I believe that it is 1/2 a cup per gallon but im not sure. My salt package goes by weight of salt not volume. i usually use a scale but it broke. Please don't make up answers if you aren't sure. This is a life or death (of my fish/corals) situation

I don't know much about keeping cats so I want cat owners to advise me on this.

I live myself and want something to come home to at night.
I wouldn't let the cat outdoors (not a good area and roads nearby)
The cat would be left alone all day (I work and at college)

I mean people on here don't know what type of life style they are living and what type of dog would be best for them. I think those people just really want a dog to use as an acessory and those are just all the wrong reasons to buy a dog. There are just too many dogs out there that were chosen just because they were cute, and then end up in the pound. Why can't people do more research about dog breeds? What do you think?

I wear very loose pajamas because I sweat at night. I've had this kitten for about a month, and it normally sleeps in the same bed as me and my girlfriend. Last night the cat crawled in my PJs and bit my penis. It didn't cause any major damage, but it hurt like hell and I slapped my gf because I thought she had stabbed my d*ck with her long finger nails.

I do a lot of play fighting, where I let him bite my hands and fingers so maybe he thought it was a huge , weird finger.

If I wear briefs to bed, it would protect me, but then I always have to get up and shower at 3 AM because it gets so sweaty and itchy down there.

Hi, well basically my dog...we already know hes dieing (sp?)

Hes had thyroid cancer for a long time now, and it started really effecting him recently.

Hes lost like 50 pounds, hes all boney and skinny now.

And lately hes really been scaring me.

He just lays around and wont move no matter what. You can kinda nudge him, or even show him his favorite ball that he likes to play with....and he still wont move.

Today he wouldnt even eat his can of food i gave him....and he has ALWAYS eaten his canned food, its like his fave, but today, he didnt even touch it

I have accepted the fact that he is dieing, and that he may not have much longer (we may even end up putting him to sleep)

But no one is home today, i got out of school early, and im here all alone, and im super, super worried...i dont want him to die when no one else is around cuz...i dont know what to do to be honest

Do you think hell be ok until my mom gets home?

I ask this cos im a dude myself, and er..i have a female calico cat (i asked bout her problem of only eating tinned tuna, and avoiding her catfood you may recall...) but yea, my question is..if a female cat doesn't wanna 'get jiggy with it' and accidently runs into a 'dude cat' who's seriously in heat, what are her chances of avoiding his advances in all their glory ?

cats are way down the ladder in the mammal kingdom, but theoreticaly if a female cat told the dude cat 'hey look...im NOT interested' but he boned her anyway, thats kinda rape. I guess on 'cat planet' (in a galaxy far far away...) theres a justice system in place where a cat judge, and cat lawyers deal with cat rape. anyways before this question takes a turn for the worse...i just wanted to know if female cats can ward off male cat advances , i have never seen cats 'get it on' (and trust me i think i could do without ever having to witness such a spectacle too)..

Why do you care so much about other people? It's no ones business on what dog they buy, or how much they pay for it. We don't sit and tell you where to buy a purebred, and tell you why would you spend that much money on a stupid purebred dog?
I own both purebreds, and a mix breed that is a designer dog. Everyone wants to say go to a shelter and get one, if you don't you are supporting byb's and puppymills, well let me tell you something, I'm sure you people who show your dogs, didn't get them from a shelter, so in reality everyone with a purebred that didn't buy from a shelter is supporting byb's or puppymills, because no one here thinks that any breeder is a good breeder, look at everyone question asked about breeding, and at least one person commetns about them being or supporting these things... If you people are so smart, why are you still supporting them to? What are the only good breeders in the world the ones you use? I'd say there's lots of great breeders out there.

Someone just asked a question about this breed (or mutt I should say) and I wanted to know what mixture of breeds this was, because I haven't heard of this one as of yet.

This Pup, who is only 9 months old is hell bent on eating the new House. Bitter apple and all that other junk is not a deterent. Kongs and Bongs and bells and whistles, he has it all. He has a lot Toys, but then i am told that he should not have too many because thats counter productive. He gets brought out in the morning for 25 minutes, and then when i get home for an hour, and then later at night. I cannot be at home all day and its convenient for the folks who have nothign better to do than sit at home all day. He gets lot of attention when I am home. He has been to Puppy School. I have tried it all. nothing is working.

Am not crating my Dog, Whats the point of having a dog if your gona lock it up in a cage like a canary.
Is there anything out there.

Anyone got any idea on how to help me help my dog become less destructive?

i have a 1 1/2 yr. old spayed female cat, and two 6 1/2 mo. kittens (they're siblings.) i can't tell if the girl kitten is in heat, but the boy kitten today just tried to mount on the adult cat who's spayed. i picked him up and looked at his pee pee and it was sticking out so i know for sure what he was trying to do.
the kittens aren't fixed yet, but why would he mount on a fixed cat? (his pee pee sticks out when he gives himself a bath, this started occuring about 3 mo. ago)

My dog wakes everyone up all through the night to go outside when she really doesn't have to go, she will just stand outside for like ten to twenty minutes. Does anyone know of any sleeping pills for dogs? Or any other suggestions? Its a real problem. We haven't gotten sleep in years. The dog is 11.

My puppy is 5 months old. She had her first set of shots on time. When she needed to go back for the second set I could not get them until two weeks later, which she had to have them all over again. She was due for shots again, the same first set of shots today, I could not get her to the vet, now they say when I bring her in on the 17th of Nov. that she will have to get the first set again. I feel I am being railroaded. I had a lab several years ago who did not get his second set of shots on time, but when I did take him in, they gave him all of the shots needed to catch him up, plus his rabie. He turned out to be fine. My puppy was also going to be spayed today along with her shots. Because I could not make the appointment, I am also being charged $25 because I missed the appointment although I contacted them before time. I am better off buying the vaccinations and administer them myself.
