I have a cat that's in need of a humane shelter for 2 months cuz I need to move into my friend's house.
I can take it back afterwards.
Does anyone know where I should go?
It doesn't matter if I need to pay money.
However, please list the amount if possible.
Thank you.

I would like to be able to move the fish in the water in the aquarium. I am only moving about 200 yards away from where I live now. Is it possible to drain about half the water and put the aquarium on a dolly and wheel it to my new house? Will they be safe?

I've seen some people on this forum say one of the stipulations of being a reputable breeder is showing your dog to championship. But what about preserving the ability the dog was originally bred for? How about a dog who stands out in his breed, not in show conformation, but ,for example, his ability to hunt, and one who is a field trial champion? Accounting for all other things (i.e health certification, temperament etc..), would you not breed such a dog because he isn't a champ in conformation? Would you instead opt to breed the dog who conforms to the breed standard, but possibly lose working ability along the way? And finally, would you consider someone who breeds for ability, along with health and temperament, a disreputable breeder?

I have a male rat who is about 4 months old. I spend a great deal of time with him but the entire time he is out with me he is hiding on me somewhere. In my pockets or in the armpit of my sweat shirt. I used to think this was cute but now i think i am contrubuting to his shy behavour. How can i make my rat want to come and sit with me instead of hiding all the time ?? He is very friendly just shy but could that be because of his age ??

My two year old got a hold of my parakeet a few weeks ago. She plucked some of the feathers out of the back of its head with her teeth and injured its leg. It left a noticeable bald spot, with a few blood spots, and a badly limping bird. The leg has healed, but the bald spot seems to be growing. The area she plucked out is a nice pink color, but all around that area where the other feathers have fallen out it is red, as if there is a shallow blood blister under the skin. I separated it from the other parakeet we have just in case she's plucking the feathers out of her friend. Is there anything else I should do? I've heard of parrots getting plucked by other birds and the feathers never grow back. Is this possible in a case like mine?

Ok, I know it was just a cartoon, but I believe it was Sylvester who put salt on Tweety's tail so that he couldn't fly away, and a man who happened to be in the room said, "That's true, you know." I've remembered that for allll these years and wondered if there's really any truth to that. Is there?

I see so much misinformation here about what it means for a dog to be AKC registered.

Here's a couple myths I've seen:

- Myth: "A dog outside the breed standard cannot be registered." and "If a dog is AKC registered, it means it is high-quality."
- Truth: False. All registry means is that the dog's parents were AKC registered, purebred, and of the same breed. A dog can have disqualifying faults and still be registered.

- Myth: Only champion dogs can be registered.
- Truth: False. A dog needs to be shown before it can be champion. And a dog needs to be registered to be shown.

What are some others you have heard?

I'm asking this question to help spread awareness on a very important and controversial issue. I have 2 cats and am a strong advocate of keeping cats inside for their safety. I believe the outside world is no place for wondering animals. What are thoughts on this issue? I have this issue addressed on my website also to help spread the word. http://maketheconnection.co.nr

I own 4 Pit Bull/Am Bull Dog mixes weighing between 55-85lbs
I have just started taking them for bike rides with me.
We go at a medium pace for about a mile to a mile and a third depending on how tired we get.
I prefer the bike rides over the walks much better and I think they do to.

So, my question is...Is a bike ride as good as a walk and am I giving them to much/not enough exercise?
