After careful thought we have decided to add a cat to our household...the only problem is that the landlord will only accept adult cats. We would like to adopt from the local animal shelter and while I am not at all opposed to adopting an adult cat (and will if we find the right one) I feel (as does the vet i consulted with) that a younger cat may adapt to life with a young child better. So my question is: At what age could a kitten pass for a small cat? SIx months? Older? Younger? Thanks for your thought!

After my puppy recovers from parvo is there anything I can use to kill the virus where he has had an accident on my carpet without bleaching the color out of the carpet it is brand new? How often do I need to disinfect my property before it is considered safe for him? Does color safe bleach kill the virus as well as regular bleach?

He had a stroke a 1-1/2 years ago, and has been in a nursing home ever since. His wife and him are divorcing...and once it is final he can move up here.

He has the is Sheltie that he picked out and bought...but since he has been in the nursing home...he has only seen her twice. He has been really demanding about this issue. He wants the dog above anything else!

The wife took the dog out of state and knowing her...she won't return....

How do I break this man's heart? Should I wait until I know for sure...the attorney said that she hasn't responded to this request...and most likely won't!

What do I do?

My guppie as this dark stuff by the end of her tail. But looking at her other babys they have it too. I know that she was in with a male about a month ago. But he was only 3 or 4 months old and I am not sure if he got to her or not. I noticed she is fat. But she has all of the color in her tail if that means anything. If someone could answer this ASAP I would really appriceate it. We are going on vacation for a week and there is a filter in with the female. If she is pregnant and she gives birth, the filter or my fish will surely get the babys. What should I do? I will try to get pics if I can. My computer at home is down.

When they play down on the floor my German Shepherd tries it. I put him in the basement right away, but it doesn't seem to stop him. Any dog experts here?

I noticed a week ago that there was blood at the bottom of the cage and on his wing. I assumed he had a night scare. But recently his wing has deteriorated, and I am wondering if he is diseased. I'm not very knowledgeable about cockatiels, and would be very grateful for any information. Here are the pictures:

I don't know what the kitten looks like yet, I'm just trying to find cute names, that will go with all kittens. Like choo-choo and stuff. Thanks!

I've had a kitten (male) for about 2 weeks and still haven't given him a name. We have another cat who's name is Winston, and his brother and sister (who live with my cousin) are named Pumy and Gia. It'd be nice if the names corresponded. It's hard because if I decide on a name, my mom or brother doesn't like it. Here are some names that we don't want: (we tried these, but they didn't work)

Liam, Leo, Charlie, Frankie, Eli, Baby, churchill, stuey, sammy

Thanks!

P.S. We're not really into names like mittens, blackie, etc.

....run in circles,scream & shout."

Obviously written before PC's were so numerous.
Now,it's "DON'T call the vet.or the airline or the groomer or the breeder.....ask the equally ignorant total strangers on-line!".

Anybody else noticed this?
Doesn't anybody have a phonebook anymore?

I know most of the cats in my community, and I've never seen this one before. It came to our door a few days ago and invited itself in, just looked around. My grandma wouldn't have it stay overnight, but it's come back several times. It's a beautiful cat, big but very skinny with matted fur. No identification. It doesn't seem to be a stray because it's very friendly, but we're not sure what to do because it seems sick. It has trouble eating, and prefers to be fed. We don't have a cat, or cat food, so we've been giving it small chunks of meat. It has been drinking a lot of water, working its mouth and licking it, and twitching its tail irritatedly. It seems to have trouble laying down, and sort of sidesteps before flopping over. It doesn't mind being picked up but did kind of moan. Do you think it might be something serious? If so, what should we do?
