My 10 year old neutered male cat won't stop peeing around the house!! He doens't go in his litterbox (which is cleaned daily) but he'll go poop in it.We also have 1 dog who he's never had a problem with.(no other pets)

Here's a list of the things we've tried to get him to stop:
-double sided tape
-baking soda/viniger were he pees
-tin foil
-putting something in the way of where he wants to pee (someitmes works)
-it's not the kitty litter or box. he started this habit about a year ago and we've had him for 10 years and he's never had a problem with it.

Health::
-We've had him tested at the vets for leukimia, crystals, and other respitory diseases.The numerous tests all came out negative
-he's an indoor cat!

PLEASE HELP! My mom says we have to put him down if he doesn't stop!!!also none of those nature's miracle sprays or anything work!

My mom said I can get a dog, but I don't know what name to give it. We are gonna adopt a male puppy. Also, what breed are these dogs and do they interact with a mixed dog such as a German Shepard and a Dover man?

my new cat- Lola. just tested positive for feline luekemia virus. we have had her here in our home with our older resident cat since july. she was tested before i adopted her for feline luekemia and came up negative. well she just tested positive. im worried about my older cat, Cheyenne. she is 12 and doesnt seem to be sick, but i read luekemia can hide. Lola and Cheyenne have been in contact since july 2007. and now lola has the luekemia. what can i do here? we are waiting on the test on cheyenne if its positive or negative. the vet said many older cats immune systems will fight off the virus, where as lola was born with it apparently and even gave it to her kittens. im worried about cheyenne. we dont want to get rid of lola b/c she will probably be put down. but what do i do to keep cheyenne from getting sick? she has shown no signs.... imso lost... if anyone has experience with this please help thankyou

I was just wandering if there are any places that will put a cat down for free. Or for under 10 dollars. Or at lease a place where they will look at her for free. Thanks...

My dog is a LhasaPoo, his mom was totally white and dad totally black. OK his dad was actually LhasaPOo and his mom Lhasa Apso, so he's more LhasaApso. He's 7-months and is housed outside in our backyard - plenty of food(Iams)water, and room to excersize. But his fur is turning grey/white in certain patches and it looks so ugly! (No offense, Bubba lol) Ok this is the scary part; for the past like three months it's been this way!
half (front half) his back is curly and short, other half (the back half) is long and wavy.. THen in the middle there's a small patch of straight hair that parts in the middle like LhasaApso! Is it possible for him to have variations of fur colors and length and etc all his life? Or is this just a "puppy phaze" even though it's been going on for 3 months?
PS - please ask/answer according to my Q, not whether I'm doing the "right thing" keeping him outside.
(We're working on potty-training him right now, so please no more "YOU ANIMAL ABUSER YOU") TYA

The lady we bought our dog from told us he's pretty rare, as did some people that work at a vet.
I went into a pet store and asked about it, and they basically laughed in my face and said they get them all the time.
I've got a completely chocolate mini pomeranian.
Are they common or not so much?

I am really upset. My dog is in the hospital. He is old (13 years) and the vets say he has kidney failure. I don't know whether to prolong his life and bring him home after he is treated on IV fluids. Or choose to end his life now and not put myself through the agony of having to bring him back and euthanize him (what the vets are kinda suggesting). He is still is able to walk (although slowly) and hold his urine and all that stuff, but the docs say he could get worse. Also, the cost of meds and treatments may stack up. I feel terrible. What are your opinions?

I have one very large black belt chichlid. He was part of a breeding pair and killed his mate a week after I got them. Now, he is all alone in a 40 gallon tank. What else can I put in there? He is aggressive and large.

I've noticed that animals that have been tortured, beaten, and abused always seem to find homes before any other animal that needs that home just as badly. People line up to adopt that cat that was burned in a house fire. They send money, cards, prayers to that dog that was thrown from a two-story building. I think that it's absolutely wonderful don't get me wrong, but what about those millions of other homeless animals? There's nobody lined up to adopt them. Many many people donate, but why is it that it normally takes a tragedy to convince them to help out or donate at an animal shelter? Why does that person that would never have thought about adopting a pet all of a sudden see that one animal that was beaten and decide that they need to have it. What does it take to have a shelter dog or cat adopted out? What can we do to make those other animals stand out? The ones that weren't beaten, abused... The ones that are just dumped at a shelter because they aren't wanted/needed anymore?

I was outside and just happened to come across a snake, pure black with grey or white 'rings' covering it. Also, the rings looked a tad faded.

I'm wondering what kind of snake this is, and if anyone could tell me some detailed info\give me a link to detailed info, that'd be extremely apprecatied! Thanks! I'm just worried it might be venomous.

I should note, until 3 weeks ago hardly any fur dropped and both her parents do shed very little. She eats Iams and gets brushed 1-2x daily. Curious if this could be adult fur coming in?!?
