So my husband and I, like most people on our block, put out our garbage the night before. When the garbage goes out, it is always in a container. We live in a nice neighborhood on a quiet street in a medium sized city. Well I woke yesterday morning I woke early and found half of our garbage spread across the lawn. Luckily, I guess, the garbage man hadn’t come yet. An animal had gotten down into our garbage can and destroyed all the bags inside. I’m not sure if it ate the half eat’n bits of food or not, but I found that it loved the Arby’s bag, it tore threw the box of fries, no fries mind you. It ate the horseradish and bbq sauce. It didn’t touch the blood packet for the chicken though, which my cats try and get and have once succeeded (not a good thing, this I know). It also ate the last remaining bits of cat food left in the cat food cans. None of this is huge, I went and cleaned it up and we’ve decided from now on that we will use the lids to the garbage cans, but the question is. Which do you think it was a Raccoon or a Stray cat? Now I don’t know if it makes a difference, but we have three cats and all of their ‘deposits’ were in the garbage. Just curious as to which you all think it was? That, and do you think it will try and get into the cans again, even with lids on. Since it had successfully gotten in already and had a ‘fantastic’ meal? Thanks!

My husband bought cat food for senior cats. He said it is okay as it is only softer. What is the difference between senior cat food and adult cat food?

One of my friends has this cat that is well mean. they got it from a shelter and it does nothing but hiss and growl at everyone includeing my friend and her mom. I think that the cat is evil but i am told no animal can be. Perhaps it was abused at one time?

The reason why i think it is evil is one day i went over to her house and i did not see the cat anywhere. when i went to leave the cat jumped off the back of a chair and dug its claws into my face and neck and started biteing me. I pulled the cat off and thow it on the ground and my friends brother put it in a cat carrier. I was bleeding and had to go to my doctor to get a shot for i would not get a infection.
Was the cat just being mean or is it possible it is evil?

I love cats! but not my friends. it died earlier this year we all think in died of pent up rage. even her mom was relieved that it passed. Should i feel guilty for hateing a animal.

I have 5 new guppies and 1 little catfish in my tank and used to clean my previous fish out weekly with a 20% water change with the gravel cleaner and not take the fish out of the tank. My old fish were just normal goldfish so they were always ok but my guppies and catfish are tiny and dont want to stress them out. Would you take the fish out and clean the tank or leave them in???

I have 2 dogs and want to know if it's OK to crate one dog but not the other? I'm assuming not but thought I would ask. I have a nightmare puggle and need help! We adopted her from a family that we know didn't abuse her. She was 6 months old at the time- now about 14 months. She is scared of everyone, but getting better SLOWLY. She ruined our couch a few months ago when we were at work. After a ton of bitter apple she stopped for a couple weeks. We were then gifted a cheap leather couch for a replacement, which she promptly destroyed. My solution was to put a kennel right in front of the dog door so when they enter the house they enter directly into a kennel. We're in AZ so it's too hot to leave them outside all day. Now she is doing her best to destroy my back yard. We have tried petsmart training, toys, etc. The only option left I can see is a crate, but I don't want to have to start crating my 4yr old springer now. Shouldn't these puppy problems end soon? Any suggestions?

I trained my dog to fetch and when I could tell he was getting sick of the game I gave him the command take it and sing go hunter its your birthday have a party,he's a good dog!
he runs around like crazy and growls/sings along with me with the toy in his mouth. English Springer Spaniels often are vocal and sing when they are playing-- And yes I know I shouldn't admit this in publicLOL

Why do dogs like to place their toys on you when they are chewing on them? Mine loves to place it against my leg or in my lap! I find it really cute.

Today I caught my dog eatting off my dinner plate while i was in another room. Normally when he misbehaves I'm usually quick to slap him around the face area. I have never seen this as animal abuse since I'm only disfusing the situation. I caught a glimpse of this animal police show and now i'm wondering if slapping him is wrong. Would maybe a belt or cord be better?

i have noticed that HEAPS of people here seems to not recognize the fact that a dog is infact a dog. its ok if it stays outside and its ok if you arent home all day. they are animals and as such, theres no baby talk involved nor dressing them up. i have 2 dogs and me and hubby are both at work all day until 5.30pm. they are always inside when we are home but sometimes we just put them out to kinda "get rid of them" :)

wot do u think its appropriate with your dog?
