Pets - 17 January 2007

I have four cats,all of them related to each other.I have one cat that's the oldest,one that's 1of4 of the offspring of the oldest cat;and two that are basically the grandchilldren of the oldest cat.

Oldest cat is real nice and lets anyone pet her
2nd oldest is kinda mean&has a attitude
the 2 younger:one of them looks like a twin of the 2nd oldest(difference is the older is F&the younger M);the oter is looks like a marshmellow;thus we named him Marshmellow.And marshmellow also has a bad if not worse attitude.

Problem is I cant put flee/tick sray or powder on any of them. Each one will throw a fit and attempt to scratch me up if I try &put something on them.Evan the oldest catwhich is the nicest,sweetest,&most docile.Each one just refuses to let me put flee&tick stuff on them.First I was using the spray&that didnt work.Thinkin the powder is quiet&they wont notice...WRONG,they still know what it is.
So what do I do,so I can put some flee&tick stuff on them so they dont get ForT?

I have a pet rat, that I want to show in 4-H. But there's no rat section. There is, however, a cavy section. So are rats a type of cavy?

Can anyone tell me the name of a herbivorous bird, and a herbivorous reptile? Also; does anyone know whether you need to provide water for barn owls or do they just get moisture from their food?

(Before you all look at me weirdly, no I'm not harbouring an injured barn owl. I just want to know.)

Hi I free feed both my cats (they always have food) but they don't eat very much. Does anyone know if they might have a better chance at gaining weight if I fed them on a regular schedule. They need to gain more weight to be at a healthy size. what should I do?

I have 2 pugs. One male and one female. The female is 1 year old and the male is 4 months.

For some reason, and I have been doing everything the books tell me to do including the cage, the female refuses to become housebroken! Any tips?

I forget what it's called and I want to buy one. Although, it'll just be plain dog food until my pup is older. He gets a really upset stomach from treats:(
The vet's told me about it, it's rubber....a kong or something?
Does your dog like it?

I have a couple of hens that free-range in my backyard. They are for egg-laying only, not for meat. I'm curious if there are any vegetables that they should not eat. I am a vegetarian, so I'm thinking I could probably give them just about anything that I eat... but I know certain things like onions, coffee, etc. are bad for cats & dogs... just not sure if the same applies to chickens. Does anyone know, or know of websites with great info on things chickens can eat (other than the obvious layer feed, etc)? Obviously their main source of food is layer feed, I just wanted to supplement their free-range options with the lousy weather we've had lately. Thanks!

I have two cats and a dog. I got a five month old kitten about a month ago, male. The older cats are both female. The dog and one of the cats adjusted to the new addition ok. However the oldest cat, Lipton, who is fourteen has not. She lays in the laundry room growling and hissing everytime she catches sight of Toby, the new kitten. She won't come out and won't eat unless Toby is put in the bedrroom. Also she has begun growling and hissing at Darcy and Roger the cat and dog who untill I got the kitten she was fine with. She even used to play with Darcy, the other cat. Why isn't she adjusting? Why is she now also having problems with Roger and Darcy? What can I do?

I am looking for proven facts rather than opinions of why I should NOT feed my dog the supposedly "dangerous diet" of raw meat, bone and natural suppliments such as Fish oil, Kelp, grated Brazil nuts, Apple cider vinegar etc.

First of all, just wanted to say thank you to all the people who have helped me thus far with my new kitty (and 0 experience on having one) and this has been my best resource for finding the answers I need about my cat. So thanks a ton.

As for my question this time. Basically the last 2 days or so, my kitty will not go near his food dish quite as often (loss of apparetite it seems) and he will not drink water (even tried milk and he turned that down as well) He will drink and eat on occasion, but only for short periods of time, then he walks away and wanders through the house aimlessly into random spots trying to get in closed doors and whatnot. I followed him around to see what he wanted, but he just walks in once I open the door then walks out. He will not stop meowing either, no matter what I do. I play with him, he gets annoyed and runs from me, i give him food and drink and he doesnt want it. He just wanders around meowing. What heck gives? Any help appreciated...

Our hamster has a cage with two different "look out towers" which one he uses as a "bedroom", Every once in awhile he will through stuff from the bedroom in the tub, He fills it up and its packed where he cant get through..Then we have to go in and "unclog" it...Is he doing this to feel safe? He also uses he bedroom to sleep, and also as a bathroom.The cage is big enough for him not too go potty up there but he does, Is that ok?

My cat is overweight and I was recommended by the vet to give her dry light cat food. My cat does not like Science Diet and I don't think Purina is the best food. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on brands that do work and that cats love?

Thanks!

About 7 or 8 months ago I rescued a kitten from my old roommate's house. He had barn cats that werent fixed and had kittens non-stop. At one point I rescued one because the mom abandoned her. She is absolutly beautiful but the problem is...she is mean. I got her fixed and tried to do nothing but give her love and she bites you. You cant even pet her, and I mean literally because she bites you. Its not where you pet her for a while and she plays with you, the entire time I have had her I could bet her maybe 5 times. I think it is because she is ferrel and maybe imbreed. I feel that I am doing a horrible thing but I am thinking about giving her to someone to have as an outside cat. ( I would but I live in an apt.) Do you think I am doing the right thing?

Hi my name is Shana and I have 4 kittens that need a good home. Any day now my large cats will give birth again and I'll have 12 kittens that need a good home. The kittens are healthy and playful. I wish I could keep them but my apartment is too small and if I take them to the ASPCA they want me to pay alot of money. If you want a kitten and if you can take care of them then please call me on my cell at 1917 353 5481 . Thank you

I know bulldogges usually smell, but has anyone ever conquered this problem with Beano? At this point, I'll try anything.

This usually lasts about 5 mins & afterwards my dog just lays down & pants for about 30 mins. I was thinking it was a seizure but something like this isnt in the description. This has only happened twice in the past 2 months. Any ideas or has this happened to anyone else?
