Not sure if I heard this right, because I only caught parts of what they said, but this morning on the news they announced, that the majority of Michael Vicks dogs WILL BE SAVED!!! One was too aggressive and had to be put down, but they said, some of the others would be adopted out to new homes and some will be used in Law Enforcement. I just think it would be great if thats true, because it will give these poor dogs, another chance at having a good, happy life, with someone who will properly love and care for them? What do you think?

We have a 1 and a half year old male cat who is neutered that we just adore. Lately we have come to find a small kitten around our neighborhood who we know doesnt have a home. It is a male. Will this work??

She now hides when anyone walks into a room, she wont come up on me anymore. In the shelter she would head butt and nest on me and my 5 year old. now shes like a completely different cat. I know she was found outside and then was in the shelter caged up for 3 months. Is there anything i can do to bring out the sweet girl i know is in there? Ive had her one week.

Why would someone's question appear nine times? Do they lose all those points. When posting a question it just said...We are taking a breather (not that the question would post) So if they continued to try and post the question the lose five points each time. This happened to St. Lady. So now they are saying she used up her limit of questions for the day. WHY???? Has anyone else had this problem. I tried to reach Yahoo but, with this new "upgrade" I cant find out where to ask?

I have 5 white persian kittens I got the mom from a "cattery closeout" (mom was pregnant with them) well all of them came down with ringworm.. apparently the mom is the carrier. (which I know she must have had when I got her)my vet gave me tresaderm drops and Dermazole shampoo.. she said start with this then maybe the oral treatments if that doesnt work then basically she said people do put them to sleep.. I am all upset now. I thought ringworm can be cured. I have looked all over on here and dont see people putting them to sleep because of ringworm. They dont put people to sleep if they have it.. Just looking for any more info I can get on this. thanks.

My tank has been cycling for 2 weeks, though I added too much fish food and it went green, so I did a 30% water change and it's slightly better. There is however a couple of bits of floaty decaying stuff. I've decided I want to change my ornaments, so I'll take them out and clean them, put the new ones in etc, so this will get rid of any decaying stuff that's on the ornaments (currently a large chunk of bogwood and a normal log shaped store bought one) I will add my plants too.

Once this is done, even though my water is still slightly yellow, is it safe to add a few hardy fish (ie mollies)?

Does this seem like a good idea? Any advice would be appreciated :)

For the last 3 years, my cat has crapped everywhere: in addition to inside her litter box, I have found piles on the stairs, next to her litter box, on the bathmat, in closets, under my bed, IN my bed, on doormats, inside the laundry hamper (with freshly laundered clothes), IN my daughters bed. I have tried everything: Yes, I keep the cat box clean-- I even have another one for her. I have even tried to keep her out of certain rooms by closing the doors-- only to find a pile on the stairs. She is 10 years old and I feed her Iams adult dry food-- always have. I have had her for 9 years. I am at my wits end now and I am out of ideas. Is it unethical to have her put to sleep for this? If so, then do you have other suggestions? I love her very much and I don't know what to do.

I live in an open plan house, the only rooms which have doors are the bedrooms and the bathroom. In the night, my cat comes and scratches at my bedroom door all night to be let in. He has now learnt to bang the door as well. I've tried putting Pet Behave spray down, foil outside the door, I ignore him, I shout at him - nothing works. If I let him in he constantly pats my head and meows. I'm getting no sleep. I got three hours last night. Please help!
