She was peeing in the house, but she has learnt that she gets told off if she does that, so she pees in her bed. I'm getting so frustrated and i'm gonna really lose my temper with her soon, as shes almost 6 months old, and she still isnt letting me know when she needs to go.
She does it on purpose, because she knows she gets told off if she does it anywhere in the house.
If nobody has any advice, short of telling me its my fault, that'd be great. And its not my fault, because I do take her outside regularly, and I get her to bark every time I open the door and give her loads of praise, she must jst be either very stupid, or deliberately annoying?

I am rehoming a dog from the dogs trust but cant decide which dog to get my husband has fallen in love with a ex racing greyhound, while I have fallen for a cross breed terrier. Unfortunately getting both is not an option. They are so different and dont laugh but I feel guilty that I have to choose to start with. I am a huge dog lover and feel for the dog we dont choose. Any advise

Hi. Recently I had a number of dreams which had dogs biting me. I had dreams of my own dog biting me and other stray dogs as well. In my most recent dream, the dog looked kinda like a husky and it bit me twice. The first time someone saw me being bitten and chased it away. But then it came running back and bit me again. The weird thing was that as it was biting me i heard this voice...it seemed to be from the dog. It sounded something like "you're coming to me just how i want you to"... I can't really remember but i know there was the words "coming to me"... And.......i don't know... a little embarassed to say this...but that...dog was gonna bite me down there when my alarm woke me up. (>.<) it's kinda freaky... so i hope maybe someone can help me here in what does this dream might mean.. thanks a lot..

My cat is about 14 (got her from cat rescue, they weren't sure of age), I've had her since 18 months old. She has recently changed her behaviour and I don't know why. She runs from place to place and suddenly refuses to sit in normal places(always has until now) she has to sit under the desk on the shelf or on top of something. When she is outside(rarely) at the front door wanting food, I open the door and she just miaows and looks through the door cautiously as though there might be something scary in the house. It takes a lot of coaxing to get her in. She eats her food then flits to the nearest weird place to sit, if I put her on the sofa she immediately jumps off. This has started a couple of weeks ago and she's getting stranger by the day. I know she's getting on in age but she's still very agile and doesn't look old at all. The whole family have noticed and don't know why she's being like this.
Any advice on weird behaviour in cats gratefully received.

12 small fresh water fish ,15 gallon tank and flake food. I know that you don't give them any more than they can eat in two minutes but how many times a day

You would think less water would help them keep their head above water easier.

I have a small fresh water fish tank 15 gallons with about 12 fish in it. How long should I leave the tank light on for, or do I just leave it on?

I don't know if its possible, but it would be nice if there is a method to prevent hamsters from pregnancy after their first delivery. Some people suggested me to separate the father and the mother but I still want them to live in the same cage.Can this be done through proper diet ?

There are 4 kittens living in a shed behind my apartment. They defiitely at least have something wrong with thier eyes, and I want to help them out, especially get them nuetered or spayed. Only if I get them caught, I don't want to lose them to do it all over. Also, any ideas on trapping them humanely ?

Recently got a 2 year old who is very lively but doesn't play. I've bought her a tennis ball but she just looks at it. I'd love to see her chasing after it and maybe playing with other things. It might spur the 5 year on to move a bit as well. It doesn't help of course that the weather is so bad. If I could get them both out it might be easier.
Also is it ok for them both to eat cat nuts? I have them on Pedigree small bite mixer which to be honest they are not mad about but they love cat nuts. Actually they will eat the pedigree stuff with a bit of gravy on but not sure if that is ok to contiue with?
Or is there any other brand I could try? Both Yorkshire Terriers so it needs to be small and we are in rural Ireland where the choice is a bit limited.
Thanks.

I'd like to know if I should get a Roomba if I have a dog that barks at the current vacuum cleaner and a cat that is scared of vacuum cleaners. Does it pick up furs really clean?

Oh, does it make a loud sound? Which model is worth its price?

Thanks!

I love my three big "red ear" turtles, but don't have time to take care of them. Does anybody know a sanctuary where they can be safe? I don't trust pet stores or other people who never had turtles...please help!

does your cat cover up his poop or does he just leave it there in the litter box uncovered?


yes, there is a reason behind the question...
i have a cat who just leaves his poop uncovered & i find that odd because all the other cats i have owned always covered up their poop.
