Well im at my limit for fosters and kittens I am over run with them and its 2007 you'd think there would be less pregnant cats out there. Guess not. My other foster Noodles and her pasta kittens are doing well, and now I got a new female in yesterday morning, her name is Lighting. My nephew named her since she is black with a bolt of white down her face and then it continues to her front leg to her paw. She gave birth last night to 4 kittens. One has a neurological issue but we are going to try to save him too.

Tonight i found two HUGE slugs clinging to my door frame... they were about 6 inches long.... Well they were get globs of slime everywhere and were killing all my plants so i tried to just shut the door, hoping it would squoosh them. Well they started to squeeze through the door!!! and i was totally freaked out and i attacked them with my only deffense..... salt!

Do you think that was cruel or just me practicing self defense, because they were intruding into my house? And i was afraid they would suffocate me in the middle of the nigh with yucky goo because i shut them in the door... I am aloud to protect my home, right???

yeah... basically all my female bettas are dying except 3 (one of them is currently breeding). the three are fairly new, one's probably 2 yrs old, another is probably about 1.5yr and the other is probably right around 1yr old, maybe younger, I only got her a month or so ago.

anyway, they older ones aren't sick or anything, just old. well over 4yrs old. they're pretty beasty. this year they've slowed down a lot, and now the younger ones have started picking at them and taking over (especially the "pet/favorite" of the alpha, she's really following in her foot steps, I guess it's good they still have a leader). they mostly sit on the bottom and they just look awful. I know the alpha is going soon, she can barely swim long enough to eat, which was her favorite activity.

makes me sad, I wish they didn't have to die. anyway, anyone else have sad dying fish stories? I could use some sad stories so I don't feel so crazy to be so attached to "just fish"

12 week old kitten continues to bite. Nothing I have tried works. She is getting big and strong so her bites really hurt. I don't know how to get her to stop. She has her sweet moments (when she's tired), but not often enough. Spraying her with water doesn't work. Please help!

These cats have grown together and only recently have they gone into major cat fights. In fact, one of them bit and clawed my husband when he tried to break the fight up. Please help

I have an older cat, I would say 8 or 9 years old and a younger cat, which is a year old. My oldest is a male and the youngest is a female. They're always playing together and always doing this and that, best friends if you will. Well, I was just curious why my oldest cat bites the younger ones neck? She doesnt seem to mind it, in fact, she looks as though she's enjoying it. They're both 'fixed', so Im not exactly sure what it could be. She just lays there and let's him.. no tryin to push him as though they're playing or anything.

ok i want to start an aquarium soon. money is a little tight to get the really nice stuff, so i want a real expert to answer me and tell me what they have and what might work. ty

ok so i am thinking of getting a 30 gallon tank. my first Q is how much do those tanks cost? i want 3 different fish type - yellowtail damselfish, spotted cardinalfish, bicolor blenny; which leads me to 2 Q's - what type of decorations and needed things should i get for the tank? also what food? and being i am getting only those 3 kinds of fish and i have a 30 gallon tank, how many of each should i get that will still leave room for health and happiness? ty for good answers :)

1 more Q, what gadgets or whatever will need to bought? like ill need a filter, heater, but what else? i just need really a list of every item you would have to set up, clean, and maintain a nice tank.

I have a 55 gallon tank that I got from a friend about 5 years ago. Until now, I had no idea that the filter had cartridges or could be detached and changed. We have only had a VERY happy pleco living in it.

I want to begin to adding fish, so I took a water sample to PetSmart. My nitrate level is "off the chart" and there is amonia present. The girl pointed us to a new filter (can't find a brand name on the old one) that is $150.00 and said that the other filters will not work. Is this true and/or could someone recommend a decent filter that may be a little cheaper?

My electric yellow just let her babies out of her mouth. Should I take the mother out of the aquarium? She hasn't eaten in over a week, and I'm worried that she might try to eat the babies. However, I have another, larger red zebra in the same tank or is also mouth brooding. I don't think she will eat them, but if its ok, I'll take her out too when hers' are born.

When should these begin eating? I have added some tiny tropical flakes in, but they don;t seem interested,

Any help is appreciated.

I have just found out that my purebred Sib has heart disease. After reading up on this I note that life expectancy is 3 years. He is the love of my life and I want to make sure that the 3 years he has is filled with care and happiness. He is 8 months old. I am distressed at this diagnosis but I want to make sure that I can do everything to help him have a fulfilled life. Does anyone have anything to advise me on this terrible situation?

I have a 100+ aquarium with tons of fish. Everyone seems healthy (so far). Recently I put a white feeding thing in there to eat while I was out of town. I forgot about it and it started to mold.

Now there is mold all over the place. It's a white mold of some sort. I've tried hosing it out, washing the rocks out, but it just starts coming back by the next day.

Any ideas of what will kill it before it gets my fish?

I LOVE riding barback, and bareback pads have always looked like fun to me but I have never tried one. Are they a good investment? Do they make it easier to ride and is the difference in comfort worth the cost?

My current roommate and I bought cats the same day and the cats have lived together since they were brought home, but I plan to move out soon and hadn't realized that the cats had bonded so much so quickly. Is there a way to separate them when I move that wouldn't result in either cat dying or becoming unproductive from loneliness?

I have a 15 gal. freshwater tank that's been set up for about a month now. It has a small piece of driftwood in it, but I got it at a really great fish store. It's one that's safe for tanks. Anyways, it's growing something. It's white-ish and about an inch tall, it waves in the water. What is it? Algae? If so, do cory fish eat it?? If they don't, what fish will? I really don't want to use chemicals unless I REALLY have to.

Hi,
I want to find alternative litter besides clay. I notice that whenever my cat starts digging, he's sniffing in the dust and his nose gets this black things that I have to finger out every time he's sleeping.

I want litter that does the same job as clay but much safer and friendly on his nostrils.

Thanks :)
