Borinquena asked:


Here’s my dilemma. My man has two dogs, a Rotweiler & a Shitzu. I have two cats, both female, both strictly domestic, both have been spayed. In the near future we plan to live together. Now the problem is, can we get the cats & dogs to live together as one big happy family? How do you introduce animals that are obviously supposed to be “enemies” to each other, into a new household? Is this at all possible? Any Vets out there with a real answer?

Recently we got a dog. And when we were picking it out we were advised to get a boy instead of a girl, because girls were more independent and boys were more lovable. Now we are considering adopting a cat. We already have to girl cats, and i was wondering if there is any major difference between girls and boys behavior wise. And which gender would be more advisable to adopt with two, seven year old female cats.

Kelsey R asked:


i had a cat that would arch its back and walk around sideways during a full moon. now i have two cats, whom are usually good to each other, but whenever the moon is full they fight all night and have fits. I have found several reports like this and some veterinarians say that the dog and cat injury/illness rate is up during a full moon. But i haven’t found anything that explains it. do you have similar stories? do you know why cats change behavior during a full moon? and don’t deny it, because it’s proven that some cats change their behavior when the moon is full.

I am starting some tomatoes and basil inside and I couldn’t figure what was eating the tips of them. I have since discovered that one of my cats is biting at them. Any suggestions of a natural way I can repeal the cats from doing this?

Su asked:


My old cat just went missing and I have not even seen his body. This happened to my friend too. So, do we ever find our cats body, when they die of a natural death? What happens when they die? Where can we find their body?

Michelle A asked:


I love my cats and kittens, I have 6. We do have them outside because we just aren’t home enough to care for them. But my cats are clean and loyal. Its just that my cats like to poop in my beautiful, green grass which drives my husband crazy! We have weekend BBQ’s and family gatherings every weekend and my husbands has to pick up tons of poop everywhere! What can I do to make the poop somewhere else? Or make them stop pooping in the grass??? Is there something I can put in the yard? Please help!

asked:


How long is the normal time period (about) ? I know they stay a long time away from them but how long? My cat just had her kittens but i dont know where the are and i know that may seem irresponisible but i didnt find our she was a pregnet till yesterday. I was just about to build a box but when i came home i found a dead kitten that my outdoor dog found….You can guess the rest so i need to figure out how long because she is a small kitty (for her age) and im worried that was the only one. I am a expert on dogs but when it comes to cats im clueless!

How long do average tabby cats live? My cat is 15 years old in people years. Which means he’s like 105 in cat years! He doesn’t really act any different from when I got him!
