Every time I get online and go to yahoo answers, there's hundreds of questions asking what to do about...dog has christmas tree needles stuck in it's throat, cat is puking up blood, dog got run over and his guts are hanging over the tree limb where he landed.....questions like this make me want to stay away from answers....I mean...Does it not dawn on people to take the suffering animal to the VET?!?! and if you can't afford the care, either put the animal down or ask the Tech's if anyone would be interested in taking it. WHY do people let their pets suffer? Why would you even concider letting them outside where there's more dangers and risk of them getting sick and/or getting a nasty disease?? not mention getting run over or the neighbors pet getting ahold of it... I don't get it! (I may be PMSing, I don't know, but the most ridiculous questions get asked). ahem, ok I'm better now.

I have four cats...three dark ones (dark gray/brown, black, and one very dark tabby) and one that is pure white. The white one is the sister of the black one and very loving and sweet, but the three dark ones hang out and lick each other's ears and the white one hangs out in the bathroom next to the kitty litter box...She is always lying by herself except when I get in bed...then she lays with me... This sounds like a dumb question, but it is seriously something I have wondered. At times she seems depressed, but I can't figure out why...

Would it be best to crate train them or have them learn to use a doggydoor? Is it too late?
My boy is neutered but still likes to mark places and it can be quite bothersome.

I want some sort of dog, or puppy, that is small but not tooo small, cute, but doesn't shed alot, and not hairless. Something that's good around children, and other dogs, and quiet enough so they don't bother adults, is there even an animal that exists?

Ok heres the deal, up until about 5 months ago I had 1 dogHhad him for 6 years) One Cat (had him for 4 years). That was fine and plenty because I live in a 14x70 trailer home. Than my grandma died and my grandpa was put into a nursing home so I aquired their shitzu. Which was ok. Than 2 weeks ago someone dropped off a huge orange cat and my kids found it and brought it in and he is a absolute sweetheart. My problem is I HAVE NO ROOM! However I cannot bring myself to get rid of or destroy any of these animals. The cats would be put to sleep at a shelter and the dogs are the only things I have to take up my time when everyone is gone all day. I just dont know what to do. And my husband wants to get rid of the cat and the shitzu. What would you do?

By "fighting" I mean chasing each other around the cage they don't get hurt but they do make sounds and try to borrow. Is it like mating or something?

Hi... I am thinking of a 30 gal. tank for Christmas... I want fancy goldfish, but people say they are hard to keep... So I have a few questions.

1. How hard (on a scale of 1-10, 1 being as easy as a betta and 10 as hard as hard as a real cat shark or cuttlefish or something for experts only) are fancy goldfish to keep? I don't mean the hardy common types but the fancy types...

2. What are the easiest and hardest types to keep? And I mean which are more susceptible to diseases and which aren't. And tell me all of the diseases which one is susceptible to...

3. Am I asking for too much? Well, I need the information...

4. Anything else you need to tell me?

And DO NOT say "Goldfish are the hardiest fish out there! You don't need all of this information! Just put one in a bowl!" That tells me you know nothing about fish.

i have a welsh corgi...he's prob. the best dog in the world. i know that most people say this about thier dog, but mine really is. he's really really smart, never ever disobediant (i can take him on walks next to the street w/ out a lease, and he stays right with me). he's always happy, but not stupidly so. he's nice to all people and all dogs. so i want to know does anyone have a corgi that is different, or a dog that compares?

My cat, Lily, is a strange one. I lve her to death but sometimes I think she is just too strange for words. She has a thing for pickled okra, sweet gerkins(pickles) or strawberry twizzlers. What is something that you thought your cat ate that was funny. Don't worry, I dont give it to her all the time, just we have to hide it when we eat it cause she tries to swipe it from us! She acts like she does with catnip! LMAO! Anybody else have a cat with strange cravings?

We are foster a mother cat and her four kittens. Our friends have two cats which they recently adopted from a shelter. They bought one of those cat drinking foundtain water bowls for them but their cats refused to drink it. They would drink out of the xmas tree water and other water but they would not touch the filtered, pure, running fountain water. Therefore our friends gave us the fountain because they thought that our kittens would like it. Our foster mother drinks from it, but I am worried that the kittens will become acustomed to pure water like our friend's cats were acustomed to regular water and therefore only drink foundtain filtered water. Does anyone know if they will develop a preference to this pure water?

My dog, a young black lab mix, was introduced to my two younger cousins today.

The girl is about 16 and her younger brother is 12.

He got along fine with the girl but acted very aggressive towards the boy. He growled, barked, his fur stood on end and he was very agitated. He made no move to actually harm him in the short period that they were together but he got pretty scary.

He has never, not once, acted this way towards anyone. He's a very quiet, affectionate dog who generally just wants to play. He thinks he's a big lap dog. He's very well trained and listens to us with no problems what so ever. He's basically the perfect dog. He's never shown aggression towards any person or another dog before, stranger or otherwise. He's very well socialized.

What could have been the problem?
