Brought home 1-2yr old female from shelter yesterday (same one of the amputated tail question!). Immediately she wants to follow me everywhere, and cried when i didn't let her in the bedroom. When i got up this morning she wouldn't detach herself from my feet for about 15mins. She is v v inquisitive, and used my clothes horse (with clothes on it) as a climbing frame. None of this hiding away for hours for my new cat!! If i stroke her she often turns round and tries to bite (though not v hard), and likes to raise her paw to me, claws out and bat me, though clearly wants to be right beside me. Her body is quite long, but i didn't think overly so, and she has a delicate face. Is she part siamese? Any advice about the crying outside the bedroom, would she be calmer if i let her in (tho not keen on hairy bed), or how best to keep her chilled out? Thanks

My new kitty is a stray, the sweetest male cat in the world, however, he does not use the litterbox! I'm guessing he's so used to being outside that he does not know how to use it.. so he just poos on the carpet or floor whenever he has to go. My mom told me it's almost impossible to teach a cat how to use a litterbox since they're stubborn and usually learn this on their own.. but is there a way to teach him? What do you reccommend? Thanks! :)

After i have cleaned it, when i switch it back on it spits out the large particles that collect on the foam parts. It all comes out of the pipes that connect it to the water. Is there any prevention, after the foam pads it has a polishing pad to collect micro particles so this is another reason why i cant understand it.

in this modern age of environmental awareness, should we recycle our departed pets for cat/dog food? It means, at least, that they give something back to the world that was so kind to them.

So he is urinating more. This has been happening for over a week now. I thought about Diabetis but he is not losing weight. He is in fact overweight (a question that I asked about last week). So if it is not diabetis then what else can it be?

I'm very concerned about my 2 platies. I have had 1 for a week and the other for only 2 days and they are both heavy on the bottom. I tried fishless cycling, but after the tank being set up and running for six weeks, it was only half-way thru the cycling. Petco recommended adding 2 fish, so we did. I bought a test kit and PH, ammonia, and nitrites are high because the tank is cycling. So I did a partial water change, but I think I changed too much because one of the fish died immediately. So we got another fish and now I am afraid to change the water again. Some say change the water during cycling and some say do not. Anyway, my question is there anything I can do for the fish since they are suffering so badly? Can the ammonia and nitrites be reduced while they are in the tank w/o having to do a partial water change? I add aqua safe to the water, no salt, and used stress zyme when fishless cycling first 6 weeks. I hate seeing the fish suffer!

This might be a bit long winded but bear with me - Yesterday I bought two mollies and a siamese fighting fish to add to my 3 month old tank, I already had 2 red rams, 4 platies and 3 leopard catfish in there. I had read a lot online that siamese fighters are fine along with other fish as long as there are no other fighters in there, and the woman in the fish shop told me there would be no problems - but a few hours after adding them to the tank my male ram had destroyed the fighters tail and was absolutely torturing him so I put the ram into a seperate wee tank on his own for a while to let the siamese fighter establish himself, but then the siamese fighter started trying to eat my mollies so I swapped and put him into the tank on his own and let the ram out. Everyone was getting on fine and I left them overnight like this, but I got up this morning and one of my platies is dead! What's going on???? Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do?

White cats are susceptible to cancer of the ear because the fur on the ears is very sparse and sunlight penetrates easily.
My cat, Puss, has already had one ear off about ten years ago, and I believe he may have to have the other removed.
Has anyone else had this problem? He is about 12 and the vet is worried about whether his heart will withstand another operation. We sure do not want to lose him.
I`ve lost a mother, father, two brothers and a son and never shed one tear, but I`m sure I`ll cry my eyes out if anything happens to Puss!

I love cats I just wish I could have more, but living in an apartment there isn't much territory for more than two full grown cats. Kittens are the perfect size to have more than two they just don't stay so small. I've never heard of such a breed but I'm optimistic on hearing about new species.
