Is culling ferral cats the best solution? Some organizations actually capture them, sterilize them and release them--is this more effective? Or should they just be left to nature? I am asking for research purposes.

I really don't understand why I keep getting turned down for these doggie rescue adoptions. I answer honestly and have had lots of experience taking care of and training dogs. I don't have a certificate in it, but I've been told that I've raised very obedient dogs.

Yet, I've been turned down so many times, it's frustrating. Almost to the point that I want to go buy from a store or breeder just so I can finally have a canine companion.

I'm looking for a weimaraner.

Its because she wants feeding I imagine - but I already give her her daily allowance - every 12 hours - so (theoretically) she shouldn't be hungry. I feed her at 7 in the morning and then 7 at night but when she hassles me (and bites sometimes) I sometimes give in and give her a snack at 5ish. I started shutting her out if its too early - but she just scratches and bangs the door.

My cousins cat is sick, he has a runny nose, yucky eye and can hardly breath through his nose. He wont eat or drink, and had a lil blood when he gagged up some medicine. He is also peeing where he lays. No vets are open, so does anyone know what is wrong????

He is VERY fat..he weighs about 16 pounds. I think it is really cute but I know he needs to loose weight. He will throw up occasionaly and I think it is because he eats when he is bored, not realizing he isnt hungry. I cant feed him certain amounts a day because my other cat (she is a regular weight) will refuse to eat if her food isnt there 24/7.

Why is my cat throwing up all the time? He will do it probably once every two weeks for about two months then he will stop for about 5 months. (total guess)

So the kids at home are in mourning... especially after my cousin, Pam, went home telling everyone she volunteered to bring a pet to school! She ended up having to choose between Mirmle (Jenny's 3-day old kitten), Johnny (Jenny's brother turned widower) or one of our pups. Which do u think she will bring?

I'm watching my cat sleep and thinking of how we met.
It was a little before Thanksgiving time last year and the fall was being kind to me. I was, unknowingly, beginning my battle with generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Constantly in a state of fear and sleep-deprivation, I tried to occupy my mind with things like tv, alcohol, the internet--but to no avail.
After a sleet-filled drive home from the thanksgiving weekend, I trudged up the shadowy and unlit stairs to my apartment. Approaching the door, I noticed an odd lump on my doorstep. Mistaking it for a neighbor's litter or a dropped shirt, I was about to kick it away when something went "Mee...
...The vet said she was one of the smallest weaned kittens she's ever seen and would have surely died that icy night. After taking her home, I noticed that for the first time in a long time, the anxiety wasn't there.
The fear still comes and goes, but I'm convinced that I needed to find her more than she needed me to find her.

Now that I just had the male fixed and recieved all his shots, the female is hissing at him, growling and you know and I don't know what to do. She's been doing this all day and all night. Will she ever get over it. My poor male kitty don't understand why she's being so mean. And she's about to be fixed within a week. She's had all her shots though. Help!

My black lab Sasha, is getting euthanized tomorrow. She is 17 years old, and her hips are rubbing bone on bone so bad she can no longer walk well. She has been my dog since I was a little girl, and I love her so much. I can't bear to have my beautiful girl hurt anymore.
My question is, what will she feel? Will she know what's happening? Will she panic? What will it feel like for her?
I'm really not trying to be morbid. I just can't bear to think, she will realize, I brought her on her beloved last car ride to kill her.
Should I have her sedated first? or tranquilized?
What if I can't bear to give the vet the go ahead?
Sorry to ramble, but right now I am crying my eyes out, snuggling my Sasha for the last night.
God, this is just horrible!!!
Any help will be wonderful.

Sometimes, I come to know chidren falling ill after consuming food in which a lizard has fallen. I hear people saying that such children fell ill for other reasons than the falling of the lizard as this animal does not have any poison. I am baffled.

On two seperate occasions (about a two months apart) my cat was acting extremely weird. She started walking sideways, kinda drunken like, and then she puked on the floor. Now her throwing up is nothing new. Between my two cats, I clean up cat vomit from the floor about twice a week. There's nothing wrong with them, they're just little piggies. But the stumbling thing is freaking me out a bit. She seems perfectly fine afterward and there has been no other health changes. I read on the internet somethings cats act that way due to flea medications, but she hasn't been treated for fleas in three months, so that can't be it. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
