Pets - 30 November 2006

I was wondering because I remember a friend telling me that it was safe and actually good for cats to eat grass is that true?

My hamster "bunky" makes a sound that sounds like "ssst sssst" it sounds like a sneeze, or like he's trying to get something out of his nose. He usually only makes this sound when he's messing around with his bedding. I use Carefresh bedding. Im also willing to take him to the vet, but he seems fine other wise.

we picked up our new cat from the rspca 4 nights ago.

he is 7 months old and has, to my knowledge, never had a home of his home. he was in a house with 30 other cats (rspca home!) and seems to have had no socialisation whatsoever despite being with the rspca rep or some length of time.

whilst i appreciate i have to be patient i am worried about him. he has been under the kitchen table since we brought him home, although i know he has had a wander about while we're out! and whilst he will grudgingly let me tickle behind his ears he looks so nervous and claws constantly at his bedding when we go near him.

he also has only seemed to have used his litter tray on the first night and not since then. he doesn't seem to be drinking much either.

any hints, tips??????

How Do I keep my kitten form scratching the furniture? We got leather couches on Monday and we are afraid to put them out becuase they were expensive and we dont want to have our new couches to have scratches. We also still want to keep her and dont want to give her away just becuase of the couches. But, we also want to keep the couches and have no scratches on them, cause i know that leather scratches easily. There must be a way form keeping her form scratching the sofa.

My creepy crawly crazy daughters are deperate for a gecko. I know that I will end up taking care of it as I have the cats, mice, fish, stick insects, worms (yes worms), even spiders. They will want to handle it fairly frequently. Before I embark on my research to find the 'right resptile' any advice reeeaallly appreciated.

what would you call a mix between a shitzu and a pug? Is there even a name for it?

I know I've heard of this before, but I can't remember any specifics. Does anyone have a link to a story about a dog adopting a baby kitten or know of a book about a cat adopting a baby rabbit, etc? Thanks.

My vet did a Urinary test on her and nothing came up, is there anything else it could be. She also said there was blood in the urine but didn't seem worried. Should I be?

Cats are not a native animal and as such have a devistating detrimental affect on Wildlife, upwards of 17 billion (yes billion) birds are killed by cats each year in the UK alone.

Please do not reply it is only natural for them to kill birds, it may be in their native surrounds but that is not the UK.

Cats also dig up neighbouring gardens and crap all over the place.

As in other parts of the civilised world is it not time to restict cats to being let out of their owners homes only when on a collar and lead?

My dog, Miller, is a beagle/german sheperd/lab mix. He is a runner, if not on a leash, he will be long gone. I was thinking of getting an electric/invisible fence...pros/cons?

I have 3 cats who are fond of scratching. One of them is also a chronic vomitter. By the way - they're all female and spayed; 2 are mother and daughter. I'm in the market for new furniture and don't want it to get destroyed by my feline housemates. I intend to buy more scratching posts, but am especially interested in an indoor invisible fence. The products I've seen are advertised for dogs - but are they safe for cats as well? Don't even tell me about the sprays because those don't work unless I use it on the cats directly (not the recommended use). I've also gotten into the habit of cutting their claws weekly, so I'm testing that strategy. Declawing is an absolute last resort.

My cat recently had a seizure. I immediately took the cat to the vet, and my cat had bloodwork done. The cost was $265.00. The vet called me a few days later to report that the cat was border line lyme disease and needed further blood tests done for comfirmation. Today I took the cat in and was charged another $255.00. Is this a normal rate?

rambunctious. Lately she has been crying ALOT. She cries when you leave her in a room and close the door, and cries when she is waiting for her food, etc. Any suggestions on why? (mainly why when you close doors)

I have a kitten that is about 7 weeks old. She is very healthy and active, but she whines when she eats and when she uses her litter box. She also likes to rub her face on the furniture all of the time. I have had kittens in the past and none of them have ever done any of these things. Any ideas? Thanks
