Question #3:
The cat is exceptionally strong for its size.
Question #4:
Hi,
We are thinking about getting a shock collar for our 17 month old Wheaten Terrier. We would like a means of correcting him when he chases the cat and jumps up on the counter (with his front two paws on top). Since these things happen in an instant, we were thinking about a shock collar because it is quick and you can do it remotely (i.e. by pushing a button). How do you feel about this? Are there any alternatives that would work just as well or better? Are there any good kinds that you recommend? Thank you so much. Please no rude answers!
Have a great day!

We would put it on the lowest level the dog could feel. Oh, and we have tried water spraying- it doesn't work. He LOVES being sprayed by water!
Oh, and just a little more info- this dog is way too fast to correct with a leash. By the time we get over to that dog, he is already off the counter. We are thinking of using this as a means of correcting until he learns. NOT for ever and ever. Trust me- we love this dog more than anything and would never hurt him. He is HURTING our cat. He JUMPS on her. He's a 42 pound dog, and she's a 10 pound cat. She's terrified of him now, so we need to find a method of correcting him that works.
We have tried as many ways as we can think of, including positive reinforcement. He does not respond to ignoring. Once again, there are nicer ways to get your point across then to insult people. Thank you!
Oh, and yes, the cat does have a bell on her collar. The dog gets up and LOOKS for her to try to chase her.
How do you feel about vibration collars? Do these work? They seem to be non painful... what do you think? Here is a link-

Question #6:
She did have dry skin, but my vet told me to give her fish oil in her food to help with that, and it has. But her fur (doesn't seem dry to me) always gets shocked when I pet her. And it makes me feel bad. I though about rubbing a fabric softener on her, but I don't know if that'll be good for her when she cleans herself. Any suggestions...?
Thanks
Well my other 2 cats are not being shocked. I will get some rubber sole slippers and a humidifer and see if it helps.

read the story above. the state was going to put a lien on the house of this blind elderly woman because she owed a freakin' penny on a water bill. A PENNY!!!! We have corporate fat cats trying to get us tax payers to bail them out while they still live the life of luxuary, and the state of massachusetts threatened to place a lien on this woman's house for a penny. now that's pathetic
what are your thoughts?
Question #8:
why do cats knead , i mean an adult male cat he only kneads when he lays on the couch with me
Question #9:
My house is getting exterminated on Saturday and we are taking our cats and dogs with us since they are doing the inside and outside of the house.
I don't want to sit in the car for 4 hours and I don't think my dogs do either. The cats will be inside their carriers.
They are exterminating ants in the backyard and bugs in the house!
I only have 3 cats! but I have 2 dogs and my mother has 1 dog.
I am glad the ants and bugs will be gone! The ants for sure! Dakota my Rottie mix is allergic to them. Once she rolled in a pile of them and her eye puffed up. I hate the bugs too but the cats like to chase them.
We keep getting the big roaches in the house and the small ones! Once those are gone we can move and clean the kitchen out.
Yes I am in Texas! Its not that hot here right now but its not snowy and cold either.
Its still nice and cool and warm out.
I was thinking of leaving the cats at my brother's house wile we have to be out. Then we can take Duke and Dakota to the dog park and then come home and wait.

Question #11:
Question #12:
okay this is a long story...., a while ago I saved a wild baby mouse from one of my cats, (the mouse was that young it still had an umbilical cord!) it was pretty shaken with a few scratches but seemed okay.
So I put the mouse in a cage with my two female mice of about 11 months, and immediately they started to mother it and look after it.
about 4 weeks later the i discovered the mouse was in fact a male, so i was advised to separate them. so i did.
the male mouse then started to get lonely and cried out alot, so, i then got another nale to keep it company which i later discovered was a bad idea.
one of my female mice died and so I gave in and put the remaining 3 together. and again, this backfired on me as both mice ganged up on the wild baby mouse so now it has to be on its own.
my point being, while the female mice were taking care of the baby male, not once did it show any signs of mating or interest to the females, it has never marked its terratory with a scent, and frankly, does not act as a male mouse does. which leads me to think, could it be safe to get a new female to go with the baby, as he only gets on with them and doesnt appear to be interested in mating?
Question #13:
Im only 15 so ive got to ask mums permission to buy pets to have at home and she wont let me have anything big like a cat or dog because we already have those(as family pets). So far i have 5 budgies, 2 love birds, 2 guinea pigs, and tropical fish. what could i get next? (i live in australia if that makes any difference)
Thanks!
Thanks vicky, that sounds true!
Question #14:
As I posted in a recent question, yesterday I brought home a farm kitten who seems to have some mobility issues (mostly back legs; some weakness in the front too). I thought it might be neurological, and others think it could be hip/leg/spinal damage. Has anyone seen similarities with positively diagnosed FELV cases?
-Obvious leg/mobility issues
-Slightly watery eye/upper respiratory
She's completely alert and is eating/drinking/already using litter box (and she is isolated from my other cats entirely). She also is from a farm full of cats...none of whom have ever exhibited anything close to what she has. I'm a cat freak, and I pay pretty close attention to what some people refer to as "just farm cats". To me, they're all precious little creatures!
Of course, I found her after my vet was closed, but I'm calling my vet in the morning to get her checked (I have a doctor's appointment for myself, but I'll be canceling that...we all have our priorities!!). Right now, I'm just panicking, searching for possibilities and maybe just a little reassurance.
I appreciate the answers I got with my previous question, and it gave me some possibilities I hadn't considered. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with FELV?
Thanks for any/all input!!
Thank you so much for all of the input! I absolutely am treating her as though she's got something contagious until proven otherwise by the vet. Everyone is being kept two rooms apart (so no sniffing even under the door), and hands are washed between cats. It's just making for a VERY long night, waiting to get done with work and then getting her to the vet ASAP! I appreciate all the experiences and info shared!
Question #15:
I have been verbally abused, lied about and threatened by a poster, on several sites. I have also received nasty emails under the name of several of his avatars. He has used my initials and even the name of my cat under various avatars.
I have been collecting these abusive items for several months. What I need to know is: will these be sufficient to have him arrested or at least sued by my legal counsel? Can this be done if he lives out of state or in a different country altogether?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Words written or spoken are 'verbal.' That's the definition of 'words.'
Intrus: Thank you for the link to this judgement on "Cyberstalking and Internet Harassment." I will bring it to the attention of the proper authorities..
Today I contacted a Law Professor friend. He will assign this case to a group of his students. They will receive credit and the stalker/abuser will receive a summons. He said the students will be excited to be working on a real case.
The prof says if the perpetrator is not homeless, they will find him. He says the Internet has brought the world together, a crime is being comitted and it does not matter where he lives. I will not even need to pay for international telephone calls, since this is a funded student project.
Thank you all for your support. The investigation will begin after the Thanksgiving break.
