I have the typical small NYC apartment and my kitty gets restless. She likes to climb all over things and sit in high places. So I bought her a cat condo with 3 levels, however I've had it for 2 days and I can't get her to go near it.

Does anyone here have a cat condo? Did your cat like it right away or did it take some time? I read about how other's peoples cat's love it but maybe it takes some time to get use to?

I have an eight month-old kitty, who never buries her poop. She just lets 'em rip, and leaves her business sitting on top of the litter box. Then she lightly scratches the side of the box, and walks off; leaving her stinky poo for her brother or sister to clean up (which they often do). What's her problem?

My neighbor has had a cat since it was a kitten and it's been inside all its life sah also had it declawed. Well she put it outside because it didn't catch one mouse. I think its stupid and cruel because its been pampered and doesn't even know what to do outside and it's DECLAWED. Do you think this is some sort of animal cruelty?

I have currently two Kelpies and a Red heeler and my Rhodesian Ridgeback who is the family pet.
However one of my Kelpies is pregnant and I am going to retire her for awhile, so I will need to replace her.
I don't want another Kelpie, otherwise their maybe a little jealousy.
What dog would you people recommend I have a look at???

She hasn't had them long because she just started to scratch within the week. If i use frontline and giver the dip will I still need to bomb my house. I have to toddlers and I can't just up and leave for an entire day. I will however wash bed clothes and couch stuff, etc. Will I need to isolate her or anything. Never dealt with them before because she is my first pet since home and never was outside until like 2 weeks ago.

I have a two year old American Bulldog that was hit by a pick-up truck three weeks ago. I took her to the vet and there were no broken bones just minor scrapes. The vet checked her and said she was fine. This past week I noticed my dog breathing hard and heavy, at night it's hard for me to sleep because her breathing is so loud. The vet tells me she is fine but I don't think so. Are there any vets that can tell me why she may be like this?

I live in a large apartment complex and the neighbors are two doors down and are kind of trashy. The cat is often sitting at other people's doors. Once the cat tried to get into our apartment late one night.

Okay here is what happened to my dog.

Okay I switched my dogs food to Purina because he wasn't eating his Beneful. I slowly converted him to it by mixing half and half but I guess he really liked it or something because her finished the entire bowl in less than 30 seconds. Now my dog has horrible diareah and I don't want to take him to the vet because he is not a puppy so it won't affect him as much (we give him plenty of water) plus its 9 right now and the vet closed. My mom said to give him rice becasue that will help stop it and it did, but it wore off...

It may have been old age or whatever, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

He had a white spot near his mouth, and his body looked fatter.

Then for a couple days before he died he was lying down the bottom of the tank and it was a lot of effort for him to swim to the top.

I didn't clean the tank too often (because I was told it is stressful for them) but I never let it get filthy. (Cleaned the tank about every 1.5 - 2 weeks) but I had him for a year or two and that never bothered him.

I was very careful with the ph levels and he had a heater in winter, so I know it's none of that.

It was a small to medium sized tank, (I though it was cruel to put him in a tiny jar like alot of people do) and he use to love swimming around alot.

Did he have a disease? If so, what was it?

I had a (male) fighter fish, which I loved, but he died a couple days ago. Now, I would like to get a couple of fish (2 or 3) that are easy to look after (don't require too much water change hassle or filter etc)

I know you can't put fighters together (which is a shame).

So, what fish can I get? I read that goldfish require a filter (otherwise I would probably get goldfish)

Also, if you can tell me how to clean the tank out properly since my fish died in it, and in case he had a disease, I don't want to spread that to the new fish.

Thankyou :)

I have tried vinager and organic lavender shampoo and other
natural things because I am strongly against using chemicals on animals. In the few weeks that I have had them I have bathed them numerous times. Please give me sum advice as to what my next step should be.
