Pets - 3 December 2006

There is this place called k9 friends near where I live. They are having problems because they can't afford rent anymore and they are being kicked out of the warehouse they are using. This organization has helped many dogs that are in need of a home or have been treated with cruelty. I am a major dog lover but am not allowed to have one because my dad won't let no matter how much i ask...and believe me i DO ask!! anyways i need to raise some money for them otherwise all the 130 dogs are going to have be put to sleep and i really dont want that to happen to them...any suggestions?

I have 2 perisan kittens, one 4 months and one 5 months. The problem is neither of them will wash. Anytime I source what the problem may be on the internet I just get information about depressed cats which they are not. They just seem to be lazy!! I have had to resort to bathing them as they were just so filthy!

If you anyone has any suggestions I would be so very grateful.

thanks so much

I let the cat eat the tinsel off the christmas tree, that's what cats do. My husband is worried that she will get sick or die from eating tinsel all the time. What do you think?

I have a beautiful 8 mos. old *****, purchased with the intention of showing and future breeding. Health and temperment were my first concern when I chose her, as she is a pet first. I have a 2 year genetic guarantee.

The problem is that she has had a case of hives from beef, then went on too blow her coat, and then a Staph infection (which my vet misdiagnosed) I had another dog that we had to put down a few mos. ago, and now I think that she may have had the Staph infection too (red, smelly, itchy, sores on tummy and rear).

The question is... do I proceed with showing and my plans to possibly breed in the future? Is this a genetic flaw and she needs to be spayed? Or is this environmental, like a second vet opinion has stated?

I ask because I am genuinely concerned for her, but aslo any future pups she may produce. I am only interested in breeding if she is worthy...period!

(PennHip and NCL tests will also be done... possible allergies are my concern right now)

I have a 15hh 4-year-old black-brown cob (gelding) with a star and a white nose, and I don't know what to name him. I don't want anything like "Bubbles" or "Fluffy", I want a good name.

By out there, I mean both throughout the world as well as on Yahoo answers.

And why are there so many of them asking/answering questions in the Cats section of Yahoo? There are nowhere near as many sick questions and answers in the other Pet categories. What is it about cats that seems to bring out the psycho in so many people?

I love cats and have always had them in my life and always will. If people don't like cats why can't they just ignore them? I do understand that some people get annoyed by other people's cats doing their business in their gardens - but there are plenty of safe, effective and above all HUMANE ways of deterring them.

I always vote down the sicko questions and answers and report them for abuse but I still feel impotent and fervently wish I could do more. Anyone any ideas? (I have reported one "person" to the RSPCA in the fervent hope that he can be traced - see my recent answer). But beyond that?

Answers from cat-lovers only, please.

My 7 month old kitten went in to be spayed and they did a fasting pre op blood test which showed her glucose was high and that her electrolytes were abnormal. They said that this could be down to the sedation they used as she was too stressed out when they tried to take the blood so i have dropped off a urine sample to them today. Any ideas what maybe wrong with her?

My Golden gets along with everyone (super friendly). Everytime I take him to Petco or Petsmart he makes sure he has to sniff every dog's butt in there to greet them. Why does he do this?

Mine climbs fruit trees, knocks several fruit down with her head and then climbs down to eat them.
I never knew dogs climbed trees.

She's an english bull terrier. does lots of mad things! but she's awesome

A few months ago, one of my cats urinated in a piece of carry-on luggage. Now that I need it, I want to know if there are any tricks I can use to get that smell out! Should I take it to the dry cleaners? Are there any great products I can use? Home remedies? Would steam cleaning work? I'm at a loss of what to do.
