Pets - 15 November 2006

Hi!I have just recently adopted a new puppy. She was at petsmart and has been home about a week now. My oldest cat (I have too) has recently started attacking the cat. Usually it is when I am sitting in my office and the puppy tries to come near me. The cat doesn't fight with the dog in the evenings when my partner and I are both home...just during lunch when I am home. She still cuddles with both of us and doesn't seem to be too depressed....why is she doing this? Will they ever get along? Any suggestions to help them be friends or at least tolerate each other?

My neighbors have 3 dogs and their dogs are trying to harrass my cats. They are 2 Jack Russell Terriers and one Petit Bassett Griffon Vendeen, all show dogs. They call and complain that MY cats are leaving scratches on their dogs. MY cats stay in the yard, we have a fence! THEIR dogs dug a hole under our fence and run around our yard, chasing and harrassing them. They're threatening to SUE us! We have nets that extend above the trees to keep the cats in, so there's no way in hell our cats are getting out! I count them daily during feeding time, they're all there! I have to constantly fill in the hole they dig to our yard and I'm SICK of it! They're going to sue US for their dogs injuries when we're doing what we're supposed to do! How do I keep the dogs out of our yard and what can I do about our rediculous neighbors?

Do cats realize we wear clothes, or do they think that we are chameleons that can change the color of our skin?

Have you heard of a cat that loves water and when muy niece gets in the shower the cat jumps in too. The cat also drinks out of the toilet, and also when you pour water in the cat bowl and the cat will put its head unter it and loves the water.

My cat doesn't like the water.

...before filling their fish tanks or doing a water change?

If you suggest it for temperature reasons, keep in mind that the water added to the tank is supposed to be within 4 degrees of the temperature of the tank. If you have tropical fish, this simply will not work, unless room temperature at your house is around 78 degrees.

If you're doing it to dechlorinate, keep in mind that most treatment plants are now using chloramines instead of chlorine to treat the water. Chloramines take well over two weeks to dissipate completely.

The only reason I could see leaving the water out is to stabilize the pH (if you're in an area that uses hydrogen peroxide in the water - and even then you must aerate the water to remove all of it) - but I never see people suggest it for that reason.

So this is directed to the people that advise letting the water set out - why do you suggest it?

Thanks, all! Hope you're having a great afternoon!

People come up with the coolest name for their pets. I have a cat I have named Winston--after Churchill, and John Lennon, whose middle name was Winston. Share some of your pet names with me!

I have a 4 month old male kitten. He is an indoor cat, but I want to get him fixed. When is the right time to do this? I know they start spraying if they are not fixed--around what age do they start spraying?

My puppy first went into heat at about 6 1/2 months, than again at 10 1/2 months. Aren't they supposed to go intoheat every 6 months? Is something wrong with her? Will she continue this cycle of every four months or is it just because she is still a pup, and hasn't got into a regular cycle yet?

I bought my cat (hes about 4 years old) some mice toys so he would stop tryin to attack my feet lol. Well he seems attached to the one yellow mouse. He has totally mangled the poor tory, No head remainds, only the body and the tail has been torn off as well. Now.. he tends to put this mouse in his food bowl and water bowl often. He use to only do it when they were empty so I figured it was his way of saying "HEY fill my food bowl!" But lately he's been doing this even when the water and food bowl are completely full. I dont really have a problem with it, but its a hassle havin to pull the soakin wet mouse out the water and get fresh water ( its pretty dirty and I dont feed my cat dirty old water) I was wonderin why he does this? Its amusing but annoyig at the same time. He only put the mangled yellow mouse in, none others. I dont want to throw his toy away either since he's so attached to it. Plus its given my feet a break from the torment.

Why do people have to act like that?

It's people like him (on the psychological end) that pointed me towards law enforcement and criminal profiling...

I just got my mom a gorgeous little 8 week old (male) kitten for her birthday..we all love him, but my 3 and 9 year old (female) cats are VERY upset...The 9 year old won't get off my bed, and is actually throwing up, and sleeping alot, and the 3 year old is mad at me and the kitten, she won't let me touch or pet her anymore, and she not only hisses at the kitten, but me too now. Now i'm not completely cat stupid, I know the girls are just showing him who's in charge, but will they eventually come around?? I love them both very much but at the same time I don't want to get rid of the kitten, my mom loves him and so do I!!!
