized by the AKC as a breed. To do this you need to breed down 4 generations of top quality dogs and have a petition of some sort signed. To breed an AKC registered dog I know you have to show them and win awards to prove they are of good breeding quality, but how do I go about doing this for cockapoos? I can't show my lovely puppy because he isn't AKC registered, so how do I know and future owners know they are of quality stock? By the ACC standards on their website my pup has the correct coloring, stance, jawline, temperament, etc. I just need more information and possible some good websites or books that could tell me more about this process. Thanks.

My little sisters have 3 cats that I can't stand but they're called Peter (a black cat with white fur on his stomach), Michael, (a grey cat that's the same color as dust) and Wendy (a tabby). What about YOU?

most "normal" people use toilet paper after they poop. Seeing how dogs and cats poop just like we do, having your dog or your cat lick your face isn't the best thing. Especially since they lack the capacity to use toilet paper. LOL. No I'm not bored. It's just a gross thought that I had after watching my friend's dog lick him all in the face and mouth! Any thoughts on this one?

I think I made a mistake. I recently brought home a new bulldog puppy to live with my nine year old female bulldog. She does not appear happy. I have the new puppy in the kitchen with a gate and a crate for the puppy. I have "exceptionally closely" supervised the limited interaction that I have allowed between the two. On several occasions the older dog begins to snarl and emit a low growl. I am terrified that she may try to bite the puppy. I have read some other advice where it states that I should not be too quick to jump in. Please I do not want to take chances and spend the night at the veternarian.

I am willing to listen to any helpful advice. I think I may have made a major mistake. I thought it would be a good companion for my older dog.
