My new cat Magic, aged 1-2yrs, is going insane inside and looks longingly out of the window. RSPCA general advice is to keep new cats in for 3-4weeks before letting them go out. However she seems really bright and really loves to be near me, but despite lots of toys and playtime etc is clearly bored and would love outside. Is 10 days too short a time to have had her before letting her out?

I have noticed that aussie sheperds seem to do well, any other breeds? I know sometimes a lot depends on the individual dog, and his/ her personality. I have a black lab and as loyal as he is, I could never trust him off leash.

I would love to get some more goldfish and was thinking about one of the big circular bowls. My question is, do goldfish need anything to keep them entertained ie. weeds, little bridges etc. or is each other's company enough?
Also, is it cruel to keep them in a bathroom? (It is a very large bathroom btw so they would be no where near the loo.)

I have a leo who is about 10 months old. Since I moved back into my dorm, he has been acting really mopey. He didn't eat for two weeks, he didn't want to crawl around my arms and explore like he usually does, and when he's on me he lays his head down flat (instead of perking up and looking around), kind of like a sad dog. He's eating now, I switched him to waxworms for a few days, but he's still acting weird.

So on the advice of a friend (who considers himself a reptile expert), a bought a few month old female to keep him company. They seem to be getting along, snuggling in his hiding cave. When I first got him, I got him with another leo, and they used to snuggle and be friends until they got old enough and both starting fighting (they were males), so I gave the other to a friend and he's been alone since Feb.

My question is, did I make the right choice? And what behaviors should I be on the lookout for to determine if this was a bad idea (besides him attacking her)?

I saw my platy this morning......but this evening I couldn't find it anywhere....I checked the decor and my tank.
It did have white spot but I was treating it and the white spot was nearly gone.
Do platies characteristically hide?
Where could it be?
It wasn't small enough for another fish to eat.
What happened?

I cant use any kind of chemical due to the dangers of hurting my parrot. I can't stand the flies that arrive for the hot months. How can I kill them?

I had about 15-20 molly fry. Over the last few days, they are just dying off and I don't know why! They live in a breeders net and are about 1 week- 1.5 weeks old. I feed them 3-4 times a day. They eat crushed up tropical flake food and I break off a little piece of an algae wafer every now and then for them to nibble on. What is wrong? All the adult fish appear fine and healthy. I have only about 7 babies left.

Hi my budgie (4 years old approx.) has an increase in urine (the clear part of the dropping), I removed the veggies from his diet for almost 2 weeks (as they were fairly new since he had been a seed junky), but there was no change, so I gave them back. I had also switched him to bottled water from tap, so I tried changing that back, with no change. He is happy, active, talking, singing, eating well etc. Has this happened to anyone elses budgie, or any idea why this is? Something natural I could try? There isn't an avian vet anywhere remotely close to me, and frankly the vets around here know probably less than me about budgies. Thanks for any advice!

Do you think the race tracks should finance and support the feeble and used up dogs instead of the kennels starving and slaughtering them at the end of their "run"?

if a dog has attacked a lot of people isnt it supossed to be put down? my grandpa was attacked by one this weekend that has attacked before and the owners did nothing about it. it even angered me that they would bring it to a party where there were kids playing! my 9 month old had played with it hours before the attack! the owner told everyone after it happened that it had done it before and even killed 2 of their cats! souldnt it be reported and be forced to put it down before it does it again?

Hi everyone i have a 12 year old staff named 'chuggy' he became unwell yesterday because i caught him eating in my next door neighbours bins because they're to lazy to put them out on the day or keep them locked up.

Well anyway after he got really ill and started acting strange: wasn't eating, eyes drowzy wouldn't go to sleep. I thought it was time.

However this afternoon he was sick a couple of times and he went a crap and that. Then i realised he had blood coming from his anus!! So i called up the vet and told him what happened and he said its gone off food which has gave him bad digestive problems.

Im stuck for what to do, he looks much better now and is drinking water, and his body is fighting back i know it is. He is beginning to get better i can see it.

Should i stay by his side and let his body compensate, because this can be good for future purposes or should i go down the vets and get him a shot of antibiotics or drugs. Which in my opinion he doesn't really need?

We recently found two stray kittens and have decided to adopt them. Both are boys and we want to give them names that "go together". They are tiger striped cuties! Give us some ideas! Thanks!

How did they get in there? I cannot see them when I look at the gravel in the tank, but when I sphyon out water and clean the gravel I see them scooting around like their gliding. They are the same shape as isopod cirolanids but much smaller, and they have a strange browny pattern on the back, which looks like a brown black ground with a lighter brown circles on it's back. I cannot see legs, but seeing as they are so small I cannot say that they haven't.
