A very small kitten has adopted out office for his new home. We have no idea how old it is, only that he is very small. He is eating kitten chow and using a litter box. But the problem is fleas. Most products are so harsh and not safe to use on kittens. Any advise on something safe to use? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We recently bought a puppy from a farm here in Holland. The pups had been living outside in an old chicken run. She was 8 weeks old. When I brought her home she stayed the first two nights downstairs in the living room with my daughter. We then placed her in her kennel outside, and some teddy bears and mats etc so that she wouldn't be lonely. She cried for the first night but after that slept outside perfectly. She now knows that after her walk in the dark, she gets some treats and is tucked in, in her kennel and then the door is locked and the lights turned off. When she hears the key in the lock in the morning she wakes up and wags her tail greeting you. She's brill.
My question is living in Holland our winters are not particularly cold and she as she will be sleeping inour annex outside which is protected from the elements, what would be best for her, a quilt, straw or just a selection of cushions so that she may tunnel underneath them for comfort.

I have no interest in this. It is an academic question. I have a puggle that is very playful. She does aggressive play with other dogs, and cats, and little kids who play tug of war with her. She barks and growls at other dogs then when they come up to her she rolls on her back and licks them. My question is for real dog people (I am not, I just like my puggle but don't know much about dogs) or behaviour scientists. Is vicousness in dogs nature or nurture? Obviously certain breeds are used for fighting because of their physical power and strong jaws. But could Mike Vick and his cousins teach a harmless dog like mine to be vicious enough to engage in fights with other dogs her own size or is it all determined by breeding? Can we do rescues when we find kennels like the Bad Newz Kennel of Michael Vick? If it is all learned behaviour it should be unlearnable. If it is genetic behaviour then it is a much sadder story.

Is it possible for her to have sex without getting pregnant? Like, are there kitty condoms or birth control for cats or something? I'm completely serious! EVERYONE should experience sex at least ONCE in their life, no matter what species they are...

My betta is in a 5 gallon tank. He was in a smaller bowl before, and I didnt want the transition from his bowl water, to a tank with clean water to be too rough, so I put about half of his "dirty" water in the new tank. It was clear in his bowl, but its cloudy in the tank, is it just settling? or should I empty the tank half way and add all new water?

I feed him those betta pellets from the pet store. He gets fed twice a day. about how many pellets should he get? I give him about 5 or 6 each time. I dont want to over feed him but I dont want to underfeed him either. If he eats them fast, I add a couple more. Is that okay?

His tank is on my dresser and theres a big mirror behind it. I know they hate other bettas so will seeing the betta in the mirror constantly, drive him nuts? Should I put something behind his tank so he cant see the mirror?

finally, the tank has a light. should I use it during the day, or will it annoy him? I dont want to freak him out.
