Pets - 9 December 2006

I got my cat from a cat and dog shelter, she is a tabby but she has a thin face like a siamese, she has been settling in fine but she has the strangest habit of running to the corner of a room, facing the wall and making these strange deep meowing noises and swishing her tail. Does anyone know why? could it be the possibility she could be half siamese because i heard they have strange cat habits?

This is gross, and I apologize in advance. We are taking my dog to the vet Monday for yearly shots and general checkup. Yesterday, we realized that she needs her anal glands expressed. She is scooting and licking and generally smells hideous. We know she needs her anal glands expressed, because this has happened before. The smell is awful, and is only compounded by the fact that I am pregnant and smell everything anyway. No one will see her, because she isn't up to date on shots (again, going on Monday). Is there ANYTHING i can do to make the smell a little less horrible, just until Monday? We gave her a bath and sprayed with no-stink dog stuff on her, but it has not worked. I am on the verge on vomiting here.

became very rude. They were muttering under there breath (loud enough to hear) and staring aggressive at me. They clearly did not like my dog even though he had paid them no attention. He did not growl, bark or even look at them. I own an Akita - Do you find that people attack the breed and not the dog. I was shocked at how rude they were to me. FOR NO REASON! Has this ever happened to you?

My next door neighbor poisoned my dog with antifreeze, and the dog died today. The man who did it is currently building a house next door to me. The police wont do anything because the dog was on his property. So what should I do? I cannot allow him to get away with killing an innocent animal. Something has to be done, but what?

The last litter she had she licked one of the puppies tail so much that now that dog has no tail. The vet said listerine. That is only going to ensure that it dose not get infected. I need her to leave it alone.

a couple of weeks ago my hamster escaped from her cage. we found her 2cdays later under the fridge and she seemed ok but recently she has been losing her hair and now she is almost completley bald. I took her to the vet who gave her antibiotics, he said she had an infection. She eats ok but she seems a little lifeless. Any suggestions. Thanks.

We are picking our new kitten up this week, both the cat and kitten are very loveable and love a fuss. They are both males,the kitten was hand reared and a small 4 months old.
Is it ok to just introduce them straight away or do we have to do that slowly?Ta!

Neighbour has four cats, one of which loves it at my house at the moment he's asleep on his cushion. I will leave a window open because I haven't got a catflap will he jump out of the window if he needs to do a poo? He has been trying to get in all day and I have finally given up after loud miows and jumping on the window ledge and looking in, he is really tired. NO GO area speaking to his owners ....

About two thirds of my neighbors have cats. THe rest, including me (I have a dog) don't. Well, in my neighborhood, the dogs stay outside chained up (except for mine). And the cats? THEY RUN LOOSE. Just now, a neighbor's cat went into my gardening shed. They all run into the non-catowners yards, doodoo, or mate with other cats and stuff. Many people I know who live here tell me I should do something. The cats are free. The 'hood is infront of the woods, and the cats come home and leave just as the please. The people practically don't own them! The catss just leave, have pleasure in the woods/our yards, do their thing, and come back home to eat, over and over again. What should I do??

My cat's coat is healthy, but since it's winter and my apartment complex is dry due to the furance downstairs, I noticed it was just feeling really dry...

When I pet him there's often a lot of static and I accidently shock him. He doesn't like it obviously, and kind of shys away sometimes when I try to pat him.

Are there any easy remedies that I could pick up at a pet shop?

Don't sugguest anything ment for humans... I won't try them!!
