Soo I just got my cat back a few days ago....and I have NEVER ever seen any ashes at all human or animal. I guess I just expected them to be more ashy...? Instead they are like ashes but have some like little rock pieces in them. Is this normal...?

When I go to my neighbors both of their large Golden Retrievers jump on us. One stops after a few times but the other continues. They only tell it to stop once.

My 2 year old cat loves catnip. Afterwards though, he is mean as a snake. So, he rarely gets it. But, does anyone have any idea why it has such an adverse affect on him. My other cat has no ill affects afterwards.

i know the smell is coming from his behind,but I dont know why. I clean him back there and it helps for a while,but the smell seems to bother him too. He will cleans himself,then the floor where he was at. Could his anal gland be swollen and maybe leaking or something. I know its gross,but Im kinda worried and the vet is closed until monday

I adopted two 6 week old kittens from the shelter 2 weeks ago. The boy started off at 1.8 pounds and is now up to 2.2 pounds. The girl started off at 1.4 pounds and when weighed today she was 1.2 pounds! My husband noticed the boy growling at the girl when there was little food left in their bowls, their bowls are split up and they are both fed twice a day. They were dewormed in the week before they were adopted and are due to go back to the vet next week. She is so small and the kittens play pretty well together but now that the boy has so much weight on him I am concerned about him hurting her. They are eating wet kitten food a can in the morning and at night I give them half a wet can a piece and some dry food mixed. He pigs out and she nibbles. I take him away from her bowl if I see him going to it. What other strategies should I use? Or might it be a worm? What are the signs and symptoms of worms? Sorry so winded...

I have a five month old cat, and right now, she's miserable from the heat. She'll only sleep on the tile or linoleum floors, or where ever there is a cool place to sleep. She is an indoor cat, and a longhaired one to boot. I only want to do this for summer, but since it's nearly over, I wonder if I should bother.

What's y'alls opinion?

We rescued an abandoned kitten (he is neutered - approximately 5-6mos. old now). He acts psychotic whenever he smells food or if there is prospect of him eating. You would think he was being starved! He climbs in the sink right while we are cleaning the table to lick the dirty dishes. When we open his food - he actually goes nuts! Help!

I feel if i am not there when they do it, I would remember him alive and I think it might be easier for me. Then I never see him dead. I am struggling with this and I need to make a choice soon. Thanks

I'm trying to find a puppy breed that is cute,small,rounded snout not pointed,and dosn't shed to much. (preferably not a "bad dog" like a pitpull or rotwieller). I'd appreciate pictures but a name of the breed will do just fine. Thankyou for your suggestions.

I have 2 cats, the newest is a purebreed kitten which I paid a lot of money for. I've had him for a couple months now and I just don't like him. My other cat despises him and I think that is influencing my feelings toward the new one because I hardly see her anymore and I love her dearly. I've followed all the rules on introducing kittens to existing cats that are available on the internet but she still wants nothing to do with him.

I've owned cats for many years and have loved them to death. I've fostered litters of kittens and found homes for them. I'm a volunteer at a local shelter. I'm really not a bad person but I feel awful about the way I feel about this cat. And I think it is affecting how I treat him although I try to give him plenty of attention. Someone told me that a cat can tell when you don't like him and I think this is probably true, but I just can't help how I feel.

What should I do? Please don't be mean. I feel horrible already.

Okay im sick of people telling me not to buy a dog from a pet store, i know about the puppy mills. but some places allows u to meet with the breeders and stuff, so don't start about the puppy mills and stuff, im a worker at a local shelter and i know all about them, i can't adopt a big dog cuz i don't have the room, and most dogs that do come into the sheltters are mostly big, and they would end up right back in there cuz i can't take care of them, so a small dog is perfect,
petfinder is pretty cool cut its hard finding a dog and like trying to get it specially when u want to know the personality of the dog, and the overall physical being,
so i would greatly be thank ful.
if anyone knows a place in longisland new york, or flushing queens that is a trustable place.
thnx,
I KNOW ABOUT THE MILLS, =)
