I have had this little female stray cat hanging around my yard and yesterday i was feeding her and she actually took food from my hand! So that would be a sign of trust. I have not pet her yet but how do you know if a stray trusts you enough to let you pet it?

My cat Target is 15, and she has always been a very tidy clean cat. but over the last year or so, she has decided my bathmats make a very good second litter box..ugh!
Why is she doing this? There has been no upset in her life like a new pet or anything. I have even replaced the bath mats in BOTH bathrooms, and within about 24 hours, she had 'christened' BOTH of them!
Is there anything I can do to stop her?

I just bought some plants for my tank the other day. I have noticed a snail on one of the plants. What's the deal with snails? Are they good, bad or what? I have a betta in the tank - 10 gallons. Is one snail gonna turn into a bunch of snails? Are they gonna eat my plants? I know nothing of snails. Help me out a little, please.

Is it safe? Can I trust that it will be the same puppy in the picture? Any specific website that has a good reputation for shipping puppies?

I see so many other people's pics of many different birds getting along, but my Senegal wants to eat his parakeet neighbors. Is there any way to encourage a friendship?

I have been around the world, and in some unsavory places. Many of them right here in the good, old U.S. of A. Over the years, I have sometimes asked myself, “What would I do with credible information on a dog fighting ring?”

Luckily, I never had to deal with the question.

Today, another irresponsible professional athlete is making ALL of us face the issue. What do you think should be done, if he is found guilty of the charges?

See my cat started acting funny, and we took him to the vet and they took x-rays and gave him fluids and told us that there may not be anything obstructing his bowel/stomach. Its been a week since we went to the vet, and I haven't seen any poop, he hasn't eaten much in the past week and has lost some weight. How much longer should I wait to take him to the vet?

My friend has a dog (golden retriever) tied up to a tree and they never let it go! They give it a pile of food every morning and a some water. Then they ignore it and never do anything with it! Ex) Never takes it on walks-never plays fetch! Just tied up to a tree the whole day! This is their second dog in 3 years! Their first dog died when it was 2 years old(they did the same thing to that dog) This dog has also gotten aggresive (It wasn't aggresive before they tied it up) I feel bad for the dog!

I've had my tank setup for around five months now and the filter system only been cleaned once. how often should it be clean? I have a Fluval 304 unit.I have a 40 gallon tank. I have... 1 shrimpgoby, 2 pajama cardinal, 2 percula clownfish, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 red general starfish. All of my fishes diet are different, some eat pellet, flake, brine or meaty. I have my tank water change every six weeks by a prof. however I only had my filter system cleaned once. So again how often should I have my filter system cleaned so my fishes can stay healthy.

My cat hisses at every creature other than her and humans and even attacks it. She might even scratch people if they annoy her. Is there anything I can do about it? She's 8 years old. She has always been this way.

He chewed up and ingested what I think is the lid to one of those Gladware-type containers... he's spent the last two or three days vomiting up small piles of it here and there, and today he's having trouble with his stool. I let him into the backyard for his morning break but I didn't watch him, so I'm not sure if he was able to eliminate but his backside is all covered in thin, dark muck and I've seen a few drops of blood. I palpated his belly and didn't feel anything too crazy, and he didn't seem to mind, but then he's usually pretty stoic. He's still retching up a clear, yellowish liquid and foam.

This is our first experience with this so I'm not sure if he needs to see the vet or if I should try home-remedy treatments first? (If so, what? And if this doesn't resolve within a day or so, he's going to the vet anyway.)

He's a neutered four-year-old Golden Retriever.

Thanks!

It is alleged that Michael Vick and his "colleagues" drowned up to 8 dogs for not performing well in their dog fights. Since Michael Vick hasn't been performing the well past few years, how many of you think he should be drowned as well?
