I adopted a kitty about 6 months ago. He has been the apple of me & my fiances eye ever since. he is the biggest cuddle & love bug i have ever met. Love to sleep with us and just be cuddly.

About a month ago we introduced him to a Chi we got. The cat is bigger than the dog, and i can tell he is NOT happy he is here. They play around sometimes, but more often than not, the cat is terrorizing the dog..biting him, chasing him, getting him into a corner.

My dog is away overnight at the vet getting fixed and there has been a HUGE turn around in my kittys behavior! Hes so sweet again and relaxed and he hasnt left my side since i got home. I am sad to see the cat is so stressed about this new-comer.. it does not seem like our kitty is going to let up on giving this dog a hard time

Should we try and find the dog a new home ?

Or should we keep them both and just deal with our cats new behavior?

I have a close contact saddle that my dad bought for me when I was younger. The tag under the flap says SWS Co. Hartford England and then the year (which I don't remember) I tried to Google the name of the saddle but have not found any information on it. Please if you know of a website or have heard of this brand, send me the info on it. Thank you!

I have 4 Bettas, all separated. 2 are in a double tank w/ a divider so they can't see each other. And one of them keeps trying to jump out of his side of the tank. Once he jumped out while we were cleaning his tank and landed on the floor.
Any suggestions?

So my little bengal went in to get spayed yesterday.
My vet called me to come get her just after noon because she wouldn't settle down in the cage and was being really destructive, she was worried she'd her herself.

before she shaved her belly she felt a bump or something, but went ahead.. when she opened her up she said there were enlarged lymph nodes or something like that. she didn't want to take a sample because Roxy is still pretty small and she didn't want her to bleed. She checked her intestines and they're okay. she said once she's healed, we'll get some virus checks and what not.

my question is.... has anyone ever experienced this before? i'm not really even sure what they are, but she said it could be Irritable bowel syndrome (as we've been having a lot of problems with poop since day one)
what are other possibilities? if it were leukemia would i notice signs already?
she's still gaining weight, eating, and her poop is a lot better too! no idea..
thanks everyone!!

belgian malinois dogs are not popular in my country because german shepherds is much more recognized. i have seen a couple of belgian mainois dogs being used in police works. not that much as a family pet in my country.
is it a good watch dog and a guard dog in your house?

thank you in advance for the people
who will contribute their knowledge in my query.
Gracias..

My cousin swears cows don't get to the weight of half a ton. But, and I'm going by my memory, but at the Michigan State Fair about 10-11 years ago, I witnessed the birth of a calf about 400 lbs (I think it was that weight) from a cow that weighed 1,000 lb (that weight I am positive of). Am I going crazy? Please tell me my cousin is wrong. Thank you, Dee

I was told years ago by a friend of mine that if you give Alka Seltzer to a canine it tear up its inside. Here at work we were discussing about pooches eating the wrong stuff like chicken bones and such. I was told before that will kill seagulls, never seen it but I heard that numerous times. But about a canine, no one at works seems to know or heard of.

Is that true?

Since Yahoo Answers has no 'amphibian' section, I'll ask the friendly fish folk :)
I've read up on Axolotls and, frankly, I think they're fantastic. So, Axolotl owners, please give me some personal wisdom about these little fellas. Anything I should know that's not in the books? Foibles? Quirks?
Thanks in advance!

I am currently cycling a 20 gallon tank (fishless) to become the new home for one of three goldfish that live in my 30 gallon tank. I am debating which goldfish to move into the new tank once it is ready. I was going to move the "bully" of the tank in since he is the biggest and tend to nip on the others. However, I was also thinking about putting the smallest in the tank by himself since the others put up with the bully well and I thought that he could use the extra food etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

I dont see what is so wrong!!!
Im not talking about these back street breeders who do it for financial gain, im talking about genuine people who want to see the best brought out in their breed
I know that when my ***** is old enough and providing she is healthy with no defects i would def consider breeding her!
I just can understand why some people are so rude to others about this subject.

Im moving into a pet friendly apartment in a week. Right now the apartment I live in is NOT pet friendly. I just bought a new puppy and the pet store will only hold her until today.(I know, I know I shouldn't have bought her from a pet store) Anyways, do you think that it will be ok to sneak her into my apartment until moving day comes. She doesn't seem to be a barker.

I will be away for a 10-day visit, and I couldn't find anybody to look after my one-year-old female cat. Also her veterinary told me that she will be staying in her cage for 10-days if I choose to leave her to him:( I really don't want to put my cat on such a trouble because she is a very independent cat, and also highly emotional! Another choice is to leave her at home with a sufficient amount of food and water and let her walk through all the rooms and balcony. But again, I am worried if she can make it for such a long time!? And if she fells left alone and get depressed? What do you think?What is the best among these choices?

I know that I want a nice mix of small schooling fish and some larger fish. I want to know if I should start with adding the smaller fish, then move on to bigger fish later, or vice versa. Also any suggestions y'all may have on varying size fish that should live fairly peacefully together? I love the neon tetras for my little fish, or maybe some mollies and red wags and have thought about kissers or some dwarf gouramis for my larger fish, but read conflicting info on temperment. Any suggestions, words of wisdom?

Again, I have a 40 gal freshwater, running empty for almost a month, levels all reading in recommended range. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
