I have a two year old male cat. Got him when he was three months old. At first I thought his biting was play behaviour or because of this teething, but now I am not so sure anymore.
I tried everyhthing: water shock, lemon, shouting, clapping. My cat still bites me. I give him every love, but although he is pourring he bites when he has enough. He also does not show the affections that cats usually do. His playing behaviour is usually aggressive, and it is possible that he needs a garden ( as he is an indoor cat). Do you know any answers.?Thanks

My cat has always had the tendancy to climb things, hang out on the fridge or even on the kitchen cabinets. But for some reason now, its like he wants to go higher. While on our cabinets he'll want to reach for the ceiling. He does this now on our entertainment center aswell. I thought maybe there was a web or bug or fly or something, but nothing. Hes reaching for ceiling now, whats up with him. Scared he'll fall...

My gold fish has been lying on it's side on the bottom of the dank just moping around since last night. he tries to move, but then falls back to the bottom. he sometimes turns upside down. his guills are barely moving. he's 6 years old. we watched him last night and thought he would die within the hour. i went to bed and today still the same.

is he suffering?

should i flush him or just let him be?

i cried, is that normal?

how long will it take for him to die?

Today German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois's are widely recognized as the top service dogs in the world. This is why these breeds are used almost uniformily for miliary and police work around the world. Working line German Shepherds are renowned for their solid nerves and superiour temerament, but in general are less agile, and healthy than the Belgian Malinois. Both breeds have the drives necessary for serious work, and are relatively similar in type.

Why not cross the two breeds for a better overall working dog?

he jumped it heaps! i was watching tv in the other room, next thing i know he's next to me, scared me too. now he knows he is capable of jumping it. every time i tell him off for jumping it, he'll walk away and a few minutes later, he jumps it again. we've had this gate for less than a week!
i cant afford buying an extra tall one, they cost so much. does anybody know where i can get a used extra tall one? ebay dont have them.
what else can i do?

We just got into the chicken business yesterday-lol. I have 12 hens and 1 rooster. How long do I need to keep them pinned up? When can I allow them to roam the yard? I live in the country and have a large area for them.

I have a 7 month old boxer puppy named Griffin. Right now he weighs about 61 lbs. The collar he has now is 18 inches in length and is on the last hole. I m guessing that by the end of the summer the collar will need to be replaced. I am not sure what size collar to buy him. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I now own a 6-month old dog. One of my neighbours like her very much. She likes to play with her. The problem is, she keeps letting her do things that I as the master want to get rid of, for example, playing too roughly. Besides, she keeps giving opinions about my dog's health, food etc. when she has never owned a dog and her information seems to be wrong according to what I've found online! For example, I think she gave her human cakes and food(normally oily and salty). Her reason was 'she looks pityful...'. I've told her many times that it's not good for dogs. AND, my dog seems to love her so much!!! On the other hand, I can't give her these things, or allow her to chew and bite even though I know she loves it because it's not good for her!

Do you think dogs recognise those who give them pleasure as masters, rather than those who really care for them? How do I make myself a master for her?

I'm worried that our heating bill would go up in the winter if there are cracks or spaces in the dog door opening. Is this a standard problem with dog doors? Should I even bother getting one? Our dog is about 24 inches high, if that helps.

I just got my dog about 3 weeks ago. He is almost 2 years old and a chihuahua/pomeranian mix and I'm having a lot of trouble with him. He's scared of strangers and other dogs. He even bit me once because someone else was yelling at him and he thought that was the other person's hand. He bit my mom too. So today I was walking around in the backyard and he got so excited and jumped all over me so I told him to sit to calm him down, but he wouldn't so finally I yelled at him and he just peed on my foot. Same thing happened again later on that same day. He doesn't listen to me anymore...I really don't know what to do with him. PLEASE HELP!!!

This is a question for serious dog lovers who can look at a dog and identify them right away. My girlfriend and I have a pomeranian and we've been told plenty of times that people think she's not a purebread. I dont know how to identify dogs like that so we have NO IDEA what she can be mixed with. Her name's Chuchi and from what we were told by the seller she's a purebread. What do you think?

I took my 1 1/2 year old male miniature schnauzer to the vet/groomer yesterday to get a haircut and his kennel cough and rabies vaccinations. As soon as we got home, I noticed that he appeared to have something wrong with his right eye - he had a small amount of yellowish discharge, his eye was bloodshot, and he was really pinching his eye off when I tried to look at it.

This really irritates me because he JUST got back from the vet and, on their intake sheet, they noted that his eyes were clear. I'm obviously going to get a new vet, but I don't want to do it while his vision is at stake. I would like to know if anybody has any idea what is wrong with him and, if so, if it will require a trip to the vet.
