I have two cats and recently one of them has started to pee on the floor...good thing they aren't allowed in the carpeted section of my house. I cannot figure out which one it is, and now it is worse. There is blood in the urine. What could this be caused by? They are both outdoor cats and also have a litter box inside. They are both about 13 years old and males. I have never had this problem before, so why would he start peeing on the floor now. Oh yes, and this morning, I found it on my kitchen table as well. This is a major problem and I dont know what to do. Should I just take them both to the vet?

I have had my puppy now for almost 4 weeks and was just told by one of my friends that if I had a smaller space for my pup she wouldn't poop in her cage. Since it's already been 4 weeks, is it too late? Have I already made her accustomed to standing in her own feces?

This is a helpful little hint that works AND is way cheaper. I don't want to get the "Yahoo Answer Police" all pi$$ed off, so I'l tell it in a form of a question. And then you quys can share YOUR helpful hints.
Instead of paying zillions of dollars for hair ball medicine (If you have more than a couple of cats it could be that much,) Take a dab of vasaline and put it on a front paw. They like the taste of it and lick it off themselves. So much easier and less painful than trying to give it yourself. The question is, has anyone tried this? It's pretty neat.

We own a young dog and are thinking of moving to Canada some point in the next few years. We will be bringing him with us (as we're moving from the UK, so no quarantine to worry about) and I was wondering if any one could gove me their experiences with taking a dog on a long haul flight How did he cope, did it take a while for him to get over the experience? Any info would be much appreciated.

We have recently planted about 300 Tulip bulbs . Our neighbour have a cat and it is digging out my bulbs, they are all planted the right depth and it is driving me crazy. We get on well with our neighbours and i do not want to cause trouble. How can i stop the cat from doing its business in my garden. I know our ground is nice and soft enough for the cat to do its business but not in my yard. Please let me know if anyone out there has got the same problem or if you have found the solution let me know please. Thank you.:)

An Indian Minor bird laid 4 eggs in my electricity box which hatched 5 days ago. Since then 2 have died but the mother has been with them 24/7. When I checked tonight the mother was gone & the 2 surviving chics are left alone. I have put cotton wool in the nest to heip keep them warm but I dont know how to feed them. Will the mother come back or has she abandoned them for good now? Because it seems strange that she hung around for a few days & then disappeared. Can someone tell me what I need to feed them & how to do it?

My dog has been part of the family for almost 4 years. And tonight, just a few minutes ago. He woke me up. He was banging on the door, and whining.

I went out to see what the problem is. he was running back and forward(in the garage) breathing quickly and nudging the door to get in the house.

I thought maybe he had to go out to the bathroom, or maybe was hungry.

Sure enough he went right outside, came back a few minutes later.

and then i fed him just to be safe. He ate really quickly(he doesnt usually eat if he is not hungry)

He seems a little more settled down at the moment. Occasional knocking.

Does anybody have any idea why he would start doing this now?

I dont want to wake up tomorrow and find him gone from, something.

Thank you!

I'm in the US and planning to move to Asia in a few months with my kitty. Now I heard that animal cargo is without air conditioning so it's very cold. True? It will take probably more than 15 hrs to travel, that will kill my cat! Can I buy a seat for the cat to stay in the pax cabin?

What's the regulation to take the animal abroad, do I have get him quarrantined first? Who should I contact prior moving regarding the cat? The mover company? Do you know company specialized moving pets abroad?

Are there Vet at the airport to sedate cargo animals?

It's been a little over a week, since one or both cats are awake at night, between 3 A.M. and 7 A.M., when they've been banging on the door. Last night and this morning it has gotten worse and nonstop. I can't sleep. I had two nights of deep sleep, due to fatigue and a little sip of wine cooler. Other than that, I still hear them. Since I'm a light sleeper, nothing seemed to work. I've tried to annoy them, use my "white noise" CDs, anything to block them and tune them out. Tuesday night they had hours of restlessness; but it was minutes of restlessness. I've ever banged on the door a couple of times to get them to stop. Is there anyway to soundproof the room, or get them to stop and sleep for a couple of hours, until they get along with my cat? So far, even when I let them out of the room or through the gate, they're scared and hide from her. By the way, the banging is louder. Please help me and my sleep deprivation. Any ideas from past experience or websites?

I took the pup to have a hernia corrected but where the vet operated, a hard lump has now appeared, 3 days after surgery. He seems to be struggling with what to do next. I personally think the pup was too young for this type of surgery. The pup is active, eating and in no pain. I live in Thailand so experieced vetinarians are hard to find. The vet wants to try and do the operation again but I'm reluctant. Are there any qualified people out there that can give me genuine advice. Thank you.

I caught a stray kitten back in october, and took it in for the winter, but I cannot afford to take her to the vet for any medical attention. She looks healthy on the outside, but as a stray, she may have worms and whatnot. I put up an ad for a free kitten and indicated that she was a stray. I haven't gotten any replies. She eats like a pig, and we have two other cats to feed. I tried taking her to the animal hospital but they don't take strays. I called the local spca and they didn't have room for any animals. The police dept. won't take her either. We had no choice but to let her back outside. But I woke up to the sound of her mother beating the crap out of her on the front porch. She apparently no longer recognized the scent of her kitten. I took the kitten back inside.
What should I do? I don't have the conscience to euthenize her myself.

i came back from work today and my maid told me my cat had been sleeping the whole day. anyway, i was rubbing him and then noticed that he looked different from usual. his nose was flat and there was some substance in his eyes.

my cat is a very lazy one who doesn't really enjoy playing at all but loves to be cuddled. today however, he ran away whenever we approached him.

he has been losing a lot of fur the last couple of months. we brought him to the vet who gave us many pills which cost $200 altogether yet his fur didn't stop falling off. he also happens to be 12kg.

is this just a symptom of old age? my cat is only 7 years old.
