Hello! I've decided to adopt a 6 year old female cat! I already have two 6 month old kittens (male and female) at home. (All three are spayed and neutered!!) I have a few questions...
1. Will the kittens be ok with the older girl, and will she be ok with them?
2. I don't like the name she was given. Can I change it, or is she too old for me to change it?
3. I think I need some litter box suggestions. I use the clumping litter and scoop out the boxes at least twice a day, put the clumps into grocery bags, and put them in the garbage. I find that I am running out of bags, and that the kitchen smells like urine. What works for you guys? How do you clean up/dispose of the clumps??

Thank you!!

and I read that you can't put Betta and Angelfish together because the Betta will attack it due to similar looks. At my local library they have 2 fish tanks which contain Angel, Bettas, Tetra, etc. The Betta doesn't attack the Angelfish, vice versa. Is that because the Betta is female?

I know corgis are cattle dogs and they like to herd cattle around. I believe she thinks our children are her cattle. We'd like to keep her, but I don't know if we will be able to if she doesn't stop this habit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would love to get my son (3 yr old) a fish. I work 12 hour shifts. What would be the best SMALL fish to get that requires hardly anything except alittle food and that doesn't die easily? Would getting a small algae eatter help any? I'm not that great at remembering to keep tanks that clean.

I think my beta fish may be ill. Her fins are clamped together, her stomach looks larger than my other female beta, she's either really still, or twitching all over the place in a beserk way, like she's trying to escape. Is she suffering from some diesease, or is she pregnant? (I recently got her from a store that was breeding some of their fish.) If so, please tell me what to do! I'm sending her off as a present for my friend in two days, and I'm worried that she might die.

I'm considering these breeds, and would like to know your experience with them. How are they with strangers? Other dogs? Kids? How much exercise do they need to be happy? Could they live happily in a 2 bedroom apartment? What about a townhouse? Thanks, trying to do all the homework to make the right decision. I'm also curious about mixes of these breeds, doesn't have to be purebred!

She gets this lump in her eye and she's had it before but once it popped and bled, and I want to help her get rid of it because it looks painful and I would want to get rid of it if it were in my eye. Her eye is completely red, while the eye without it is white. Please answer back.

Things to remember while answering:

1-We live on a boat part-time. She loves the water, the boat, has never lived off it except for about 2 weeks when she was born. Isabel (Issy) is now 2 1/2.

2-Even though it is a dog-collar, it fits her perfectly. It COULD be a cat collar. Just the label says it's a dog collar.

3-She doesn't get tangled up in the lines. No how, no way. She sits underneath our dodger and suns herself.

4-The only reason we have the harness is so she doesn't fall overboard and get killed by both the freezing cold water and the racing current.

5-If GOD FORBID she falls overboard and hangs there until someone can "rescue" her, she won't be choking because it's a harness, not a collar.

6-Will it cause any harm to her forelegs? I don't want my cat to die...obviously that's why we bought her the harness in the first place!

7-Also, the harness will keep her from running off the boat andd getting lost in the city.

My friend has owned several small bunnies and, although she takes very good care of them (she's not rough or forgetful of them), they all seem to die within a three-month period. Why is this? Is she doing something wrong or are little bunnies just not very hardy creatures?

I know you use it for helping the fish keep their electrolites, and helping them regenerate their fins if the've been damaged, but the carton says to use it when you set up a new tank. what are the real benifits of using aquarium salt (for freshwater tanks), and can it hurt your goldfish? or any other fish for that matter? thanks in advance!!

also, i read on a vet's website that aquarium salt can kill ich, because it bursts the bug's cells wide open. has anyone done that and what were your results?
