Soon I will probably end up posting a thread with questions about puppy/cat interaction but for the moment I just need help with a name. We rescued this super sweet little boy about 5 days ago. Every bone in his body was showing and he just craved affection. I just couldn't let the poor baby...

BOTH of my babies are sick and I'm worried. Yesterday they both ate the usual 1/2 can of wet food for dinner. This morning neither one ate their usual 1/4 cup of dry for breakfast. Then Nova threw up. They acted fine all day but didn't beg for dinner like usual. I put the wet food out but...

Long story short: after getting several degrees, I went back to school for a paralegal degree. I have 1 class left that just started, plus an internship. I started at the biggest law firm in town 2 months ago as a temp for a girl who was on maternity leave. She is back and now I'm working and...

Hey guys, I need a little help. This year was hectic for us, so instead of giving each other gifts for Christmas we treated ourselves to a weekend away. We rented a lovely ocean-front hotel room with a spa and have had a wonderful time so far. As soon as we got here, the sweetest little torti...

And hid it somewhere in the house. Well, I woke up at 4:00 this morning to find Niko crouched in the middle of the bedroom making some of the weirdest sounds he's ever made. He was growling and would run a few feet away from me every time I tried to get close to see what was wrong. Finally I...

My little 4-5 month old, Nova, was spayed 3 days ago and I'm curious about a few things. She never liked being picked up and would only let us pet her back, not her head. After the spay, she became a little love-bug. She's been bonking her head asking for pets and even purring when I pick her...

We've had Niko for a little over a year and he's now about 1yr and 4 months old. He likes to act like he's a big tough guy, but on the rare occasions that we have company over or something out of the ordinary happens, he always runs and hides. The glass door in front of our front door has always...

We rescued little Nova from a colony of cats living in a junk yard and we noticed that she had some black crusty looking stuff at the edge of her nostrils. I thought it was probably just dirt and that it would come off when she cleaned herself or during her flea bath. It didn't so I dipped a...

Introducing Niko & Nova. The background: So Niko is my big 1 year old boy. Hes probably between 12 and 15 lbs. We've had him since he was 2 months and he's never played with another cat. While I use toys to play with Niko, husband uses his hands to wrestle with him. I explained why this was...

Someone rescued this feral baby last night and asked if I would take her. I plan to get her to the vet and on the waiting list to be spayed asap. How old do you think she is? Any name suggestions? What would you call her coloring? She has spots, stripes, a little of everything

I'm 25 and I've never been to a wedding where a) I wasn't involved and told what to wear; or b)  young, like under 15.  I have a wedding to go to in about 2 weeks and I still don't know what to wear. I bought these 3 dresses, with the intent to return at least one of them (I have another, more...

I've noticed that several people here own aquatic turtles and since I can't post pics on the turtle sites I was hoping someone could give me a little advice. If you can see, about two scutes back between the middle and the right side is a mark, and I can't tell if there is a spot between the...

The sun came up early and the morning is beautiful. Coffee and birdwatching to start our day. Niko likes the 3 pairs of cardinals that live in our yard. And all the little finches in the tree above his enclosure.

We did the proper separation/introduction when we brought home a young female kitten to befriend our boy. They got along fine at first, then a few days later his behavior changed and I caught him trying to figure out how to mate with her. We separated them again and got him neutered. Its been a...

What do I name this little face? She is the most affectionate little thing, eager for love, full of curiosity and so happy to be saved.

The stray kitten I was hoping to get popped back up, so I got her checked out and took her home. she's about 3 months old. This is the first time I've introduced two indoor kittens, and I did read the links and posts for a proper introduction. I've kept her in the master bathroom so far and...

I got this for him about an hour ago... He's only 6 months so he's still pretty small but he's already broken one of the sisal covers arms. They're just plastic poles, and fiancé tried to drill a hole and use a screw to reattach it but that didn't work. He tries to dangle from it and pull and...

So it'll be several days to a couple of weeks before I can get a little friend for my kitty so I guess I'm going to try taking him outside to explore.. So how do I train him to walk on a leash? I now know that it's his harness that makes him fall over, so I plan to get him a better one, but so...

I apologize for the length, theres a bit of a back-story here. So my dad has 2 cats of his own and a bunch of strays outside. One little stray kitten kept wanting to come in whenever he opened the door. At first my dad was nice and let the kitten in once in a while. Then when I was visiting...

I bought my 6 month old kitten a little harness to go outside on a leash, and every time I put it on him he tries to bite it but he also wobbles and falls over. I checked to make sure it wasn't too tight, of course. He just has no balance with the harness on.. What's up?
