If a cheetah and a horse were to race for a MILE (keep in mind a MILE) who do you think would win. I would say a horse since horses have more stamina. What do you think?

I just got a kitten three days ago and he already coming out of my bed to play, but it is only while me and my husband are around. My brother has 12 years old and he thinks the kitten doesn’t like him because it hides once he shows up to our room what can I do to help the kitten like my brother?? My brother tries to play with him but the kitten doesn’t pay attention to him and ignore him completely under the bed. I feel really and I wish the kitten played with my brother please give me suggestions.

My boyfriend and I just graduated from college, and during college at least one of us was usually around. We both have full time jobs, and I start my job tomorrow. The kitties will be alone most of the day during the week. Will they have any problems with this? I mean.. are they going to start doing naughty things for attention or peeing on the floor or anything? They're not used to be alone like that.

We brought him to the vet for a complete check up last month. All of his blood work came back fine. He has not eaten a thing in almost 3 weeks. He is drinking his water but not eating. We tried giving him everything and he refuses to eat. What should we do? By the way just before he stopped eating he was constantly throwing up. The one last vomit he had just before his hunger strike was massive and sounded awful. Is he dying?

Any help appreciated. I have a three year old male Cockatiel, wings unclipped, who has developed difficulty in flying in the last 24 hours. He seems healthy, alert, in no pain and I have noticed no change in his behaviour. My birds are excersised every evening and this is the first time that I have noticed him having any problems flying. He just drops, and when he is on the floor he is not breathing heavily or fast. There are some large feathers on the floor of the cage. Is it possible that he might have lost some flight feathers or have suffered a wing injury whilst in the cage.
He seems in no pain, and has spent most of this evening preening himself and preening his brother!
Any advice appreciated, all the best

The lump isn't soft, and it doesn't move. It's been there since we got him. It's the size of a small bouncy ball. We're making an appointment with our vet, but I am nervous and was wondering if anyone else has any ideas what it could be, or if anyone else has been in this situation before. Any information is appreciated.

Hi again, wanted to canvass opinions. I walk my 4 month old pup in our local park on an extendable lead. I do sometimes let him off to play with other pupps,,but always put him back on as he does not yet come back when called. Seems a shame to restrict him though, do people think it's worth risking him running away, well away from the road, for a good run or should I keep him on his lead until I'm sure he'll come back? I'm getting pressure from other dog owners to let him off his lead and am wondering if I'm being over protective? Thanks

My 6 mo. old puppy is like my child, okay, and I absolutely freak at the thought of putting him through pain. I almost cried when he whimpered while getting his shots, so when I think of how much pain he'll be in after surgery, I just don't want to go through with it. Also, I just think it's wrong to remove his body parts! He's a toy poodle and a house dog, so he's never around other dogs unless he's on a leash. He has a little stuffed bear that he humps occassionally (which keeps him from humping people) so I don't see why he needs to be neutered. He is literally, the sweetest most wonderful pooch in the WORLD and I love him just the way he is. Will the procedure really benefit my dog under these circumstances? I understand it's needed for outside dogs who roam a lot, but Bentley is ALWAYS on a leash when outside. Does he really need to have it done?

What has given llamas such a bad reputation? It never fails, when we take our llamas to fairs, some parents will grab their kids and tell them not to get close or they will get spit on. (Llamas almost never spit at people, unless they have been abused or mishandled at some point.) The same parents will let their kids reach into a horse's stall even though there is a "horse may bite" sign taped to the stall. I've even heard people say that llama spit is burning acid and will leave scars. I've also heard people say that llamas will bite and can rip a person to shreds with their "hooves". They actually have no top teeth in the front, and their feet are padded on the bottom with two toenails on top. Why have these gentle creatures gotten the reputation for being so "vicious" towards people??

I just adopted a 2 month old kitten and she was fine very active. She is just learning how to jump so her landing is not the best. Anyway she tried jumping from the steps ad must of missed and now limping on her back left leg. She seems like she puts presure on it but then sits back down. I tried to feel the leg but it hurts her when I touch it. I called my vet still waiting for someone to call me back. What should I do?
