My cats have recently started pooping on the floor, and on things on the floor (clothes and that sorta stuff), there has been times where they nock a sweater or other clothes off of the table or chair and then poop on it. They have a litter box that I regularly clean.. Would getting another one help? Any other advice would be awesome.

I don't know why, but, when I see people who treat their pets like humans..That's just one of my pet peeves. Or like animal activists, why do people think lifting animals above humans is "right"? If you do, please, explain??
And if you don't, state why.

Thanks!

PS - Incase you're wondering; I treat my pets good. I have a dog, two cats and two birds. They all get alot of attention, the dog is outside, cats/birds indoors. I don't believe it's "wrong" to keep dogs outside - wolves were never indoors. I do let my dog come in alot, but he "stays" outside. And he loves it !! He's "hyperactive" so (lol) he's got alot more space outside and, honestly, if he were indoors he'd drive me bonkers running around like a wild-dog!
What are your views?

My male Mastiif has 2 small callouses on his left hip where he likes to lay,and since I show him i'm trying to get rid of them,hoping that a judge won't think poorly of him,and does anyone know if this is something he might be penalized for in the show ring?

I have a four inch plecostomus that I feed algae wafers. All of my other fish seem to like these, but all of my other fish are carnivorous and are fed flakes. I am concerned that I may overfeed my other fish and underfeed my pleco. What is a food that mollies and guppies will not eat and that my pleco will love? Also, how do I feed him this food and how often?

What would they be called? Muddles? Mutt-poos? Do you think I could sell the babies?

We recently purhased our first show quality puppy and being the dog lover that I am, I would like to get started in the world of show. We got him from a wonderful breeder, who offered to help and stand behind us every step of the way, if this was the path we decided to take with our new pup. I'm well aware of the commitment that lies ahead but with the love I have for my breed, I believe its worth it. My question is, to those who chose this path....how and what made you decide to do so? What are the pros? Cons? Do you have any regrets? I would love to hear the stories and opinions of others....thanks :)

I always put Frontline plus on my dogs and for some reason my dogs and everyone I know is having the same exact same problem. Usually Frontline plus works in a matter of two days. This time around? It's like I did not even treat them at all. Is anyone else having the same problem with fleas this year? What else can I do. That was really expensive $56.00 for flea medication that did not work at all. My dogs are both in the 120lb area. My Saint Bernard would be only to happy to not have to itch every couple of minutes. Please help with some advise!!!

A few years ago, my cat had a bad reaction to the Advantage flea treatment. Since then, I have never used flea treatment on her nor have I my other cats. I do not want to risk putting any chemicals on my cats. What should I do about fleas? I do not want to use flea collars because I have heard that the chemicals on them can irritate a cat's neck. Are there any effective, natural products that I can give to my cats that will prevent fleas? I don't want them to suffer with fleas; however, I'd rather my cats have fleas than risk another bad reaction to Advantage or any other treatment.

He has a blackspot on two of his black teeth. I also think he is my cat who has been throwing his food up. He doesn't act like he is in pain. The food I find is is whole and there is no hair in it. None of the food is chewed. Would a cavity cause him to swallow food whole? How do you keep a cat from getting a cavity? Would it make his breath smell HORRIBLE?

I have a 2 year old, female, apbt. She really likes to bite my hands and feet. It doesnt hurt or anything but it does get annoying, sometimes i cant even put my feet on the ground without her biting it. She thinks im her chew toy or something. I try holding her muzzle shut when she bites me but i think that just motivates her. Any ideas on how to stop this is appreciated.

My neighbor was going to kill his sea anemone because the pet store didn't want it back. I just thought i was inhumane. Well i got it and put it in my tank. I need information on this specific type of anemone. Is it safe for my semi-reef tank overall? safe for my blue tang, cleaner shrimp, blue damsel and sea star (6')? Would if affect the water chemistry?
I need info...

We are getting two lab puppies (male and female).
I like Sierra for female.... we live in an mountainous area.
Not sure about male.
What are some good, unique names for a golden lab? I'm open to anything besides extremely common and overused names.

Yay! I just got the perfect pet rock! He has google eyes and I named him Oscar! But I need some help, I think I should get him a friend and name her Roxie. Also, what do they eat?? People say they eat nothing but I don't beileve that. His "house" is a plastic box, with plenty of rocks and water. So its like where a turtle would live. He also has his own pillow! (Spoiled little rock!!) I sound stupid but im not like 34 or something (no offense 34 year olds!!) so don't give me stupid answers. Um, oh how do you prevent dry skin because he really likes going outside in the cold air to play in the leaves. Also name some illnesses and how to cure them or prevent them....Also how do I keep the glue from coming off when he goes for a swim. Last, any videos on pet rocks? Thanks!

I want my male cats to stop producing kittens but I do not want to get his testicles removed! Looks and sounds cruel!
Any alternative? Like a cat vasectomy? If we can do it to humans... cats should be easier!
He is a show cat and he produces the most beautiful kittens, but also a bad smelling pee and I am tired to deal with it, he never marked or spayed but is pee smell in his litter box is horrible, he has the purrforma and I tried to toilet - train him ( no luck)
Thank you!!!
Please serious answers!!

i found a stray cat in my buildings stair way. she's pretty young and has been there for about 2-3 days.i'm pretty sure she was abondened cause if her owners wanted her they would have put up stuff saying they lost their cat but it's ben 3 days people just walk past her and dont pay any mind to her. i don't want her to have to stay there all night with nothing to eat. i gave her food(was that dumb) and she won't eat it. my biggest fear is someone opening the door letting her out into the real world. help please?!!?!?!
