probably why my male cat is very prone to urinary tract infections and is thirsty all the time. (He's always trying to steal my ice water) So, what kind of canned for should I start feeding my cats? What's the best?

I'd like to have a Jack Dempsey along with a couple other fish, but I don't want have the fish die right away. Neon Tetras would be another preference of mine, but if they need several to school with, I don't want to have only those fish in my tank. I know a Betta would do well but I would rather have something less common. Thanks for your help.

I would only like a male and female. I have heard some dwarfs only get to 3 inches or so. Please supply types that are usually available at most petco's and pets stores.

I just tried a new vet, and I am not sure if he is trying to add in a bunch of extra tests. He was fairly certain that my cat has anxiety before he ever met him, then I found out that in order to test for a uninary tract infection he wanted me to pay for an ultrasound to find my cats bladder, a bacterial test and an entire wellness test in order to make sure every organ in his entire body is functioning properly. Is this normal/necessary?

I have 1 male Convict Chichlid and 2 female Mbuna chichlids in a 30gallon tank with caves and plants. I frequently change and relocate their caves and hiding places. Is this to many fish in my tank, if not can I put anything else in there? Or do I need to upgrade to a bigger tank?

Thanks for the help!

My cat and I love each other - ( BTW I am male , my cat is female) ... we sleep together, she sleeps on top of me and sometimes on the side and we hold hands when we sleep ( my hand her paw)...
But lately we are having fights ... It angers me when my cat does not respond to my calls , also when my cat tries to cheat me .(pretending she has to go to bathroom , instead she wants to go outside to play etc ).. how can we reduce our fights ??
( I guess I am more used to dogs and more used to more obedient pets - this is my first cat)

He has no signs of being sick. His litter is fresh & clean. He has food. He isn't bored, there are other cats & toys to play with.

But he will not stop crying. It's almost constant. He just walks around crying, 7am is the worse because he comes in our room crying, again, for no known reason.

He doesn't seem to want to go outside, he's been indoors his whole life & shows no interest in going out. Even if he did, we are surrounded by large dogs in the neighborhood so I'd have to worry about what would happen to him.

But I'm seriously just my wits end. I love my cats, but I can't find him just walking around, crying, at all hours. Anyone else have a crying cat? If so, any tips? Could he be sick? I hate the idea of going to the vet, spending $500 in test, then being told nothing is wrong.

I'm open to any suggestions, ideas, or expierences. Thanks.

so i raise rats and i'm interested in getting a snake that would be big enough to eat an adult rat. i'm not looking for some burmese python or anything, but a snake that's good for someone who isn't experienced with snakes. if you could also tell me what sized tank it should have also, i'd really appreciate it.

Just wondering, I am not looking to buy a puppy. I was researching breeder ads and saw that some were registered with ACA and wondered what that was.

No, thats not whats for dinner tonight...heh

I was admiring my 29 gallon, which now has crystal clear water after turning the output of my canister all the way open, *more gph i assume* when I saw my female honey gourami, and she had what looks like a bite mark near her fins *the primary moving ones* I netted her, and put her in my 10 gallon, which houses a male guppy, a platy, 2 neons *the other 4 died, and 2 albino corys. I added extra stress coat, and I was going to add some aquarium salt to prevent infection, but I wasnt sure if corys can handle aquarium salt. I was going to add a tonic solution of 1 tbs per ten gallons, so one tablespoon.....advice please!!!

I purchased two kittens aged 9 weeks 2 days ago and they seem to be developing cat flu. They were very lively and playful even though their eyes were watery and they were a bit sneezy. They are eating and drinking well but today I took them to the vet and she said as long as they eat and drink plenty they will overcome it on their own. They were wormed and given Frontline. Now they seem very lethargic and sleepy. Could they have licked the frontline off each other?Will that make them ill? What can I do ?
