I'm gettin a new kitten and all the rest of my cats have always gone to the bathroom outside as soon as we got them (which was when they were adult cats and already trained to), but I don't want to get a litterbox now just for one cat, when the rest go outside.How can I teach my cat to go to the bathroom outside?

My cats are both 6 months old. Over the last week or so their poo's have been runnier (although I wouldn't call it diohreah, however you spell it). Over the last few days I have been finding bit of poo outside the litter tray that I have to clean up. Also, they don't seem to be cleaning their bottoms properly and they are a bit red. Is there anything wrong with them, should I take them to the vet? Ps They were lasted wormed about 2 months ago, maybe less.

I really want to get a puppy, should i get a teacup poodle (I know its not the origional name) or should I get a yorkie? I have a 12 year old daughter and a little toddler. The 12 year old will be taking care of the dog most of the time so not a real ruff one. PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have a 3 year old Shih-Tzu who is not neutered. We just got a 2 month old Yorkie 2 weeks ago. Shih-Tzu isn't neutered, and the Yorkie is still young. If S-T stays un-neutered, and the Yorkie will not be, do you think there will be problems in the future?

My landlord refuses to patch the hole where they are coming in from. Sometimes I go to 3-4 days before I can catch and release it. (note- I will not kill anything or call anyone that will). I also have a cat, rabbit and bird. The opossum (not a baby, not full grown) does not bother the other animals, and only comes out at night, after we're all in bed. It even snuck up on the bed and smelled the cat, and the cat didnt even know it. I don't know what to do. Can I refuse to pay rent? Call some kind of Health Dept on my landlord? I even feel bad about that because he really helped me out by letting me live here. I even contemplated just keeping it, but after reseraching, I dont' think I Can supply the high demand diet it needs, even thought it will just die on the streets anyway. I also read that they are less of a health risk (on the official possum society page) then cats and dogs. They are also less susceptible to rabies then me and you. So I don't know what to do.

She is an inside cat. I let her out side everyday for the past few days so she could get pregnant. she is now sick and vomiting.
I was told by a vet that cats dont get morning sickness. Its only been 3-4 days that I have been letting her out. Does anyone know why my cat would be sick?

Our neighbors dog continues to run through the fence and attack other dogs. Yesterday he an through and got a dog in my yard and the kids put him back. they went for a bike ride and on the way back the dog ran through after them, he did not bite them, but the kids were scared to death. The other neighbors called the police and the cops want us to get it on video because the owner of the dog says they had no idea, than they said he does not like tires and we know that. It is a public street and they are telling us to not let the kids ride bikes. They are only riding by to go to a friends house. The owners know we have a problem we have talked about it and they continue to be in denial, we have many time gotten the dog off another dog and they had a lady stop by one day and told them the dog came after her. What can we do about this since the owner is totally in denial? Our kids are scared to death to go outside. They told the cops he has not bitten anyone, so we just wait for him to do

I have a 7 year old male long-haired cat that bites the hair off of his back, mainly in the area of the base of the tail. i have noticed a few fleas and have treated him for the fleas but just didn't know if that would be related to him biting his fur off. thanks.

They are right next to the house and you can't walk out on the deck or approach the house without spelling the stench. I have 5 kittens that are now about 5 months old, I have chased them out and picked them up and relocated them when I catch them in there. And a more mature cat I took in who was starving won't even cover it up, just an exposed pile. Disgusting. Is there something I can pour or spray on the areas I don't want them in? Cats I've had in the past have always gone to the further edge of the property.

Whenever my cat plays she starts panting and making noises that sound like she's wheezing or growling silently. She's a grey tabby, 7 months old, we just adopted her a few weeks ago.

I took her to the vet a week ago and he said she's probably getting over a cold but since she doesn't have any other symptoms I shouldn't worry

When she starts doing it I usually stop playing but she's obviously not tired because she'll chase after me and jump on my leg.

And she does it at certain times and not at other times. Example: if she jumps off a chair to chase a toy she'll do it, if she jumps off a chair to go eat then she doesn't do it

Should I keep playing with her when she does this or give her a rest? Does anyone else's cat do this? Should I call the vet (It's hasn't gotten better but it also hasn't gotten any worse)

My cat 'Misty' was diagnosed with Anemia today.
I took him to an emergency Vets last week because his back legs went all wobberly, he fell over and started panting. The vet kept him in over night and said that he was in a critical condition and it looked like he wouldnt make it through the night.... well he did! they kept him in for a few more days then he was allowed home. They were treating him for parasites and he was responding to the tablets. They then took blood tests and the results come through today and it showed he hasn't got Parasites but he has Anemia. The results show he is recovering and that it was caused by Fleas.
He seems really down and is wanting to sleep all the time, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP HIM? WILL HE SURVIVE??? SHOULD I PLAY WITH HIM? WHAT FOOD SHOULD I GIVE HIM?????? HELP!

What is the smallest rabbit out there for a pet? Is it a min-lop? I have been thinking about getting a rabbit but I can't get one that gets to big due to lack of area.
