It came to my notice recently that a large tin of mackerel is cheaper than a large tin of Whiskas. My cat loves tinned fish (mackerel, tuna, pilchards, sardines etc). Does it contain everything nutritionally a cat needs?

We are going out of town for Christmas and bringing our cat. The car ride will be about 10 hours. Any suggestions on something I can give my cat to calm her down/make her sleep in the car? The vet told me liquid benadryl would work, anyone have experience with this?

ok, my goldfish keep dying on me, and they are not feeder goldfish, they are fantail goldfish, and I went through 3 of them in one year. we went to 3 different pet stores to see what they thought, and they all said the same thing, 2 lb tank, with a filter, and room temperature water, keep the fish in the bag in the tank for about an hour to let it get used to the water, and that's what I do, but it's just not working out, my one fish lived for 8 months, the other one lived for 4 months, and the other one lived for 6 days. and I don't understand it, my cousin have two feeder goldfish in a 6 inch tank, and they have been living for over a year know, so please help me and tell me what to do! oh and they have been dying by one fish got black, and his eyes got really big, and popped, and the other two just died. I don't know how. so please help me!

i have a water garden with a few fish in it. some fantails and a shubunkin. ive had them in the pond since spring this year. this morning i lost one and the other male doesnt look like hes going to live. i live in fla. and was wondering if the stress of our weird winter could be causeing death. my other guys are doing great. they are swimming around just fine eating the algea off the sides like normal. my water conditon is fine and i always add my bacteria and clean the leaves out of the pond. so theres nothing rotting on the bottom. the fish that died didnt appear to have any parasites or infection it just died. so any help would be great!

first these bastards tell the management to remove my so called 'illegal' dog and after some serious persuasion on my part the management ruled that i could keep my dog (even though i own my condo and had my dog for 4 years, so based on the grandfather clause, they couldnt legally force me to do that). Now after the ruling, these residents tell the management that we shouldnt be allowed to let my dog urinate in front of the building. I swear these people have no life and everytime i walk my dog these dumb idiots stick their ugly little heads outta their windows and look at me with a befuddled and angry expression. So a.) how do i train my dog to not urinate right when he walks outside? b.) can they legally force me to keep my dog fron urinating in front of the building and c.) who else hates my neighbors?

My dog is 13 years old, and I taught her how to shake, wack people in the nuts, (she taught her self actually) and how to knock on doors when she wants to come in, instead of jumping on them. We taught her how to eat fruits, but not vegitables, (in all the same year) and I taught her how to sit when she was 9. I mean seriously I taught almost everything she knows when she got really old. If you are interested, she is a german sheperd.

Through a bizarre sequence of events, I have come into possesion of a flamingo. Great! you might think, but actually its nothing but hassle. He eats constantly, and has put three holes in my sofa.
I have had two ideas to solve the problem that I'd like your opinion on -
1. Kill the flamingo and sell it for meat.
2. Eat the flamingo

Can anyone help me out here?

I want a big dog, no tiny little shrimpy things. Not to big though. Has to be calm and can be alone for part of the day.

My 20 year-old cat passed away about six weeks ago. I intended to get another one after the holidays. I can honestly say I like dogs and cats the same but for different reasons. I've never had a dog before and there's nothing like the company of a nice cannine. The issue is I live alone. My schedule would permit me to take care of him (What's a good breed for chauvanists?) mostly by myself. I can afford to pay for a dog walker and occasional boarding. But I believe that a dog needs to have an extended family. I can't provide that. They're social creatures. Usually when I socialize I go out. I'm concerned that I couldn't fully provide for the dog's emotional needs. I'm also concerned that having to do all that extra work would diminish the pleasure of having him.
(Yes, I said HIM!) If you have a cat that gets lonely you can always get her (Yes, HER!) a buddy and it's very little extra work.
Whadaya think? P.S. I love Shih-Tzus. Feel free to e-mail me any doggie pics.

I live in the country and have my own 2 dogs,chickens and ducks.
Each animal has it's place and it's own personaility and I love and care for each and everyone of them.
Now,I get up one morning to find a chicken missing and find that a cat has taken up home under my storage shed.
I let things go and before long I am down 2 more chickens so eventually I trap the cat and shoot it. . .chickens don't come up missing anymore(my prettiest hen is now gone).
Why do people dump these unwanted animals out in the country thinking us who live in the country just want or need them?
I understand that most people think that having a dog pound put these animals to sleep is cruel but what about dumped off animals who can get hit by cars who don't die right off and suffer or what about those animals who starve because they don't know how to find their own food.
I am tired of buying chickens and ducks and getting attacted to them only to lose them to a stray animal.
Get your pets neutered! !

The stripes on my "Tiger Bala" fish have turned blue. Her underside is slowly swelling. She is still very active. How will I know when she lays her eggs and is there anything i can do to protect her and her eggs from the other fish in my 30 gallon tank? There are two other fish just like her in my tank.
