My grandmother passed away recently and I have volunteered to take care of her 15 year-old male cat. He is very calm and good-natured by himself, but when I brought him into my home, he won't stop picking fights with my 2 year-old female cat. She doesn't seem to pick fights with him at all, but he is constantly lurking around every corner waiting to fight. He is neutered and she is spayed, so I figured there wouldn't be a big problem.

I don't want to give up my grandmother's cat because no one would adopt such an old cat and he would be put to sleep otherwise. My home has a lot of doorways but no doors (it is a very odd setup) so there is no way to keep them in separate areas of the home. I don't want to lock either of them up in my bedroom. What can I do to help them adjust to one another?

Why does she do this? She still eats, purrs and uses the cat potty. It is a horrible screaming sound. Please help?

I just let my dog in for awhile, and he's eating now, and the weird thing is -- he will stop eating every once in awhile and just stare at me .. he's outside pottying now, but it was like 60 seconds and as he stared he gave a like upset or untrustworthy look, and then his head would go lower as he stared at me. I never looked away, but then he did. what's that mean? what should I have did/do?

He moves his leg like he's scratching himself.

It's the only one I've had that won't come near me. He flies round the cage at 90 so you can't get him but when you eventually do, he bites really hard, I realise he's just protecting himself. I don't want him to be scared of me just sit on my shoulder and walk on me like the other one did. Help, what can I do???

How can I tell if he is dead? His shell is very soft, but he's all tucked inside his shell and doesn't go in the water, doesn't eat, and doesnt smell. He won't even move when I touch his feet or anything! My mom says he is too small (his shell is about an inch long, give or take alittle) for the vet to be able to do anything? Is she right, or should I find a vet? Also, where could I find a vet that will deal with turtles when I live in Nixa, MO, and don't want to drive out of state?

Recently, me and my boyfriend restocked our 55 gal. african cichlid tank ( all but three of our fish [ clown knife fish, auratus, jewel cichlid ] died because our radiator was broken and blasting out heat while we were out... poor things, that plus the tank heater made the water like bathwater. ).

However, we bought a livingstonii cichlid, two long finned gray cichlids ( i'm unsure of their precise name ), & a 10 tiny baby cichlids - two auratus, two albino, a yellow lab, an electric yellow, two blue, two orange, & a loach.

But now, after about 4 days - out of our new fish - we can only find the two grays, the baby auratuses,the livingstonii, and the loach. I'm wondering if the knife fish ate the others. When the tank was originally stocked, it never left it's cave, except to eat and swim briefly to the surface.

So, is it the knife fish? He's the only fish I have with a mouth big enough to eat them, and I would like to know before I acquire some more babies from a friend.

I am starting agility with my dog and we've done it for a few months. I have a few questions though.

1. Can a non-AKC dog still compete in anything?
2. Where can I buy really cheep equiptment/ can I make anything besides the jumps?
3. What types of competition can junior handlers compete in?
4. Is there any water what so ever involved?

I mean really, what's the deal? Most people want a cheap or free puppy anyway, why add any extras to it?

A puppy is a puppy. If you want it trained, you train it! If you want it micro-chipped, you chip it! It is your dog, and you get to do what you want, right?

as i said, she's 17 years old, and she's about normal weight, and we ahve our computers, some storage, videogames, and catboxes in our basement, basically me my brother, sometimes my sisters, and older brother are down there

she only pees in the cat boxes, but she'll poop in hidden places, and it's beginning to become a health hazard

i figured since she'sld it might jsut be because she's so old she can't hold it in long enough, but if there's a way to get her to stop or somethihg to help ehr be able to keep it in until she gets to the litter box??

I live in a house among tall trees in a large area, almost like a tropical forest. I like it this way because it became a safe refuge for wild animals around, like small monkeys, racoons, birds etc. Still my ex wife left me with a cat and 3 dogs. Now there are 8 cats. I know, they should have been spayed, my budget won´t allow me to do all at once. Fleas are the main problem. Somebody please help me!

I have two goldfish that I previously thought were both male, and if not that I at least assumed they were too young to breed (I only got the second one in October, though I don't know how old it was before that). But yesterday I discovered a handful of tiny transparent fish swimming around in the fishtank.

If they aren't baby goldfish I don't know what they could be or where they could have come from. The thing is fantail goldfish are plump and short with a fancy tail, but the baby fish were elongated, though otherwise hard to make out.

I also found little white spheres on one of the plants in the far corner of the tank.

So just to verify, could someone show or describe to me what goldfish eggs and newborn fantail goldfish would look like?

Also, how long will it be before I can identify the baby snail in my tank?

And how long does it take for a cherry shrimp to reach full size?
