All your answers were brilliant. The cat in question who is infested with fleas belongs to someone's son who is in prison and that is why they don't want him but don't want anyone else to have him. Taking the advice of everyone I obtained some Frontline today by pretending to be cat sitting whilst a friend was on holiday. I have just treated him with it. In the meantime I have spent from 6 o'clock until now, 9.45 combing him with a flea comb and managed to catch about 7 adult fleas and a few babies, he was loving every minute of it and so co-operative, it breaks my heart to have to let him out. Watch this space because I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this. I am going to lose sleep over this poor old kitty.

I have had my cat since September and lately she has been absolutely driving me nuts. She gets into everything and drags stuff out all over the house, she won't leave things alone that are on the coffee table and keeps knocking glasses over and spilling cola on the table and the carpet, she can't seem to learn not to chew on my hands and wakes me up at all hours climbing all over me while I'm trying to sleep.
I know....she is a cat and cats get into things. I understand, but this has gotten excessive. I tried the spray bottle when she bothers the things on the coffee table or claws the furnature but that doesn't work. She watches me while she does those things and when she sees me move (to spray) she runs away...ugh.
I know she wants attention when I get home and I give it to her. I let her lay on me a cuddle while I'm watching tv, so I'm not depriving her of attention. But I am at the end of my rope and can't take much more. Is there anything else I can try?

I've had my cat for about 5 -7 years now and only in the last two or three years, he had gotten this problem where after he eats something, he pukes it back up. I have to feed him very small amounts but at times, even if I feed him a little throughout the day, he still pukes up liquid. I also have to stop him from eating my dog's food, too. He'll sit at his food table and meow all day for food, even if I fed him previously. Please tell me a way to fix this?

My cat likes to meow between the hours of 3-6 am. She has only started this in the past 2 months or so. She is fixed. I give her 1/2 of her daily food at night just before I go to bed and she gobbles it almost immediately so she has nothing to go for the rest of the day. Sometimes she meows and has food still. I don't know what is wrong with her. My family is getting very frusterated by her and most of them want to get rid of her because she interupts sleep. Any suggestions

Hi, my 16 week old cavalier king charles cross poodle was at puppy pre-school last night when he had a little accident. One of the trainers was coming over to say hello and give him a treat and as they did he got excited and jumped up into the air, as he was landing his body twisted and he fell smack on his side on the pebble-crete ground. He yelped a lot and it made an awful sound when he connected with the ground. We were able to get him to walk with a bit of a limp and he did not cry. One of the trainers checked him over and he did not yelp or show any sign of being sore when touched. This morning he still has a limp and yelps when he puts full pressure on his front foot. I've been told that he might just be bruised and it will take a couple of days for him to get over it but I am worried that it could be worse than this. Has anyone got any advice? Any vets out there with recommendations? I am so worried.....

I have to put my cat down soon. I don't know how soon-I am taking it day by day. I have metacam for her to ease her pain-she has terminal cancer. I want to know if anyone's put their cat down, do you think I should be in the room with her? My mom offered to do it for me when her time comes, and I have to think about it. Anyone stay with their cat/dog while they were put down? Any help greatly appreciated.

I recently moved into a house and have 2 dogs. The neighborhood is FULL of cats. Anyways, I have a large backyard with high fences and my dogs are outdoor dogs, and they just happen to HATE cats. They love people and other dogs but just despise cats and almost stalk them in my back yard. They have killed 5 and I see more out there. My neigbors are getting angry and saying my dogs are dangerous. What should i do?

I know people say that you should feed them just a pinch BUT, how much is a pinch?

I have a 2 yr old shih-tzu who we believe may be pregnant. She was sired 3 times the week of Oct 23rd. The male shih-tzu was only 6 months, but I am now finding out that he could be fertile. They did lock. We want to do everything we can to make sure this is a healthy pregnancy for our dog. The first step is finding out and we have been told to wait and see. I don't really know when I should be starting to see symptoms. If she is pregnant she would be about 3wks and a few days.

I want to get a cat but I only have a small patio (on the ground floor) and i can't get a cat flap, so the cat wouldn't be able to go outside that much- are there any breeds of cat which generally prefer to stay indoors? Persian??

I just saved up for enough money for a Blue Tongue(d) Skink and none of the pet stores in my area carry a Irian Jaya or don't carry them at all. Does anybody know where i can get one off the internet or some place in California?

Does where you live determine the use of newspaper/pads versus letting a dog outside to potty? I've never heard of anyone using the newspaper or these "pads" for long term potty use for pets. Or are they just used while training a puppy? I'm confused....
