So we have adopted a new ketten about 2 weeks ago. My 1 1/2 yr old cat took verynicely to her after a few hours and now she cleans the kitten and lets her snuggle with her as well as teaching her the ropes when it comes to playing tuff. My question is although I find this behavior sweet and cute, is this a typical cat behavior? Do spayed females usually assume a motherly role with new kittens or are my cats just being kitties with no genetic behaviors involved.

Please no responses telling me to be happy or anythin like that. I am happy I am glad they get along, I am looking for the science in this behavior.

I just moved into my apartment on the 2nd. I moved in and now, within this past week my dog has been scratching. I didn't think too much of it, because it wasn't that serious, but now it has gotten pretty bad. At this moment, I can't bring her to the vet to get a flea bath, I have to do it at home.. whats the bed kind of shampoo I can do to wash her (I'm going to the store NOW before it closes)
Also, I looked on my bed (she's a big dog ..german shep/golden ret mix.. and she lovess sleeping my on bed and couch, and I have no problem with it) and I saw a blackish brown spot and I went to touch it and it was a flea. I got to pick it up and look at it, and it freaked me out. Now my apt is small, and I need to get rid of these monsters off my dog and out of my apt!!
How do I get them out of my apartment!!!!

My 1 year old boxer has been diagnosed with Aseptic Menengitis and has been on Prednisone treatment for the last 2 months and will continue dosage for another 3 to 4 months. He's been losing hair over the past month or so and has a few bald areas and a few thinning areas, is this a side effect of the prednisone? If so is there anyway to help with the amount of hair loss? Will his hair grow back once his treatment is done? Thanks in advance.

If you spend $ 10 feeding a cat, then that is $ 10 that is not spent on a mosquito net, and a child in China dies of Malaria.

Someone might say, I am not good with people, I do not want to volunteer working with people. Well, get a part time job where you do not have to work with people, and donate the money to charity. Work is work right__???

I know, I know, this is not an easy question. Heck, I have a dog, so I am a complete hypocrite.

BUT

It does make you stop and think

Look forward to the answers.

I've recently received two chicken eggs ( hatched yesterday) and I want to try to hatch them except I have no incubator. However, I do have a lamp and right now, the eggs are sitting in a cloth ( in a box) with a lamp over it. I've also read that it would be ok to use a toaster (set to 93 degrees) and to place a sponge next to it to keep the eggs moist. Which method is best to hatch the eggs? It would also be great if you guys had any other ideas for me. Keep in mind that I have no incubator though! Thanks!

Sorry...This is a repost of a question that I posted last night and only had 2 answers. I wanted to get the daytime people's thoughts:)

A 7 year old Lab that was retired from service. He became fearful of storms, loud noises, thunder etc and they called in Cesar Milan to help him get over his fears?

Cesar said the dog forgot HOW to be a dog because of his intense training/relationship with humans. His owner said Gavin wasn't a PET, he was a TOOL for Law Enforcement. (I hope I worded that right) They did say while in service that he was a VERY stable, sure dog.

This got me to thinking...

Do dogs that are used for this purpose (police work, ATF work, security, drug enforcement etc) go thru this? Is there a point when they DO forget HOW to act like a dog?? With all the intense training they go thru and the 24/7 contact with people, they know more human 'commands' then 'dog' language. Do they forget how to be a dog?

Just wanted your thoughts

and then they literally shake their heads as if trying to break the trance, are they in shock because they REALLY like the smell or are they in shock because they odor is so unbearable that they can't believe they just smelled that? BTW it is hilarious when they do it but just curious to know
