Pets - 7 December 2007

I am almost out of the set of bags I have. I had ordered them online a year ago but since a cimputer crash I lost the link in my favorites. They are great because you can reuse the receptacles which cost a fortune. If anyone has a source, please share!!

If I try to push her out of the cat door she fights back. If I throw her out she comes right back in! But I want her to use the garden and not use a litter tray indoors

I just adopted a stray kitten from the wood mill in our town.
We're fairly certain it's female, and probably 6-9 weeks old. Her mother abandoned her after become pregnant again.
What do I do to care for her? She's been living off deep fried food, and cow's milk at the mill, which is a terrible diet I think, but comes from hanging around the canteen there. In the two days she's been here, she's been eating two meals a day, these meals are small dishes of raw chicken. She's also been drinking water, and lactose-free milk.
How do I care for her, as in food/sleeping/environment/play?
Also, how to go about training her (litter tray, and commands such as sit)?

I noticed tonight that my cat has blood in his urine, and is trying to pee a lot but not getting anything out. Worried, i looked online and it said it is a uti, but it worse in male cats seeing their urethra is smaller and can get blocked from this leading in a kidney failure. IM VERY WORRIED! =[. I've had my cat for 11 years. He's still happy and purring and stuff, but i know it hurts when he tries to pee because i was watching and he went in the litter box to try to go, and nothing came out except like a drop and when he got out he growled, not at me but it obviously hurts. And also he's cleaning it a lot. Seeing as it's 5 in the morning, can I wait until the morning to take him to the vet? I've been checking on him making sure he's ok but i don't want to wake up in the morning and find he's not ok....

So my Fiancée and I decided that the litter maid weren't cutting it anymore and we bought the Cat Genie. (www.catgenie.com). It seems a bit scary at first I would imagine, but none of the cats have ever had a problem changing litter boxes or litter. We slowly moved the litter boxes into the bathroom (where the Cat Genie is hooked up). But they won't defecate inside the Cat genie, only urinate. We also tried covering the entire unit with a black plastic bag and we found several poos. Now the bag is off and only one poo found so far. We still have the old standard litter boxes. I don't want to put stress on any of the cats by totally removing the boxes. I understand that litter boxes are really important to cats and need to be clean and in the right place at all times. I just really want them to use the Cat Genie! It’s a healthy alternative and I don't have to clean it (push a button, everything goes down the toilet).

Please suggest any suggestions!

My cat, Frankie girl, Is in heat. I am starting to think that she is a lesbian though, Which is fine, I will love her either way :) BUT... Is it normal for her to try to suduce my female dog? My female dog, Liberty, seems to nuzzle up to her 'girlie parts'. I feel like I am a sick person to not always break them up when this starts happening. Should I seperate them or is it harmless. Anyone else have this problem? Frankie girl is a 1 year old calico and Liberty is a 1 year old Yellow lab.

I am very compassionate towards animals and I still think about the whole animal lover/meat eater dilemma. First of all, I do not eat meat, because by doing so, I do not contribute to the slaughterhouse cruelties and ultimately it is better for the environment (less pollution) and my health. But, I do eat fish, I am not of the opinion that fish are not worthy or do not feel pain, I still feel bad for them, but I feel like my body does need to eat fish once in a while. I tried to wear non-leather shoes and usually buy purses that are non-leather aswell, but it's not as easy as it seems to find a vast variety of non-leather items. I feed my pets meet, and that is something that is anavoidable, because the do really need it. So if I feed my animals a cow or a chicken, or cute little pork out of a bag, I can't help but becoming one of the consumers that supports slaughterhouses. Very sad. I feel that since I am human and blessed with a reasoning mind, I should not follow other animals

One of my chiclids has gotten extremely round in the past week. She is eating fine, and looks normal, other than the fact that she looks very bloated. However, I have noticed that she has not been swimming around as much, and spends most of her time hiding in the back of the tank. How long do chiclid pregnancies last? How can I tell if she is pregnant or sick? I have tried to compare her to pictures of pregnant fish, but it hasn't really helped. If she would have babies, is there anything special I need to do, or should I just leave them alone and see what happens?

I'll try to add a picture tomorrow, my camera needs to be charged first!
