Pets - 27 January 2007

I have seen a few questions or answers on here suggesting that spaying or neutering is not beneficial? Why would people think that at all when it is well proven that spaying and neutering is beneficial especially if the animals are not going to be used for breeding! Just wondering

One day while I was on the telephone with a chatty girlfriend, I noticed my large grey and white domestic short hair behaving strangely. I was still in bed and the television and stereo was off. My apartment was quiet. My cat came running to the bedroom door, stopped turning around to face out, then ran quickly back out of the bedroom and came right back, turning out again in the doorway as I lay in bed listening to my friend. My cat did something he had never done before. He growled loudly. I told my friend that something wasn't right and asked her to hold on as I got out of bed to check. as I entered the living room, a man was trying to come through the window of my apartment, which was on the second floor. He had climbed a tree to get there. He saw me, pulled his legs from the window, swung onto a tree limb and dropped down, hurting himself as he did. He limped away quickly knew no one was supposed to come through the window and what he did saved me from god knows what.

I forgot some details and more pictures.
His front legs do come straight down from his body, and he has howled before. And sometimes when he barks it sounds like a howl mixed in... And he looks like he's howling.

Here's a pictrue;

I just got them yesterday. A comet, a black moors, and a calico fantail. I really want to keep them happy and healthy, but I have them in a 5 gallon tank.

I know the whole 10 gallon per fish thing through research today, but a 30 gallon tank just isn't possible for me right now. Would a ten gallon tank be ok? How long can I keep them in a 5 gallon tank before I get a larger one?

How much and how often should I replace the water in the tank? Would two liters at once a few times a week be ok?

We have a puggle and when we let her out (crate training) she thinks it time to sprint through the house. We have a section off area in the back of the house for her to play and also have a area outside for her to play, but when we let her in the rest of the house she constantly trying to sprint through the house.

We have told her 'no' and we have made her take times out. We have put her on a leash, but nothing is working. She will not calm down, when let into the rest of the house.

By the way, she is a pup and she is 7 months old. Please help, we want to let her have more freedom in the house, but the running thing has to stop.

I just got 3 new pet mice today. Any tips on taking care of them? I used to have 2 pet mice a few months ago, but they died. They lasted more then 2 years!

I just want what is best for my mice. What can they eat and not eat? How often should I clean their cage and equipment? Also, what other special requirements are there to take care of mice? I just want to be sure that I know my information correctly. Its been a while.

The cat is a stray that I brought in. I took him to the vet a few weeks ago and they said everything was O.K. with him. We didn't notice that he drank so much until after we took him to the vet. He drinks all of his water and then sits by the sink and begs for more. (He's only 3.)

Another question about adopting a doggie. I am going next weekend to the shelter and hope to find our newest family member there (I found a few that i would like to meet on petfinder.com). My question is would it be ok to go there first and get the dog and then take him/her to petsmart with us to get a collar, leash, dog food and toys so we know we are getting the right kind for the right breed since we don't know yet the size, breed or age of the dog we are getting?

I just posted a sarcastic question, and removed it before it offended too many people. So, I will ask the question straight out. Why is it that many people don't do any real research before breeding? You hear of people worried when their ***** and stud get stuck together, and they don't know what to do. Not knowing that this was pretty well normal. Or, the woman earlier who had two dogs, one mutt and one pitt, that both had litters and the one dog was eating her pups. But, instead of calling the vet, she came here! Why do these people not learn? Why do they not want to call the vets? The question about the staph infection that they want home treatments, what are they thinking???

We have decided to go to the local shelter next weekend and the pound and see if we can find our new family member there. I seen a few on petfinder.com that I would like to meet and see if any of them are a good fit for us. I have located a vet already that was recommended by a rescue group. Now I am wondering about pet insurance. I know some say it is a good idea, but which one is the best. I am located in Ohio.
