Our cat Turkey is a good cat, but has always been neurotic. He would often throw up when nervous. He was pretty happy in our new house until I got pregnant and had a baby. Now the baby is a year old and all of a sudden, Turkey is spraying and peeing everywhere! He was neutered as a kitten. I know the baby being noisy and trying to grab him, and less attention from us is probably the cause. Can you really stop a cat from spraying once he starts? whats the best way to clean it? I have natures miracle. thanks

I ask this because it seems that almost everyone that writes on another horse forum that I belong to has an abused horse with 'problems'.

It seems that if the horse doesn't like its ears touched, they were 'eared' and don't you know with pliers too!!

It seems that if the horse was head shy, it was twitched or beaten severly about the head .

It seems that if the horse turns its butt to you, its being defensive because it was beaten and whipped.

It seems that if the horse runs from you and is hard to catch, its because it was treated severely.

I'm just curious for those that have 'abused' horses, how did you come to terms that it was abuse and what makes you think so?

How do you know its abuse vs vices from improper training or getting away with things from ppl who didn't know better?

Thanks!!

We found a stray cat living under our deck. I started feeding her, got her medicine for deworming and she has stayed. Noticed she was quite fat & yes, I now have 6 kittens. I have NEVER owned a cat. I had put a box with towels out for her and hid it but she didnt have them there. She chose to have them on my upper deck by my bedroom slider door inside of our grill cover that had been taken off the grill. She will not move them. I'm afraid its too hot for her babies on the deck. I did put a table over them to shade them and anchored it down in case it gets windy. I moved her box - its more like a dog crate with vents and no door - to the upper deck and put her food and water in it with towels. She will eat in there but not put the babies in there. I moved them once and she put them back. Do I leave them there and will she move them if they are getting extremely hot? I'm worried about them. Also, when can i take her to the vet to make sure this doesnt happen again?!

The only vet clinic in my county does not treat rats and my parents won't take her to another clinic until next month. I have read in some places that I can use bird lice spray, so I did, but I am worried about her. She is very small still, only about 5 inches long all together including tail. If I shouldn't have used the lice spray on her will it hurt her and what else can I do for her until next month, the lice seem to irritate her badly. She hasn't reacted to the lice spray yet.

So I'm getting a Malamute puppy next month. He'll be 8 weeks old when I get him. Will he get along with my 2 cats? My cats are male, fixed, and very unagressive. They're lazy and just sit around all day. I plan on giving my puppy plenty of exercise and devoting plenty of time to training him. Just wanted to see what anyone else thinks. Thanks!

I bought one Dojo loach from the lfs and the very next day it was completely missing from the tank. I checked the floor around the tank and also checked the filters. I pulled all the plants and rocks from the subtrate and ran my fingers all throughout the sand subtrate, no alive loach and no dead loach. I then bought another Dojo Loach from the lfs, he was acting funny (laying on its back, laying on its side, not afraid of me getting my hands around him or even holding him inside the water) and then he also disappeared completely from the tank. Again, I checked the ground around the tank, the subtrate, the filters...

The loaches were both about 3 inches long so I doubt they could have been consumed by my other community fish over night. I have platies, guppies, mollies, danios, gouramis, snails, cory's, and one pleco. All are one inch and under.

Any suggestions as to where these loaches are disappearing to would be helpful...

My cat throws up his food sometimes. He used to have a hernia but that was fixed. The incidents diminished quickly when Mom gave him hairball preventing goo but the weird thing is- he dosen't have long hair or clean himself often enough to give himself hairballs! And he's never hairball hacked! I'm only 10 so I still have to do what Mom says-
she's not worried about my little boy kitty. I know this may be a false alarm, but I'm worried about Toby! (the cat.)
