Pets - 21 January 2007

Our five month old kitten named buddha has taken on a new level of kitteness. He constantly expects me to play with him. If he doesn't, he will be a stinker cat ... climbing, riping around the house and BITING me and my husband (something new and happening a lot!)

I play with him three times a day for 10 minute spans.

I vary his toys and try to get him to play on his own, but he will drop toys at my feet and meow like crazy ... so we play and and the vicious kitty cycle continues.

He is a bengal tabby and I got him from our county's animal services. We are first time owners ...

He hasn't been fixed, yet ... hopefully this week.

I love the little fellow, but he is turning into MONSTER BUDDHA!

Any support or help would be great. Thanks much!

I know a guy who feeds his hunting dog one cup of dog food a day and he says the dog is fine.

My Dachshund, who is 1 year old is outside trained. But we recently moved and its cold where I live and I want her to be paper trained. Is this still possible? If it is, how do you train her?

I Want to start taking my dog for walks. Its part german shepherd, part chow.Over 10 months old. Looks full grown almost. Whenever i put a leash on him, he immediately lays down and looks up at me with sad puppy eyes. I know hes bored being stuck in the backyard and will bolt from the yard if a gate were left open. Im trying to give him a chance to do some exploring. Any advice?

if you flick a dog in the nose does it feel the same as a person getting punched in the face to them?

She is two years old and looks like a scruffy mutt. Her hair isn't flowy and long, and her ear hair is barely longer than the rest. She has a "puppy face" and a shorter snout. I was wondering if she might not be full papi? I got her from a breeder so I assume she is, but is it normal for her coat to not be full?

I have my betta fish in a small bowl so I change the water quite frequently (3-4 times per week?) and since the water has to be room temperature before added in, I have put the TAP water in a 500ml bottle and dropped about 3 drops of water conditioner in it. This way whenever I need it, I can just pour it in. Is this okay? I'm not sure if the quality of water changes after been put into a closed capped bottle, and I dunno if I should put the water conditioner before or after I put the water in the bowl (since my betta is in the bowl the when I do 1/2 water changes)...Thx~!

She is pure bred but not registered or papered so I do not need a papered or registered stud to breed her to. I will give you pick of the litter or pay a fee. The Himalayan stud that I was using is no longer available. She is a good mother and has beautiful, friendly kittens. I have all the kittens health-checked and spayed/neutered before I place them in pre-screened homes.

A friend, which recently and still may have bed bugs asked me to watch her cat while she's away. Is there risk of transfering the bugs to my house through the cat?

I've had all my cats since they were kittens, none of them has ever had anything bad done to them with plastic bags. Why then do they all run away in terror when I empty the bins or get a carrier bag out to go shopping? Does anybody know?

I have a 9m old pug.bostonterrier. Shes a sweetheart, she isnt aggressive at all and shes very lovable. However, shes always jumping on everyone especially when someone first enters a room. Her nails arent long, but they are very sharp so it hurts when she jumps. Its impossible to sit down because shes always jumping in your face, and licking. When I push her down or scold her, she just keeps jumping onto me. I was told to ignore her and just pretend she isnt there when she does it, but that just seems to make it worse.
I walk her twice a day for a half hour each day, and she has a fenced yard that she goes outside to play in.
Is there anything I can do to help her calm down so that when I walk into a room or when someone new comes over she isnt jumping all over them?

hello there!!

i'm near Toronto, Ontario. I have a 3 year old, 2.5lbs, not-registred chihuahua female and am looking to bvreed her for the first time, since having a litter of puppies will help to prolong a dogs life, etc, etc. Anyways, i'm wondering what are some common "regional" policies regarding this? I have come up with a few scenarios:

(1) little money up front and second choice of litter.

(2) stud fee up front

(3) half stud fee up front, then more when she is determined to be pregnant.

(4) first pick of litter. no stud fee's.

Maybe none of these are good policies, my concern with an upfront fee is then there is "nothing in it" for the stud owner to "assure" she becomes pregnant.

Would love any help or suggestions!!

Will asiign "BEST CHOICE" when quesiton is closed......ty
