I found a kitten and bought it home with me.He's very active,which i don't mind but he(moses) attacks my feet and hands. I distract him with toys and play but he continues to go after my feet and hands. He also climbs up my screen windows. what else can I do to cut out these behaviors?

Ok so I have one indoor cat. I have an automatic litter box but have quit using it because it doesnt really work, so now I just scoop it. I scoop it at least once daily and put that powder stuff you can buy to "freshen" the smell. However, everytime I come home... my room stinks to high heavens. I dont get it, I scoop it all the time! Are there anythings I can do??

Hi! so my cat just had kittens and shes been acting kind of weird biting herself and hissing and we just found a flea! Is it okay for her to wear her flea collar while shes nursing her young??? or should we seek a vet to deal with our little flea problem? also does this mean the kittens have fleas?

So I just got a dog. Took it to the vet and got it checked out. He's two months (or so) and in good health. He has worms though. Dr gave him first rabbies shot and some oral med for deworming. She sadi not to give him any over the counter dewormers.
Now there are worms (tiny) falling outta my dogs butt, do I take him back to the vet??? What the heck!!!

At first I suspected worms, but her weight is increasing. She never used to be a greedy cat when it comes to food, and all of a sudden she eats probably twice as much as usual. She isn't pregnant because we don't let her outside. She has this big, soft, saggy belly now.
Her attitude hasn't changed at all, still playful as ever, her skin/fur/eyes/nose all look fine. I don't know why she won't stop eating!
She is about a year, a little over. Any idea what's wrong with her?

I've already decided since the urine has already dried to put the cushion in the tub with warm water, but what do i add to the water to remove the urine odor?
Does walmart carry a special cleaner for this that actually takes urine odors out?

Ok. I have a 13 month old male, steralised German Shepherd x Border Collie. He has a gorgeous nature (loving, playful, affectionate), but mega behavioural problems. He can't or won't housetrain (we've done everything), he jumps, paws you, barks constantly, destroys anything he can get to, digs, and is totally restless and unable to settle.
He doesn't growl or show aggression at home, but when we take him out anywhere he just constantly barks and the vet is fairly sure it's anxiety or nervous barking. She thinks he may need to go on some Prozac or something and have behaviour therapy. Also, most of his littermates were rehomed, and his mother was euthanised due to aggression. Most of his littermates weren't aggressive though, just destructive.
We've got a full assessment booked in 10 days time, and a consultation with the behaviour specialist but does anyone think he can be retrained? I really don't want to have him put down?! Thanks.

I just stare at my Boxer until she gets pissed. It's funny and sometimes I mimic her and she does it back to me. Then she makes funny sounds until I stop.

I want a lizard but don't know what to get. I don't want something that gets large or needs a gigantic terrarium (bigger than a 35 gallon aquarium is a little too big). I would definitely prefer a diurnal lizard, since they are active during the day, but i will settle for something nocturnal. Mostly i just want an entertaining and interesting lizard.

I was thinking about some sort of gecko (such as a crested gecko) or a green anole. Are these good? Any other suggestions?

Thanx for any help!

So my problem is that my whole backyard is infested with ticks. Before, my father took care of this, but now he's gone, my mom's raising two kids, a house, bills, and bad habits of her own that she has to take care of.

Today, I found that one of my dogs was COVERED, and I mean there was no fur where they a were, in ticks! On her ears and the top of her head, especially.

Well, I talked to my mother, and all she did was stress out and asked to let her go in the night. Please be considerate; she's a simple woman and Asian. There were many stray dogs when she was a child.

Anywho, I didn't want to do anything so rash like to just let her loose. So I said that I wanted to take her to the humane society, and then she brought up that we might get into trouble with animal abuse.

The ticks has never gotten this bad before. And I've tried Frontline, and it doesn't really work.

Could I take it to the humane society and say I found her?

It's horrible, but my mom won't do anything else.

I hate that a bunch of different dog breeds are lumped into one category, and called 'pit bulls.' And it isn't a very defined term either. It includes the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier for sure. But some people also include the American Bulldog, Bull Terrier, and Miniature Bull Terrier. And some people also include any other dog breed who might resemble a 'pit bull' or any mixed breed who looks like a 'pit bull.' So it is subjective. I think it creates a lot of confusion. I often refer to my American Pit Bull Terrier as a Pit Bull because it is easier for me, and Pit Bull is actually in the breed name, and it is not in the others.

When you hear the word "pit bull" what do you think of? And do you think that the term causes confusion?
