Tribbles are the little furry creatures on Star Trek that purr softly when pet. They reproduce a whole lot though.
They screech loudly at Klingons.

If I see it on tv...........I "instantly" tear up!! If anyone has the news on about animal abuse & I'm there, I can't bear to even hear it much less see how horrible humans can be!!! I just watched some videos on our California fires (my son-in-law is a Fireman Paramedic), and I was so happy to see how many animals (horses, dogs, cats, etc..) our wonderful Humane Society of the U.S. went in and saved.....***BLESS THEIR HEARTS***!!

I have given and donated to the Humane Society as I KNOW animals CAN definitly feel pain. The videos went into more videos and then there I was, caught up in the abuse of horses and how even champion and top bred horses are slaughtered!!! OH, I could hardly BREATHE!!! I began to walk in circles thinking "how can I stop these EVIL barbaric act"!! I can't stand it!! I couldn't bear to watch the rest ...I just couldn't!! How can I deal with my deepest weakness in life?? I feel like I want to see those humans suffer for doing that!!! UGH!!

My mother has a Siamese cat named Gussie. He can be kind of high-maintenance at times and make you want to curse (or cuss), so we sometimes jokingly call him Cussie.

Is a vet a Doctor? Do I refer to them as Doctor John Yahtzee? Or just Mr Yahtzee (my Vet's last name is not Yahtzee by the way, it just came into my head)

I want to send my Vet a thankyou card for the treatment of my cat, but am I over reacting by sending a card? Will they think I am slightly mental? Here is a link to another question that should explain everything: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnXLmAHtrGjR3Wop8XFWMVvty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071007045634AAhSqic

Do you think I should send a letter? I saw on their pin up board they had one or two but it seemed to be from far more serious and traumatic treatments (I can tell you though that this was still equally traumatic for me). Have I left it to long? He got his stitches out a week or two ago, but I would still like to do something.

Would it be considered neglect if you go to the vet with a sick animal, find out the bill is too expensive, and decide not to treat? And where is the line drawn? i.e., refusing to treat an ear infection vs. refusing to treat a broken leg?

we're moving from california back home to virginia. we have 2 cats and a pug dog. the cats will be in one car and the dog in another. the cats absolutely HATE HATE HATE the car, screaming and howling the whole time. doggie loves the car, but drools a LOT and sometimes gets car sick. has anyone had experience driving their animals a VERY long distance before? does anyone have tips on how to accomplish this without getting the car trashed w/ animal stuff and keeping our sanity? does anyone have any suggestions on another way (not too expensive, the move itself costs a ton already!) to get our pets across 3,000 miles? i've heard of shipping them i guess its in a plane, but wouldn't that be traumatizing? do they make car sick stuff for animals? small portable litter boxes for kitties? is sedating them something that people do in this case? is that humane/safe? any information is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sorry if this is a stupid question. :\

I'm talking about when they raise money on Daffodil Day, Red Nose Day, etc, for various illnesses and diseases.
Do they test on animals in their research? If yes, do you know what kind of testing? Thanks.

I have a rabbit, she's about 7yrs and she's not eating (not sure if she's drinking or not) but she's not eating at all and it's been like that the past 2 days. Any ideas.

Yes, kittens and puppies are cute and cuddly, but they eventually become cats and dogs. Not only that, but there are plenty of adult cats and dogs that need good homes, and if anything, I've found that they can be just as much fun as the babies. And last but not least, I think it's absolutely sickening that some people have no qualms about discarding an animal once they grow tired of it or it becomes in any way troublesome. Animals are sentient beings with physical and psychological needs of their own, so they should be treated as such rather than as playthings.

My dog Morph tells me I should change careers, he says I got better dog kharma than ol' cesar millan. Morph can't stand him and changes the channel whenever the show comes on.

Before you all say stuff like its illegal in usa, or they cannot be tamed or anything on the subject. i live in Nova scotia, Canada and am wondering where the hell i could possibly get a pet fox, If its bred in captivity then i might not have so many problems with it as everybody claims.

His eye infection is due to me always wiping his eyes and irritating them. They seem to bother him and seem a little red.
They have more discharge than usual(with this breed you always get a little disvharge, but I've noticed it to be a little worse than normal)

I was reading about nutritional yeast (Brewer's Yeast) since I use it alot to cook with, and I read that I could sprinkle it on my cats food. It says it can help their immune system and help prevent fleas. I am happy about that cause one of my cats is allergic to fleas and although is on advantage and has problem under control, is still scratching her face all the time, even til it bleeds. I want to try this before I spend a ton of money for her to see a dermatologist. I have this crazy idea that maybe if her immune system is stronger that maybe it could help her battle this allergy and if it will help repel fleas that really excites me. Has anyone else given their pet nutritional yeast with good results? Does it seem safe?

Reading through answers, I've found the recurrent message: "If you can't afford to take your pet to the vet, you shouldn't have one." Every time I read it, I'm troubled.

Obviously in an ideal world every person, not to mention every animal, would have access to health care. But in the meantime, we compromise.

Is it fair to criticize low-income people for having pets (leaving the question of children aside)? Obviously there are practical limits; if you can't afford to feed an animal, obviously you won't be able to keep it. But if you can provide a loving home, and can afford basics like food and water (and perhaps one-off fixed costs like neutering), isn't that a reasonable compromise? Isn't that better for an animal than life (or death) in a shelter, or as a stray?

I assume that most people on this forum are reasonably affluent. But I believe that sometimes people who can't afford professional help come here for amateur advice, and should be given that advice, not a reproach.

The kitten kept running away from us and hissing so we put him on our deck for 2 days without food and water, then threw him in the back yard to fend for himself for another 2 days. Its kinda like the movie "300" where the cat goes out and fends for itself and comes back a man/warrior. Now the kitten is much more playful and appreciative. He saw how crappy life on the streets was and now wants to hang out.

1.) I have had him for two months, I am very gentle with him, he still wont let me touch him or pick him up. He only lets me pet his head, and he takes food out of my hand.

2.) Right now he is sitting in his house making a really weird noise and I dont know why. It's not too cold or too warm in my room. He has fresh food and fresh water. What's wrong with him?
