Anahid asked:


Not all cats do that,but i saw many times a cat tried to run
accross the street while the car was coming close,not before.
Is it a kind of challenging or something?
Thanks.

Can my older cats (3 to 13 years old) catch feline lukemia from my kittens if they are current on their shots?

schoolbus asked:


Vet tested my kittens for feline lukemia (they are 3 months old). I guess the test take about 9 minutes. The vet came in and said things looked good. Then about 12 minutes after the test he told me that there could be a chance they have it but he thinks there might have been a mess up on the test. Was told to keep kittens from other my other cats but they were already exposed to the kittens the day I adopted them from the animal shelter. I am just so worried about all of them.

Is it bad to separate cats after they have lived together all their lives?

geetargirl05 asked:


My brother and I each got a cat from a litter about 10 years ago. So for 10 years these brother cats have lived together in the same house. I’m moving out next month and I want to take my cat with me, but I’m wondering if moving AND not having his brother with him will be too much change. I could take both cats, but it would obviously be a little bit more money to take care of both of them.

i have four cats, and they are all indoors cats. they keep getting those ugly little worms around their anuses and in their stool.. they have been dewormed a few times. how do you get rid of them for good?
yeah you don’t just get rid of a pet that you love

and we have done that pill from the vet on them several times but they keep reoccuring. and idk if its tape worms because they are not long worms, they are probably a few millimeters.

Robert L asked:


I want something cute, playful, loving, and with a personality–as close to a dog as possible. I dont have time for a dog and I am considering a cat even though I have never really liked them so much

Dog aggression (a specific scenario) ?

Filed under: Dogs — Tags: , , — frank @ 12:12 am

bunny_love04 asked:


My aunt in China has 3 dogs in her house (a Tibetan Mastiff, A German Shepard, and one other breed, can’t remember the name, she’s the smallest one of all. We’ll call her Dudu). So Dudu came first to the family. Several years later the Mastiff and German Shepard joined the family. At first everything was harmonic until one day…

Ok… so when my uncle comes home everyday he greets the 3 dogs in order and he always picks up Dudu first. However, one day he came home a little drunk and greeted the German Shepard first (the shepard somehow got in front of Dudu. Dudu was jealous and bit the German Shepard. That angered the German Shepard and she first bit my uncle and then all 3 dogs plus 2 people (my aunt and uncle) got into a fight (yea, picture that).

So ever since then every time the German Shepard sees Dudu she will attack and bit Dudu like crazy. Poor Dudu now has wounds everywhere. My aunt has no other choice but to separate the two (Dudu inside the house, Shepard outside). I wonder, for all the animal behavior experts out there… can the Shepard’s behavior be corrected? I know that they are not willing to give up neither of them. But can they live happily ever again?

This is why I only have a Bengal cat in the family. No dog fights. =P

Thanks!
I think it’s 100% jealousy. My uncle goes on business trips a lot so when he is not home my aunt is the only one breaking off the fight. According to her the fights are pretty intense. Therefore I don’t think a water gun will solve the problem. I’ll def ask her to try though (but I think she’s too scared to let the 2 dogs meet each other again now).

All 3 dogs are female.

How do you get house cats to stop fighting?

nhalleycat asked:


I have a 7 yr. old spaid female cat . About 6 months ago we got a 8 month old nutered male cat. Both cats are in and out side cats. At night they are both in. The male beats up the female all the time. He stauks her out side and jumps on her and hair goes flying. I seperate them in 2 different parts of the house when they are both home. Is there any way I can get the male cat to leave the female alone out side of getting rid of him? I really like him other wise. He is a bully ALL the time with the female. She can not walk, sit or stand with out him jumping on her and scratching and biting her. She runs from him and will not come home if he is waiting for her out side. He keeps her off our property. Any suggestions would be greatly appreacheated. Thanks in advance.
I bring the male in so the female will come home. I am always bringing in a cat in the front door and going to the other door to get the other one. LOL Thanks for all your answeres

WIll a male or female puppy get along better with a 3yr old female cat?

Filed under: Cats — Tags: , , — frank @ 9:00 pm

a’siangirl asked:


We just moved into a big house, so my husband wants to get a dog. We have a 3yr old female torti cat that is truly the queen of the house! I am wondering, if we get a female puppy could there be competitional issues, or if a male might cause dominance issues. Does it even matter, or is the specific breed of dog more important?
