I need to get my cat fixed and we are going to get her de-clawed. How old does she need to be to get fixed? And other than her not having claws can being de-clawed affect her negatively? She is a strictly indoor cat. She is only about 10-12 weeks old.

I treated my cat for fleas with Advantage yesterday, and it's been 24 hours and he's still grooming and biting. it's to a much lesser extent, but he's still doing it. How do I know that the advantage is working or not? How long will it take for him to stop grooming and biting?

I cleaned my fish tank yesterday and it was sparkling. Now today it's cloudy again. I just got the fish 2 days ago so could it be that they are scared and pooping everywhere 'cause it's a new place? Or do I just have to clean it more than every wednesday or thursday? PLEASE HELP!

Yeah, it may sound like a stupid question, sorry. I don't usually use it, and it doesn't say on the can. Does it need to be kept in the fridge?

If and when I do buy Fish, it's on a Thursday and we get the fish as a last minute thing and only have a 30 minute drive. And we get back it's pretty late. So would it be ok to float the bag in the tank over night? And release them in the morning? And how much water do u release. I usually do the whole bag.

I see a lot of questions about "what's your favorite breed?" or "what dog is the cutest?", but rarely does anyone say WHY their breed is a good fit for them. (I also see frequently people recommending breeds like springer spaniels for apartments, and other breeds that would not be good fits for the askers' situations/needs.)

So I ask:

- Have the majority of people on here just picked out a dog because it was cute?

- Or did you research to find out what breed was the best fit for you based on size, temperament, grooming, exercise requirements, activity level, possible health issues, etc.?

While cleaning cages yesterday for a shelter (I volunteer) one little kitten took a chunk out of my thumb.
I have never been bit to this degree! Most cats will scratch and give little warning nips, but that is it!
Anyway, the bite didn't require stitches, but I was told I should go to the Dr for a tetanus shot and antibiotics...is this true?
The cat is up to date on all HER shots.

Someone I know has a rainbow lorikeet.

She plays a game with it where she holds its beak, it yanks its head down playfully and she says, "Got your beak!" The lorikeet says it too.

My friend claims that a few times recently, just from watching her do what I wrote above, the lorikeet has run up to her mouth, gently bit her lips then yanks his head down and says, "Got your beak!"

Is that even possible? Do parrots mimic in that way? How does he associate a human mouth as being the 'beak'?

Right, at the moment i have a male betta. 3 females are on their way and i should have them by the end of next week. I have 2 spare bowls that i think they could breed in. One is 5litres and one is 10litres. I want to know how to tell when they are ready to breed, the best way to set the tanks up. Which tank size is best and how many females to put in with the male.

PS both tanks are without heaters or filters. Would adding a swan mussel in there help as i wont use filters?

Hi,
I have a 29 gallon that I posted on criagslist.com that I was looking for some community fish for it. I have got 2 responses for guppies, though the guppies are too young to identify the sex yet they said. So my question is how many guppies can I put in there? It has 55 gallon filtration and we would like to have a few other fish with them, like 4 panda cories and a bristlenose pleco or 3 otocinclus. The tank has been running for over a year, we recently rehomed some goldfish that were in it. To add on to my question, should I only get males or can I do a mixture? I don't want to overpopulate it. Also, how old do guppies need to be before you can sex them?
Thanks!!! :)
