Pets - 11 November 2007

My cat is always cute and caring. But i got horribly sick not too long ago, and realized she was extra caring, and was always watching over me. She never sleeps with me, because i toss and turn too much at night, but when i was feeling sick, she would sleep on top of me, or next to me, kiss me and then sleep close to me.

I know she watches my behavior, but is there anything else besides behavior? such as instinct?

How exactly do they know when your sick?

Ok so I have a 6 months old cat he actually might be a little bit older....but ever since I got him he has done this...
Whenever Gibbs gets tired and is laying on you he will suck on whatever he can...I will be sleeping and wake up to him eaither sucking on my ear my lip my neck whatever he can get a hold of...
I dont know why he does this...but he onlyt does it when he sleeps or is like being really cuddley....
When he is sucking he will perr and kneed his paws...
Its really weird!!!
I have never heard of this...I have an older cat and he has never done it before...
Is this something he will grow out off??
Anyone have any ideas??

My fiance and I just got a boxer puppy and are already having problems with her. She isnt doing so well with the housebreaking and she is tearing up everything. The only way we can keep her from having an accident at night while we are sleeping is to put her in bed with us and she isnt exactly a peaceful sleeper. Just tonight she managed to throw up on me and all over the bed! Im begining to have doubts about keeping her and I havent been able to get any good sleep since having her. I guess I can consider having her trained. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

My 1 year old dog has hurt her paw. She was downstairs with Mum and she came up stairs and started limping. Mum said she didn't see her knock it or hurt herself.

Well at first Tilly wouldn't put any weight on her paw but then she started limping.

I held her on her back (how we taught at puppy school) and pushed and felt her leg and paw, but she didn't flinch or seem like she was in much pain. I did this about 2 hours ago.

She'd been sleeping on my brothers bed and I went in and checked on her and felt her paw and leg again and she just drew away from me.

She's hobbled into my bed now and fallen asleep on my arm. She's lost all her normal energy and seems really sad.

What do I do? It's 11.15pm

My cats gums are pale-very light pink almost white- what does this mean? One of her big front teeth recently fell out too. Does anyone know what this could be? Shes due to have the drops on her neck which stop fleas on friday so maybe its worn off but could a cats gums get pale from just a few fleas? Or is this something worse like cat anemia or something?

Ok so my puppy had its first puppy training class. And she kept barking at the other dogs ( I think she was excited) but she wouldn't stop, well actually she'd stop and then she'd go again....Meanwhile the other puppies didn't make a peep...well actually again, some of them barked but only like once or twice, mine barked a lot...How do I calm her down or stop her from barking during class cause this lady kept staring at me....and I'm like what...actually I think i was paranoid, she'd stared at any dog weirdly that barked...ok answer my question please, which is located somewhere up there....?

We have a 7-8 month old Husky. We have been informed by our vet and family friends that it is around the time where she will be getting her first 'period'. I would like to know what are the signs to show this.

Today, she hasn't been all enthusiastic as she is usually very cheeky and would jump onto dinner table and jump on family members, however today she was sitting near the dinner table and have lied around us and being very quiet.

Today, while she was having her no.2's, she was howling very loudly.

She is also licking her vaginal (or how should I describe it? Sorry) part more frequently today.

Is this signs that she is going to have her first period very soon? (Today/tomorrow?).

What should we do about it? Should we still play with her and let her inside the house or leave her outside for the time being? If so, how long?

Thank you!

The dog is a pit bull mix
she is a very good dog....but she has seemed to attach herself to me...she is always following me around and will not let me out of her sight!
I am staying at my cousins house for at least 8 weeks and have no way of contacting him to ask him...
My boyfriend wants to stay with me while I am there, but the dog does not seem to like him very much?
She is fine with him until he gets close to me...
She doesnt bother him and will even play with him, but as soon as he goes to give me a kiss or gets close to me she starts to show her teeth and growl...
I want my boyfriend to stay with me while I am there but I am afraid to leave him home alone with her while I am at work?
Do you think that it would be fine because she seems ok with him unless he is near me, and if I am not there then it should be ok right?
I just know pit bulls dont have a very good rep and I dont want anything to happen...?
Help?

I have a beautiful cat and he often stares at me like saying that he adores me, waiting for me to acknowledge him, while purring the entire time. He is so cute! Does your cat do the same?

Dogs are always peeing and craping in my yard... Would it be mean if I biuld a devise called a dog pee post? The devise would consist of a metal conductor sticking up from the ground with a large car battery or several car batterys hooked together to a voltage amplifier (200,000 volts)....when a dog tries to take a piss on it it will get a non life threatining 200,00 volt jolt.....mabe i could set up a sprinkler system that would pop up and spray the dog with water when activated by the pee post...the wet dog would make a better conducter for electricity than a dry dog....this would be a non life threatining devise...it would just remind to dog not to pee there anymor.......
