I have a one year old male Persian, a very nice looking cat and also a nice temperement. How would I go about finding him a mate?

I do not want another cat I'd just like to keep his line going, I'd probably give away the kittens to the owner of the female. I'm in New York btw.

I am taking care of 3 abandoned kittens (less than 1 week old) I have formula and a bottle from the pet store. Two are doing fine, but one, the runt, doesn't nurse very well, he sucks a little, then turns away and writhes. It seems like he's in pain. Any ideas? Any other advice on taking care of these kittens?

My cat is really awesome looking , she is white fluffy, with green eyes , and very nice slim body.

I started noticing that many male cats in the neighborhood has started stalking her and they also harras my cat and constantly bother her in an attempt to date her.
So far she has rejected all of them. But these male cats are getting increasingly aggressive with her.

So I worry about her as I dont think these male cats know the rule of "No means No" ... I am worried that one of these male cat may try to rape her as she is outside and completely alone at night.
How can I protect my cat from these desperate male cats ??

He was found in a box outside my mothers job still covered in blood from birth. We took the litter home, cleaned them up, began bottle feeding them. For a long time we didn't think they would make it, but they survived!

I kept one, and he doesn't seem to act like most cats. He's now 3 years old and has some odd behaviors and missing behaviors. He sucks on his paw, not enough to hurt the skin, but his black fur is now red there. He has no balance, very clumsy. He doesn't spray (and he isn't fixed), he doesn't purr, and he just acts..well...stupid. He plays well enough, the simple games of hockey and such, but for the most part he just doesn't seem as bright as any cat I've had. Of course the vet wants hundreds of dollars to check out his brain, so I thought I'd try here first.

My 5 month kitten keeps playing with his water, and tips it out of his bowl.
Anyone know anything to help stop this. (Do you get a water holder for cats like that for a hamster etc?)
I'm concerned as he then has no water to drink while I'm at work. I've tried a heavier bowl but he just sticks his paws in and splashes. He's a British Blue and I'm not sure if this is just a breed thing? Thank you all in advance.x

I have Four guppies in a 30 gallon tank, lots of fake plants and big hollow stumps for hiding places. Got a couple other fish in the tank as well.
Now three guppies are all picking on the biggest guppy in the tank. They dont seem to be biting it, But they either take turns or gang up on this one guppy, pushing on its side just infront of its tail fin. At first I thought they where playing but now Im not so sure, cause its only this one fish they are messing with.

I might get a Guenia Pig. I have owned one before, but that was when I was little, and the Guinea Pig was evil. It also squeaked every minute of its life. Here are my questions:
1. If I got a Guinea Pig, would it squeak all the live long day?
2. Would a 20 gallon aquarium be big enough for 1 guinea pig?
3. How much are Guinea Pigs from a shelter or from Petco?
4. Names requested.
Thans for all of your help! I know all about the care and stuff.

What kind of home remedy can I use to put in my dogs' food to keep them from eating their poop? I've seen the stuff that they sell at the clinics and in the pet catalogs, but that stuff is way too expensive for me to feed to 4 dogs! I've got 2 that I can't stop from eating poop and it disgusts me. Any ideas of some kind of concoction I can sprinkle of their food?

I have a 2 year old female tabby. She is spayed and healthy.
Usually she sleeps at night. Untill about 4 am EVERYDAY she starts meowing really loud and non-stop. I get up, give her food but she won't eat. She won't stop it until everybody is up then she goes to sleep. It is really annoying to the point where I am considering giving her up because I can't sleep(and neither can my neighbors) If I lock her anywhere in the house she will claw her way on the carpet and destroy it.
I don't know what to do anymore.The vet said there is nothing wrong with her. Help, anyone???

We all spend a lot of time on here with each other so I'm going to be nosy and ask - what do you do for a living and if you could do anything, what would that be?
I'll go first, TB breeding manager but if I could do anything, either a bloodstock agent or in realms of dreams - pro-showjumper! Now you.....................

Not getting it yet, but it's good to do research now for when I get one in a few years or so.

* Size doesn't matter.
* Obviously it will need some sort of grooming, but I don't want something that needs to be brushed twice a day (1-2 days a week is much better).
* Not a dog that has a really high exercise need.
* Not a species prone to excessive barking.
* Good with small children.

I've had experience with owning a Beagle and a German Shepherd X Border Collie as family pets.

My rabbit wont eat properly, we've tried changing his diet from regular rabbit food to just pellets (as reccommended by our vet), we've tried giving him apple, carrot, hay, freshly cut grass, cucumber, cabbage, dandilions, thistle, parsley, mint, oats, almost everything, and although he eats a little, its just enough to keep him alive. He's lost alot of weight, and he seems to have lost his apppitite for life aswell. He drinks plenty of water, we've been giving him vitimins in that, but he just sits in his cage doing nothing. He's getting weaker and falls over quite alot. We've brought him in the house and tried playing with him in case he was bored and he perks up a little then. He's always cold and so we give him a hot water bottle which he snuggles up to. His backside is filthy, we have to bathe him to clean him up.His teeth are fine. We've taken him to the vet who said that there is nothing obviously wrong with him. He's only a year old and has been like this now for about 2 months

She is a 14yr old black Lab, and has several lumps on her body that appeared as she reached her senior years. Supposetly fatty deposits.

At first we thought it was her coat and skin. We would bathe her but, then realized that it was coming from her mouth.
She does get her teeth cleaned, no food has been changed, and she doesn't chew on anything. She is not on any meds.
Her ears are clean too.

Someone told me it could be cancer. Is this true? Is there a smell when a dog gets sick, internally? Does cancer have a distinct smell?
The smell is horrible and stinks up which ever room she is in.

We used to have a chocolate lab, but she passed away a few years ago, she was the perfect dog!
Now my parents want a smaller dog that dosent shed as much.
Maybe like the size of a beagle or a little bigger.
I would like a golden or lab, so i could play with it without worrying about squashing it whenever i take a step. So if theres a medium breed you know of that kind of has a big dog in a little dogs body, that would be great.

I took my newly adopted kitten to the vet and the poor thing had a bunch of troubles - upper respiratory infection, eye infection, ear mites. The eye infection has cleared up and he is on antibiotics (though still sneezing.) I was just curious about whether the Revolution would kill the ear mites left over after the doctor swabbed his ears or will I need to bring him back to the vet? Will the Revolution also de-worm him?

I just got a siberian husky 3 days ago she is 4months and i still live at home with my parents untill 8 more months. She doesn't act like a puppy because she doesn't chew anything or mess in the house. The problem is that I have to keep her in my room when I'm going to bed because my mom doesn't want her to running around through the house at night by her self because she is still a puppy. At night i will try to sleep and she wines and scratches at the door and she will do this about 10 to 15mins and i want to know how can I make her get use to sleeping in a room with a closed door untill i get my own place? I notic that she wants to play with my moms older dog but he doesn't want to play because he is old if i wanted to get another dog would a German Shepherd or a Dalmatian get along with a husky or would the husky get along with them ? I've been searching the internet and readin books about Siberian Huskys but if anyone wants to share more information that would be great!
thanks!!!
