I just bought the catnip spray a few days ago along with cat toys. When i reached home, i sprayed the catnip on the cat toys. But my kitten isn't interested at all at the toys. What is wrong?

So , I have a 8 month old male cat, he is not neutered YET.. It will be done soon though. For the past two days, I caught him peeing in plastic bags lying around!!! Why is he doing this??? As far as I know, thats ALL he has peed on but who the hell knows what he does when I'm not there. his litter box is clean and i feed him on time, thinking he was doing it cuz he was mad at me for something. I cant figure it out! Why would he pee on plastic bags?

Yesterday around noon the vet called to say that our 11 year old labrador retriever had 2 tumors, one in the esophagus, another by the lungs. We knew he was suffering and that by the hour he was getting worst. So yesterday around 4:30 he was put down. he was my best friend, had him since i was 10.

So I was just wondering, my birthdays tomorrow and I am so depressed. I cant stop crying. But is there anything I can do on my birthday or how can I enjoy the day without crying?

We have 2 guppies and 2 tetras in a fish bowl..I have no idea how big the bowl is but its probably about 4x the size of the small ones you can get a beta in? anyways we got the fish yesterday and today i noticed the water is cloudy. i am afraid to use tap water and i didnt really think to ask the lady at the pet store what type of water to use to clean it. she told me i did not need a filter or anything for these fish they do fine in bowls. so what should i do to keep the fish healthy and what type of water should i use? any ideas would be helpful.

I have a really whiny, hyper cat. She is 3 and she has been spayed. She has a lot of bad habits that really need to be broken, such as stratching my dresser and crying in the middle of the night for no reason.

Any such thing as a cat whisperer? Any ideas on how to calm an adult cat?

My kitten is 7 months old and this is the first kitten I've ever owned. Anyway, this little guy is the most playful, active, and curious ball of fur that I've ever seen - from playing chase with me, to drinking water out of the sink and the shower, to jumping inside of the cabinet and up inside the cabinet drawers (just like a magic trick) that he never ceases to amaze me. Anyway, I'd like to hear some of the funny things that you're kitten or cat does. Thanks!

I got a Tetra whisper in tank filter, but it get dirty in a week, even though I replace the carbon filter. I have only a few gallons of water in the tank, ( a few inches tall) and a turtle not much larger than silver dollar. I recently took it all apart, cleaned everything, put in a new cartridge, and now a week later it is cloudy. The people at the pet store have been less than helpful. Can anyine out there reccomend anything for me?

I am thinking of fiddler crabs or something else kinda unique. When I set it up do I need fish in there to get the cycle going? Maybe a couple cheap feeder fish or something? And how long do I wait to put other fish in? Any help is appreciated.

I have a 9 month old lab/shepherd mix who chews up toys very quickly... she can't have anything that is made of cloth as its destroyed within 5 minutes. She got 4 toys for christmas... a reindeer with a bottle inside of it (chewed threw the reindeer material in 15 minutes) "the most durable soft chew toy in the world" (or so they claimed... started ripping fuzz out by 5 minutes) and a vinal squeeky hot dog (had the end of the dog chewed off in 2 minutes).

When I go to a pet store she gets kong refills, ropes (which don't last too long) and latex squeeky toys. Are there any other good toys for agressive chewers?

I'd like to hear some experiences from people out there who breed their dogs. I've been considering getting into it for a while, but most articles come at it with a doomsday perspective. I figure if so many people are doing it... there must be some positive side.

Let's be clear... I'm not currently breeding dogs. I'm trying to be responsible about this. I'm interested in hearing experiences, not preaching on why it's such a bad thing to do this that or another thing.

My dog has 4 distinct lumps under his neck and has fits of coughing and spits up a slight amount of blood. The coughing started a few weeks ago but I noticed the swelling two days ago. Has anybody else experienced this with their dog?
