Pets - 26 January 2007

Well, I made an appointment for her to get spayed and the day after Imake it, she goes into heat. Now the vet won't do it until she's done being in heat. The problem is, is that my male cat has already been fixed, but the female won't leave him alone. The male cat has become extremly aggressive with her. Is this normal for the male when a female is in heat, or is he just annoyed that she won't leave him alone. I can't let him out b/c the temp right now is -15, so he's in the basement so he doesn't hurt her. This cat is gonna be in heat for probably a month though before the vet will spay her. What should I do? Just keep them seperated as best I can, or is it normal for the male to act like this and let it be? He's pretty mad already to have to be stuck inside b/c it's so cold. Now with this other cat constantly waiving her butt in his face, he's really pissed off. She doesn't get it that he has no interest in mating.

This a two part question. How many people here believe in PHYSICALY correcting a dog? Why do others choose not to do it even when they know the dog needs it?
Honest and serious answers only please.

PS. I do not mean hitting a dog. I mean correcting a dog with a prong/choker or E collar.

I have a dog (german shepherd), who barks so loud (sleeps inside house) at night when the neighbour's cats (two of them!!) do their nightly toilet stop in my backyard. What can I do to stop them coming into my backyard? My dog sleeping outside is not an option. Also I don't want to scatter stuff that my dog could accidentally eat.

I have two cats, both 16. They both used to be happy to use the garden for their toilet, but one has recently started going on the front door mat.

I now have a litter tray beside the door, but when I got home yesterday there was a cat turd laid not a foot away from it and the tray was clean.

I'm pretty sure it's the female, who has always been a bit timid and a little scared of the male. He also uses the tray, which may put her off, but there's no way I can stop him.

Has anyone got any suggestions to stop her from messing where she shouldn't?

Are dog has had 2 liters the first was about a week early and the 2nd a couple days late (Going from when the female&male connect which is hard to judge.) From observation the 2nd liter is 5weeks old and very developed (eating soft food&adult puppy food walking wanting to be held etc.) It is remarkable the change compared to the last litter I believe these are healthier and more advanced than the first litter. (We have 6 happy&healthy puppies.) :-)
