Pets - 1 December 2007

The day after thanksgiving a cat was hanging around our house. Every time we would open the door the cat would run in. We fed it some turkey. We were worried that the cat belonged to someone so I told my boyfriend that we would let her out and if she hung around or came back soon that we could keep it. Well the cat came back yesterday, one week from the last time it was here. It eats if we give it food, but it doesn't seem that interested in the food. The cat seems kind of skinny, but I'm not sure I don't know a lot about cats. It slept in our bed last night. Whenever I let her out she'll run around in the front yard but then be waiting at the door ten minutes later. I'm so worried that we are stealing someone's cat. How can I tell? I don't really want to put up "Found: cat" signs. What should I do? Can we keep it?

Our sweet dog is 16 years old now and just can't seem to hold her bladder for much time at all. Other than her accidents, she's as spry as a puppy. Do doggie diapers work? If she makes it outside without wetting, do I take them off and let her relieve herself outdoors...to keep some of her doggie dignity? She often tries to make it outside, but will have an accident before we get out the door.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I have read gold barbs are peaceful but they are getting increasingly confident about biting the gouramis' fins, are they playing, curious or aggressive?

In the past, I have bought angels from Petsmart and Petworld, which haven't worked out well because with in a few days they died. (We even turned the water EXACTLY how angelfish like it and they still died.) and I had a koi, a half black, and a white angel and they were gorgeous! (I only see the striped and marbles now.) Where is a good place to buy angels that actually LIVE? I have a 30 gallon tank that is filling with mollies (that I have to get rid of because there are so many babies) and I want some angels in there after they die.

He is an indoor cat and we play with him for hours at a time and he is running all around the house chasing a toy mouse thing on a string and i am worried he will get dehydrated. We have tried to syringe water down him which he takes but i don't want to do this and i don't want him to fear drinking water. Does anyone know what i can do to encourage him? I change his water bowl twice a day so he always has fresh water.

What's a backyard breeder? Someone who breeds pets in their backyard?? I breed Terrier Spaniels (Terrier's and Cocker Spaniels), Akita Inu's, Terrier's and Chihuahua's. All my dogs are approved for breeding from my vet, and they're all wonderfully kept pets as well as mama's. And my dogs are well taken care of. My puppies are health-checked and approved before being sold. I don't breed any dogs without having studied every aspect of their personalities, and know what i'm getting into. I am a longtime (but now retired) yorkie breeder.. i have had several Cocker Spaniels, with me until death. I am a big fan of Akitas, and know everything practically about them. Terrier's are my prized showdogs for two years. And Chihuahuas...They've been my breed for years. I'm very careful to explain all the responsibilities when selling my dogs, and I don't just ship 'em off anyplace without knowing the who. And this is just me, my friends are all much more experienced breeders, and much better than I. After eight breeding, I'm still learning. I'm twenty seven., I'm currently living in Chicago Illinois but I travel several places around Illionis, and I meet lots of breeders. Almost all breeders I've met take such good precautions, and are all loving to their pets. Wonderful breeders if you ask me. So what's this junk about bybs

My two guppies have had about 5 batches of babies over the last two months and from the first 4 batches from what I can tell it looks like its all female babies (the last batch is too tiny to tell yet). Is this even possible to have all babies be female?
