Pets - 15 August 2007

Hi

I have two one year old female calico cats. Their names are Persephone and Calliope. We had Perseph first, and then got Callie. They had little spats at first but became very very close eventually. Close to the point where Perseph was very mothering to Callie. Even dry nursing her.

Now Perspeh is pregnant (our choice, not an accident) and she's due to have her litter in about 3 weeks.

We are wondering if someone - cat breeder, perhaps, can offer advice on how to handle the relationship between the two older cats. Perseph is still the more serious 'mothering' type toward Callie, and Callie is very silly and playful. Will Callie be jealous? Should we keep them separate, although we worry they will miss each other? Should we keep Callie away from Perseph's kittens?

Thanks!

we changed to a different brand then normal, slowly introducing the new brand-the way you're supposed too... and now we're wanting to switch back cause all she does is vomit....but even though the food is mostly the "old" brand, she's still vomiting.

why could this be? any suggestions?

I have a new pup and his name is going to be "Quagmire" do you think that I can raise this pup into being a nice dog and defeat the reputation of what Pitt Bulls are known for (thereby people won't get scared to come over my house)?

do you have any tips? By the way I am a nice, caring and loving owner who believes in friendly dogs.

I bought my royal python 5 days ago (2mnths old), placed him in his new home and seemed quite content and adventerus. since then he hasnt come out of his hide and doesnt seem to be doing anything other than sitting under his rock. I have feed him 2 days ago no trouble there. will he eventually come out on his own accord or have i done something wrong. obviously i would like more contact with him but note sure how to proceed.?

Our 2 year old cat is showing 3x the amount of white on the bottom of her eye then normal. I was wondering what has caused this. My stepmom won't take her to the vet unless she is not eating or acting strang. She is still playing with the kitten, using the litter box, etc.
Please help!!!!!
Thanks

I had 2 cats. I sadly had to let one go because she would not stop peeing all over(my ex GF took her). I tried everything to get her to stop,had her the vets twice. So, I had to let her go.

Thing is, its been about 5 weeks since the other cat was here and the lone cat I have is driving me crazy. She just been nuts. I know she needs a friend. I'm moving in about a month so obviously I'm going to wait till I'm moved but I'm debating if a kitten or a full grown cat is better. I'm scared my cat will get jelious of a kitten but I'm also scared that a full grown cat will fight with my current one. Not sure what to do.

my papillon puppy is about 6th months old now. after a few weeks she would sleep fine downstairs in her superyard (u kno the ones for toddlers) and its cozy and she'd only whine for a second or two once we leave. but on saturday we got her spayed. the first night she had to wear the collar so she wouldnt mess with her stitiches but she slept bc she was tired out, the same with the second night but she kept whining so loud my mom had to go down there bc it was late and the neighbors could hear. last night we had her wear a shirt (she doesnt mind those) that cover her stitches unallowing her to pull them out. and usually that wouldnt bother her but tonight it did my mom had to stay downstairs but she stayed in her superyard and would wake up and cry whenever my mom tried to leave. i dont understand why she whines now but she didnt before. how can i get my puppy to stop whining?
