I left the room one time, and I'm almost certain one of my pets called me a B and used the F word.

Is it usual for a male to attack a female cat? My neighbours cat who was here first is making my cat 's life a misery. He hides and waits for her and attacks her at any opportunity. He has given her a couple of nasty bites in the past. He left her with a big bald spot one time due to pulling her fur out from the roots. If I see him I chase him away but wondered if anybody had any ideas. He is neurtered but seems to like bullying my cat.

My wife and I are lucky enough to have a wonderfully behaved and clever JRT pup (10 months). We have had very few incidents of destruction / chewing and virtualy have no concerns over leaving her free in the house while we are out. The problem is that she seems to be quite submissive and if I ever do have to be firm with her she seems to be devestated and will become incredibly timid and stressed for quite some time (hours to days). When I say firm I mean raising my voice and a firm look. (no hitting or grabbing at all!). We never have had reason to hit our rough house our pup but surely need to be firm with her when she does misbehave. Anytips for toughening her up? Between these bouts of self pity she seems to be a very happy and content puppy... Any advice appreciated... I thought JRTs were meant to have a bit more spunk...!!!

My goldfish were 1.5" when I got them, they're now each 6" long. I have them in a 20 gallon long tank. One 'fish expert' told me they'd get to 8-10" long and needed at the largest a 29 gallon tank. Another 'fish person' said they need AT LEAST a 40-50 gallon tank now, and possibly a larger one ... and said they can grow to be 1.5 FEET or larger. I love my two fish, and want them to grow as large as possible ... but we live in a third story apartment that is 'small' ... I need help deciding 'what to get' to make my fish 'really happy' in our apartment.

My dog, a labrador-ish thing, goes absolutely nuts when I start playing the piano. He howls as if it he was being tortured horribly. However, when I play a recording of a piano, he does not react.

Can anyone offer an explanation for this? I'm mystified.

I just realized my turtle has laid eggs in the water in my fish tank. I have no idea what to do. Do I just leave the eggs in the water or do they need to be removed?

I have a 10 year old yorkie male (5lbs) who is getting tired of eating his pescription food and treats. I would like to give him something beneficial and tasty but I am not sure how he would react to the ingredients like nuts. He really likes chinese fortune cookies and every once in a while we will reward him with a small taste.

We have at least 3 power outages in my area during the summer months and I should probably think about getting a generator. What's the minimum wattage I would need or anything you can recommend for a 55 gallon tank.

I have 5 cats and 1 dog. My dog is a yorkie and she absolutely refuses to eat her dog food. It just sits there and goes to waste. I have tried tons and tons of different brands but she refuses. The only thing she will eat is meow mix! She loves it! Is it ok for her to be eating meow mix and nothing else?

stable population?

I recently bought 6 small bags of Daphnia and emptied them into my pond. I saw on a website this is a bad idea as this water is often full of pollution and disease
Don't most reputable pet shops sell their live food in clean water?

Also is it possible to give an idea of how much daphnia is required for a stable breeding population (our pond is 30-40 sq ft)
