It's nuts. I've only had him for maybe 2 days and I am completely in love with it. It's sooo lovable. It wants to sit on my shoulder and hang out with me. I've already taught it to gives kisses. And it makes the kisses noise and then touches my lips. It's so cute. If I say step up it steps on my finger. I can hold my finger 3-4 inches from it. I can say let's go for a ride and it'll hop on my shoulder. I'm not imagining this. My hubby is jealous of the little birdy lol. Am I imagining this? Oh and it LOVES it's little head to be scratched. It'll put it's head down for me to keep scratching. It eats out of my hand to. The only thing is that it doesn't make any noises except for the kissing sound. No whistles, no singing. It's very very quiet. Will this change?

Ok, so Ive had a cat Sam for over 8 yrs now and he has Never peed or pooped anywhere but his litterpan before. Then one day he randomly starts pooing on the carpet. As if this wasnt bad enough a week or so later he started peeing everywhere too! He even went in a bed hes had since he was a kitten that he Loves. We havent changed anything in our house, and hes never had any problems with his litter pans or litter, and now that hes confined to our basement hes never done it again down there and he uses the litter pans just fine (we clean them daily). Were afraid to bring him back upstairs for fear that hell do it again. Weve cleaned all the areas in the house where he went, but the few times he comes upstairs he sniffs all around the areas. Putting plastic on the floor never helped as hed go right on the plastic. We really feel bad having to keep him confined to the basement... any suggestions? We know its not a medical problem because hes recently been to the vet and gotten checked out.

It could be some strange thing inside his treets, but he is outside, so I cant keep a constint eye on him. He seams to be fine. energetic, eating, pooing fine....I don't understand what they could be. I didnt' touch them or anything, they were about the size of a bean, shaped like a kidney bean, and reddish black... Any ideas?

My kitten is about 8-9 weeks old and every time I open the front door to come inside, he's there trying to squeeze out or if I open it to leave, he comes running to get out. He hasn't had his shots yet and I only want him to be an indoor cat. Any suggestions???

2006-12-29 06:43:16 · 13 answers · asked by BimboBaggins 3 in Cats

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

My husband and I are first-time kitten owners, and yesterday our kitty began to sleep and/or sit in his litter box for no apparent reason. He has a clean, soft bed. He hasn't acted differently aside from this, but in the few months we've had him, this is definitely an odd behavior for him.

We read that sometimes this is a result of an UTI and other illnesses in cats but are unsure of what steps to take or what to look for. Called the vet and he said they could run some tests. Should we be concerned? We don't want to take any chances.

Also, his environment hasn't changed (no additional stress or anything).

Thanks again.

Chocolate labrador has two 6 week old puppies. She mated with a large,quite long haired german shepherd. The puppies are black, quite fluffy and very adorable. The lab had an easy birth and dotes on her babies. I know of good homes for them both but have been asked what will they look like when fully grown. Does anyone know of any dogs that are crossed with lab and german shepherd..

Some dogs run up and harrass leashed dogs and trample over other people's picnics in the park. It also seems these owners who allow their hyper dogs to roam free, don't bother to pick up poo. But then some dogs not on leash never leave their owner's side, and often these owners of well behaved dogs are courteous, and willing and able to control the dog with voice command. Should the leash law be seriously enforced (police actually giving tickets) in your city?

I have a 9 year old female cat that is positive for feline leukemia. In the last year+ she has had immune problems with display of hair loss, sores and bloating. Incontinence has become an issue and you can tell she is constantly miserable now.

I am trying to come to terms with euthanizing her. The cost here is prohibitive... $45 office visit + shot + disposal... and I have a problem with the trauma of not only transporting, but the whole cold, clinical approach.

Is there anything I can use at home that is humane? I would prefer to provide a quiet and loving atmosphere in which to end her suffering... Something effective, but painless and quick.

Any alternative to this approach is also appreciated. I have very little that I am able to spend, but if someone has had luck with changes in diet, antibiotics or other treatment, I am open to trying any suggestion over euthanization!

there was no YA?

Where would you learn how to housebreak your dog, train your dog not to bite, teach it to obey you, learn to establish yourself as the alpha, what to feed it and when, to learn why it barks, why it pulls you on the leash, why it sniffs other dogs' rears, what to do if your dog ingests something he shouldn't have?

Might you actually go to obedience? Or, oh, no, can't believe I'm going to say it, CALL A VET? Maybe read up on dog breeds at the LIBRARY? Does anyone here remember what a library is?

(This is the third time I've asked this, it's not posting on my computer, so sorry if it's a repeat).

I posted a question on how to rid my tank of ich a while back. While I think some of the answers worked, my fish were far too sick to survive. What are the best steps to start over? I plan on draining the whole tank and refilling before I start adding fish. What can I clean the rocks and stuff with to inusre healthy fish in the future? Thanks for all your answers.
