Pets - 18 December 2006

I have a 50” projection HDTV that my cat loves to climb. She climbs behind it and messes with the wires, she climbs on top of it and knocks off the speaker I have sitting up there, which then falls into the screen. Lucky it has not broken yet, but I know it will soon if this keeps up. How can I keep my cat from messing with these things?

About two and a half years ago, I agreed to take my friend's dog because my friend was moving into an apartment where he couldn't have pets. The dog was eight years old at the time. Now my friend is moving into a place where he can have pets, and (per our agreement) has asked for his dog back. But the dog is happy with me--I've got other dogs and kids to keep him company, and he gets to sleep with me at night (my friend puts him in a kennel). He's also begun to show signs of age, and I'm worried that leaving his "adopted" family to go back to my friend is going to be really hard on him. My friend lives 800 miles away, so sharing the dog is out of the question. Any thoughts?

Okay, I have a clear guppy "blonde" I think is the term. I can ACTUALLY SEE 3 baby guppies inside of her. They have white/clear eyes with black dots in the middle and I can see the outline of there body. She is a nice healthy, BIG female, but why is there only 3? Maybe more inside? Will she have them soon? Because her gravid spot is not square yet.

I was wondering what the process is for starting a non-profit. I live in NC. I would like to start an animal non-profit facility. Currently, people are dropping their unwanted animals on my front porch or local people will call us and we help them out. At this time, we have approxiamately 18 dogs, cats, and fish. We also feed the wildlife--deer, racoons, wild cats, etc. I love the animals but I feel like it would be better if we could open an operation legally that would benefit the animals and the community. Are there certain rules pertaining to animal non-profits? What is the average cost to get set up? I need to know everything this entails before I get started. Any information would be wonderful. Thank you in advance!!!!

Our cat has been fully litter trained until recently. A couple of weeks ago he has begun to urinate in the corners and on our dirty clothes piles and such. How can I stop him from doing this? Thanks.

My kids (10, 6, and 3) would love to have a dog. My wife is allergic to dogs and is afraid to get one. I herd that the Yorkshire terrier breed is hypoallergenic. Is this a good dog for us? Will my wife be allergic to it?

My parents have a female cat that they've had for years. The cat only had one litter before being fixed. I have one of the cats from that litter. He's about 7 years old now. We were talking one day and wondering if we were to put them in the same room, would the mother somehow know that our cat is one of her offspring? Or would she just treat him like some other cat? Would he recognize her?

I have green algae gathering on the glass of my saltwater tank. It starts to show up in the high flow areas and eventually covers the entire surface after 3-4 days. I just cleaned my tank yesterday including a water change and today the algae has started again.

We are having an unusual cold snap here and temps are going down to 20's for the next few nights.

I am worried about the fish I have in an outdoor pond. I have two giagantic fancy goldfish that are about 3 years old. This morning the pond top was frozen. The pond holds about 75 gallons.

What is the best way to help the fish thru the next few nights?

I thought about putting a heat lamp out there, close to the water, but worry a raccoon might knock it into the water.

Should I bring the fish in and put them into a bucket - a bucket is all I have. They would be warmer, but would they stress out? The bucket is small for them, but it's just for a few days.

what is the best way to reduce the stress on the poor little fish?

I have asked pet stores and I keep getting different answers. One says Betas live well with fantails, other pet stores say no but tetras, still others say Mollies...I am confused. I don't want to hurt the four that I already have but would like to add at least one more.
